You need to use an imap server, I do not know if gmail has this or

If I am wrong please do not shoot me, as I am not 100% sure, but
have always set users up with imap when they have asked for this
feature.
Okay, I won't shoot you, but POP3 servers do permit you to
download a
copy of a message without deleting it. I know this is supported in
Eudora and Outlook, but I don't know about Mail.app. Often it
masquerades as a "leave on server for x days" feature.

Yes mail.app lets you leave a copy of the message on the server for X
days.
Configure is under account preferences. Do it on both machines of
course. Be
careful not to leave it there too long as your mailbox will fill up.

I already have the 'Leave on server' thing set up. But for some
reason, it still won't download emails to two both computers. I have
already have been able to do this with other POP accounts, but for
some
reason gMail behaves differently.
Thanks for everyone's help. I'll keep trying.

Hi David,
I don't use Gmail, but I did find this comment which might be helpful
to you.

GMail POP is non-standard.
Generally speaking, each message can only be popped once.
Whether or not the message stays on the server is set by the user
within GMail ...

>> 2. When messages are accessed with POP
The choices are ...
keep Gmail's copy in the Inbox
archive Gmail's copy
trash Gmail's copy
However, it seems that you can reset GMail's pop list clicking on ...
Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been
downloaded)
... and "saving the changes".
This will allow you to download a new copy of ALL your e-mail.
