I appreciate you taking the time to respond but you will understand my problem when I say that your last sentence means nothing to me

.
I suspect I will have to put up with the problem or try and find a technically literate friend or relative to help

.
For what its worth I have a blueyonder (Virgin) account and I have somehow managed to get my tablet to receive my mails. I suspect there must have been some sort of "wizard" type instructions which helped me (this would have been a few months ago). I only want to use the tablet a couple of times a year while on holiday in the UK.
95% of the time I access email through outlook on my desktop pc. If the mails get to my tablet first they do not appear on my pc. I don't enjoy using a small "keyboard" on the tablet so would always prefer to reply to mail on my desktop.
What I have been doing is forwarding any mail received on the tablet to my email address and then immediately switching off the wi-fi on the tablet to prevent them arriving straight back which is a pain.
I just wondered if anybody could tell me how to make the mails arrive in both locations.
