Outlook 2002 help!!

[english101researcher]

Been trying several things to get this to work, but havent found a good solution yet. Let me start by explaining my setup and what I want to do. I have two computers. One is my desktop at home, and a laptop that I use both at home and around campus. I use one email address, on a pop3 server, and can receive email on both the laptop and the desktop computer. I would like to find a way to sync the two computers, so if i receive an email on one computer, it will be avalible on the other, and the outlook calendar will be the same on both computers. Does anyone have any idea how to do that? I am open to third party software sudgestions.

Thanks
Garrett

I've not found a good way to do this either.

My solution is to set one computer to leave a copy of the e-mail on the server until the second one has picked it up.

Then I sync the calendar and phone book with my Palm.

I'm open to better ideas after several years of this though.

Here is one idea I though of, but dont know how well it would work. Could I use one outlook folder file (pst) for both computers? Instead of having one file on each computer, have one file on the internet that both computers would access when outlook was opened.

Bglad's idea of leaving a copy on the server might work. As for the calendar Outlook 2000 had an option for Net folders, which allowed you to share a folder across multiple computers. I was looking through Outlook 2002 and didn't find that option. Not sure how you could share the calendar otherwise, unless you're connected to an Exchange network 😛

you can set the mail account to leave messages on the server. That way you wont delete them when you download them. Otherwise I don't know how to do what you want without an exchange server.
