Default Two e-mail programs simultaneously

It what way doesn't it work?

By default using POP3 with Gmail, message will download to only on PC.
This is a Gmail "feature". To download messages to both, see

Another option with Gmail is to use IMAP. In this case the mail
programs mirror the web mail. Any changes made in either PC or the web
get reflected in the others next time you synch. This includes deleting
messages or moving between folders.

I am using gmail for e-mail. I use the e-mail program Windows mail.
But I now
have two computers. I would like to open my e-mails on the new
computer too,
in a neat e-mail program. Outlook Express is pre installed so I want
to use
that. The new computer (a netbook) operates with mobile broadband,
they
stationary computer gets internet from cable.

Computer 1: (stationary)
Runs on broadband, Internet Explorer 8, Windows Vista, Windows mail

Computer 2 (netbook):
Runs on mobile internet, Internet Explorer 8, Windows XP, Outlook
Express 6

I have configurated my e-mail account by just mirroring the settings
from
computer 1 to computer 2. It doesn´t work. Possible to fix it?

Thankful for all help I can get.
