I just got a new hard drive and am reinstalling everything. I had Windows Live Mail 2011 but now have WLM 2012.
 
One of my e-mail addresses is a shared account with my husband. It is set up as a POP account. Before reinstalling it worked fine; we both had "Leave a copy of messages on server" checked in the Advanced tab, and it would download all the messages to each of our Windows Live Mail programs on two different computers, and to mail on an iPad as well.

Now that I have reinstalled, whenever a message downloads to my computer (running Windows Live Mail 2012), it does not download to my husband's computer, even though it is still on the server. The same is true if it downloads to his computer first (running Windows Mail). BOTH OF US HAVE "LEAVE A COPY OF MESSAGES ON SERVER" CHECKED. Since everything ran fine until I reinstalled WLM 2012, I have to assume the problem is with that.

The e-mail account is on GMail, and it is set up for POP (nothing has changed there since the reinstall).

Does anyone know how to fix things so that each of us can read all of the messages on the two different computers? Thanks.
