Synchronising Outlook

[TigaSefi]

My dad wants to synchronise his outlook 2003 on his laptop with his desktop outlook 2003 whenever they are on the same network with his single ntlworld.com addy. What the best way to achieve this with minimum fuss ?

On his secondary device he'll need to configure outlook to leave the messages on the server after download.

Tools, Email Accounts, edit the mailbox, Go into "More Settings", last tab should be something like Advanced - Check the checkbox in the delivery section

Then on the primary device this will download the messages and delete them from the server hence both machines get the messages - please note that if the primary deletes them then the secondary will not get them.

Other options would be to forward all NTL mails to another NTL mails box and have the laptop pick them up from one account and the other machine pick them up from the other!

Or create a shared area and then a PST folder for the two machines to share (means having both machines on!)

HTH?

I'll try that. Any more suggestions ? Thanks Tricky.

Try this http://www.synchpst.com/index.htm I can't vouch for how good it is but it seems to do everything you need for about 20 quid

Also have a look here for MS's info on sharing PST files.
