Outlook & Outlook Express

[Guest_tivo33]

I have a home network and I am trying to read my email from my laptop.  The email is downloaded onto my main computer and that is where I want to keep it.  How can I access it so it can be read from my mobile laptop while still keeping the main copy on my main computer?

You would need to setup a network share on your desktop, Map a drive on your laptop to that share, then point your outlook to load the PST file from that network drive.

you will run into problems though if you loose wireless connection, I'd run a test on a new PST file before I would use my main data file for email.

I have tried dooing that with outlook to no avail.
MSOutlook can import a pst file but then it becomes static, and will not refer to the main machine's pst file.

The only way I found to get it to work was by using MS Exchange.

Good luck, I hope it works for you.

thanks,  I didn't think it would be that hard.  How does that MS Exchange work?  I am not familiar with that at all.
