I did this for a year or so. It requires careful attention, but it can be done.
The Rules would be: 1. Both machines must be set to retrieve mail and NOT leave it on the server. This prevents the double-delivery problem. 2. After using laptop, laptop must synchronize with home PC before using home PC for E-mail. 3. After using home PC, laptop must synchronize with home PC before using laptop for E-mail. 4. Both machines cannot be used for E-mail at the same time. You notice I wrote the above from the perspective of laptop controlling the synchronization. In my case, the PST on the laptop was in a briefcase, so the synchronizing task was always done at the laptop. You can use any file synchronizing software of course.

Hello all, I'm trying to figure out the best way to share and or sync one Outlook (*.pst) file between two computers (my laptop I use at work and my home PC). Though I say I use the laptop at work I am no way connected to an Exchange server. I managed to copy the file back and forth but the problem I ran into was mailed I downloaded at work would download again when I got home.
