First computer to log in takes all e-mail?

We have 2 computers on a home network. We use one e-mail address and tick the 'keep copy on server' box so that mail comes in to both computers.

This has worked well since set up some time ago, but for approx. the last 4 days the first computer to log in receives the e-mail, but the other gets nothing. We don't use aliases or any other divisions.

I've checked that the keep copy boxes are ticked and when I log in to www.mail2web.com I can see the e-mails still on the server.

Any ideas on what could have gone wrong?


Can I add on a second query here, please.

To avoid this in future, I'm now thinking of setting up a new mailbox for the second computer. I've looked at Virgin Self-care and understand what to do. Query is: After setting up mailbox how do you allocate the mailbox to a specific computer?

Sorry if the answer is obvious but it's not to me!
