Hi Everyone
I have a desktop at home, my main computer and carry a laptop for work.
Is there any simple way of sync the mailboxes on these computers so that when i am away from home and using the laptop, I have a full copy of all the emails on the desktop?
Or is it as simple as copying the .PST file from the desktop to the laptop before I leave home?

In the settings for the account, under advanced settings you will be able to tick 'leave a copy on the server' Both pc's will then be able to pick up the mail as and when you want them to. Just be sure to delete the mails on the server every now and thenNudge nudge, Wink wink, Say No More!0

Or you could always copy/sync the outlook.pst files between your two computers using one of the free file sync s/w packages out there. That is what I do.Cheers
