Sounds like one of two things:

1 - One computer is really using POP rather than IMAP and
downloading/deleting the messages from the server. (Or any computer
pointed to the box fetching with POP3.)

2 - The settings are such that only unread messages are shown, so when
you read the message on one computer it is marked as read and not shown
on the other.
