Email from Desktop to Laptop

Post by thedamage » Fri Jan 04, 2008 5:28 pm

So I just got a laptop.

But I want to use the desktop at home to do most things and have the laptop to send and receive emails on the move.

Basically, how do I configure outlook so that I have all my emails (sent and received) on both computers all the time?

You know what I mean, don't chya?

Any thoughts.

You need mail server that supports IMAP. Alternatively use a POP connection but set in your preferences (on both email clients) to leave a copy of the message on the server (or messages on server for X days). The latter way is not a very good way of doing it though.

However, doing like r3ddr said will be the easiest option.

Isnt there something in outlook that lets you access your emails whilst your offline. When you connect to the mail server it updates these files. I think that is the way to go, if you set this up on both machines then each time you connect to the mail folder the files will be updated.

On my laptop I have a folder that has a outlook.ost file and a personalfoleder.pst file.

You can synchronize your email. But for that you need remote access to either or both accounts.
