How to avoid dealing with messages twice

S

Sitara Lal

I have an office PC and a home PC, as well as a laptop (used only when I am
on the road) - with Office 2003 loaded on each of them.

My daily routine involves downloading mail in the office PC (configured to
leave mail on the server), coming home later in the afternoon to download
mail on the home PC (also configured to leave mail on the server) and then
going back to the office the next day to download the previous day's mail in
a third 'archive' PC (which has Outlook Express on it and is configured to
wipe downloaded messages off the server). 'Server' in this context refers to
the mail server on my ISP's machine.

The Outlook configurations on both the main office PC and home PC includes
multiple folders and I tend to waste a lot of time moving the same messages
which I have read once before (either at the office or at home) to the
appropriate folders in the respective folders.

I am sure there is a much better way to handle this so that I need to look
at messages (and file them in the appropriate folder) once only, yet
maintaining a full copy of my Inbox both at the office and at home.

Can someone with better brains than me suggest a smart solution?

Thanks
