Are you using POP or IMAP?

Tools|Account Settings|{select the account}|Server Settings→Server Type will tell you.

No menu? Press the <alt> key on your keyboard.

If POP, you must set it to leave a copy of the messages on the server, otherwise the first computer to see them gobbles them up leaving the server empty.

Tools|Account Settings|{select the account}|Server Settings→Server Settings→Leave messages on server.

If it's IMAP, then bear in mind that if you delete a message on any one computer/phone/tablet, it vanishes on the other computers/phones/tablets.
