pop3 email problems

[Edward Letendre]

I have a pop3 email account that I have been using for years. I receive my
messages in three places (my desktop, my laptop and my blackberry). My
desktop computer recently crashed. After I did a rebuild and got everything
working again, the messages on my laptop show up but as soon as I check the
messages on my desktop computer, the messages from my laptop computer
disappear as if they were never there. I sent two test messages. I checked
the messages on my laptop and the two messages showed up. As soon as I
checked the email on my desktop, the two message showed up but on the laptop,
the two same messages and everything else I had on the laptop is gone. I
have both machines set to download the messages but save them on the server.
What is causing my problem and what can I do to solve this problem?

There's simply no way that a POP account on one PC can affect the POP account
on another PC that has already received messages unless your Blackberry can
sync with both and it removed the messages.
