Synching Outlook on two PCs ?

    Hoping you can help me out here guys,

    I'm running OUtlook 2003 on my desktop & 2007 on my laptop. No problem with the inbox as I have the mail set to stay on the server, therefore it downloads to both systems, however when I send an email from one system, I want it to appear in the sent items of the other one.

    Is this possible ? If so, can someone give me a step by step ?

    TIA

    you are only talking about one account and you aren't using pst ?
    would have thought it would do it automatically
    have you enabled caching OST files

    so what sort of setup do you have ??

    you can use rules to move email to a particular folder

    but if you are using PST's then the rule is local to each computer

    Thanks for the reply.

    It's a standard POP3 account both systems are using a PST file, the mail is deleted off the server every 30 days or when deleted on the system, but I can't find a way of keeping the sent items updated.

    you have two separate PST's so it would get messy

    http://www.publicshareware.com/outlook-synchronisation-description.php - you can get some software there that sync's pst's

    www.slipstick.com - has lots more third party apps to do this

    no point in complaing to microsoft since exchange server will allow you to synchronise to as many pc's as you want.


    other option would be to have a rule that forwards all sent items to another pop3 account which you then collect email from with another rule to put that email in another folder - it gets messy and if you screw up you either loose emails or get into a loop where they bounce around all day

    PST's are date stamped when you open them so very difficult to work out which pst would contain the latest and dragging and dropping means you get duplicates.
