I receive mail through a PC on Outlook Express. When I check my mail on my
laptop through Windows Live I don't receive all my mail. It is not the same
sender. One day I will receive mail from sender X on my laptop, and one day
I wont.

If both computers are using the same e-mail address, on both machines:

Tools | Accounts | Mail | Properties | Advanced - Check: Leave a copy of
messages on the server.

On one machine only, check to Delete messages after X days to satisfy your
allotted space you get from your server.

If you are using POP then retrieving e-mails means they are NOT left on the
mail server. The default behavior for POP is to RETR (retrieve) followed
by a DELE (delete).

Yep, because you retrieved AND deleted them when you polled using OE.

Because you pulled the e-mail from sender X when you polled using OE. So
that e-mail is in OE and OE deleted the copy from the mail server. Then
when you later try to use WLM, that e-mail is no longer on the mail server
for WLM to find it there. It's already been deleted by OE.

If you want to use multiple e-mail clients against the same e-mail account
that is accessed using POP, you need to configure all those e-mail clients
to "leave message on server". That eliminates the DELE command. OE will
then do a RETR but no DELE. That means the e-mail didn't get deleted by OE
and will still be around when you poll using WLM (which you will also have
to configure with "leave message on server" so OE can get a copy if WLM
first saw the e-mail).

You need to configure the POP accounts that you defined in your e-mail
client to "leave message on server". I am only guessing that you are using
POP to access your e-mail account(s). You never specified which protocol
you use to access your e-mail account(s). IMAP access wouldn't have this
problem.
