I am getting all of my email on one computer (WIN XP), but only part of it on another computer (WIN Vista)
As noted, I get all of my email on one computer, but when it does not all show up on the other computer, and even though I have my account server settings o check for email every ten minutes, I usually have to check manually, but it still doesn't show all email.

You probably use POP as account type. With POP messages are removed from the server when opened. So whatever computer picks up the message first will remove it from the server.
You can tell one computer to leave messages on the server, so you can read them with both computers. Only the second one will then remove it from the server.
AppMenu button - Options - Account Settings - Server Settings
Check 'Leave messages on the server'.
Alternatively you could set-up both of your accounts as IMAP ones, so that messages will be synchronized between both computers.
Thank you for replying, but no... I have all three of my computers (two desktop and one laptop) set to leave mail on sever until I delete them.
This also doesn't explain why, even though all computers are set to check for mail every 10 minutes, I have to manually check for most mail on the Vista desktop...

I'd set-up all accounts as IMAP. Understand how IMAP works before starting.

If you don't want to switch try to increase the interval at which you're checking for new messages.
