I have a laptop which I use when away. Recently I had to use an extra workstation at the office so I set up my laptop on the domain. When I logged on and checked my mail the messages in my inbox all transferred from exchange to the laptop. Now I cant view my messages from a normal workstation - they are all on the laptop. Can someone tell me what is going on please.

Thanks
Brice
 
Are you using Outlook or Outlook Express on your laptop? Most likely, you have set the delivery to a personal folder on your laptop if you are using Outlook, or if you are using OE, then you need to specify to leave a copy on the server in the Accounts properties
 
After altering the setting, you can move back the messages as well.
If you want a temporary workstation to check mail, you are best to configure it as IMAP, that way, you don't have that problem.
