Default how can I get emails to more than one computer?

One computer running Outlook 2003 receives all messages from the two accounts
I have setup. The new computer running Outlook 2007 only receives one of the
accounts I have set up. I want both computers to receive all messages from
both setup accounts.
Thanks

Depends on the type of accounts, if pop mail you need to select the option
to leave a copy on the server, on both PC's
If the 2007 PC only resolves mail from a single account, and ignores the
other, the account settings are incorrect and you should see an err msg when
you test the accounts.
BTW setting the option to leave a copy on the server will not result in both
PC's being in sync for outlook, any sent mail will only be seen on the PC it
was sent from

DL's point is a good one, you can elect to leave messages on your email
server and then delete on the server only when deleted on the active Outlook
client but my reading of the question suggests that one of the two email
accounts on the new 2007 is not properly set up.

To verify, make sure the 2003 Outlook is not running, then send a message
from one email account to the other using Outlook 2007, both ways. The
messages will get through if both accounts are set up properly. You can
specify which outgoing mail server to use at the time of SEND regardless of
the default outgoing server (Account dropdown box under SEND button)

DL's comments are particularlly relevant if you wish to use two computers
interchangably, eg. desktop and laptop, on an ongoing basis.
