Using POP3 on my wife’s home business email address, she wants to be able to access and send/receive mail from laptop on our home network, but the .pst file and all her business folders are set up on the desktop machine.
I am loathe to try any kind of sync-ing solution unless it is FULLY automatic as she will not cope with updating files of her own volition. She can’t even stack the dishwasher effectively 2 times in a row.. She calls it being creative -then she calls me at work when it floods the kitchen..
I set the laptop Outlook app with all the same account settings as the desktop one. Every time she logs onto the desktop, all messages since her last logon (even though they may have been downloaded on the desktop already) are downloaded again as if new, creating an inbox full of duplicates -one read, one unread – How can I get the laptop Outlook app to only download from the POP (Squirrel Mail) server the mail files that have not yet been downloaded? Or, even better, how can I access and run the original Outlook app on the desktop ‘server’ from the laptop?
You can tell my network skills are limited, so if there is an answer, I’m hoping it’s simple. I’ll try a Laptop shortcut to the desktop Outlook app and see if it works..
-thanks
