For a POP server, your client would download(by default) the email to
your PC1. When you connect to the server using PC2, the client will only
see the "new" emails after which came after you checked from PC1. You
could ask the client programs to "leave a copy" (there is an option
which you can check in account settings) of the mails on the server. But
you probably won't know if you read those emails from PC1 when you check
them from PC2.
A better way to go about doing what you require is to use IMAP rather
than POP. With IMAP you get a copy of your emails from the mail server
and the server knows which emails you have read and the sent folder will
be the same for both PC1 and PC2 with IMAP (unlike with POP where you
see only those emails in the sent folder which you sent from that machine).
I hope that helps.
