I've been trying to syncronize 2 pc's to enable me to access my inbox. I have on PC in a lab and one at my cube. If I open the lab outlook it pulls out the mail from the cube outlook. I had to do an import to pull it back to my cube (the primary PC). Is there a way to see a single inbox resource on two pc's? I've looked in the monster MS knowledgebase with no luck.

The only 2 suggestions I can give are: 1.) If you are using an Exchange Mail server, have outlook deliver mail to your mailbox (on the server). Then it would be available anywhere you logged in on the network where you had a profile. The other suggestion would be to store your pst file on the network so that if your profile points to the same PST on both boxes, you would have access to it. If these 2 environments do not have any network connectivity, there is no way of doing this that I knowof.

since you say the mail is being pulled to your outlook client, i would assume you are using Internet EMail service. There is an option that you can Keep messages on the server. It's in the properties of the Internet EMail service. (Tools, Services, properties of Internet Email).

this is only an assumption, so if i'm wrong, please respond with the configuration of your outlook clients, whether or not you have an exchange server, etc.

Sorry, I gues I didn't give enough info for you to give a good answer. I'm using an Exchange server service for both PC's.
