I use Microsoft Outlook Professional 2003 for my email on one computer. I
just got second computer to use at my office. I need to know if Outlook can
be used from both of my computers? Is their a way to get all my emails on
both computers?

Outlook can be used on any number of computers - but you generally need to
pay for each copy.

If you use a POP3 email account hosted by your ISP, you can download your
emails to both computers by using the Delivery options located under
Tools/Email Accounts/Next/Change/More Settings/Advanced.

These options allow you to leave your emails on the ISP server so that your
second computer can download them in addition to your first computer. You
will need to set these options on both computers. You should also decide
when the messages should be remove from the ISP server using the other two
tick boxes.

This is a cheap and easy solution but it means you will be dealing with the
same emails twice (one on each computer) and you will not have access to any
of the other data within Outlook (ie. Sent Items/Calendars/Tasks). If you
need access to one set of data you will need to consult a professional to
discuss other options.

Check the End User License Agreement for your copy of Outlook 2003 and see
what it says about how many computers you can use it on. Usually, though, if
it's two computers it's one desktop machine and one portable machine (i.e. a
notebook computer).

Read your End User License Agreement. That will dictate what you can and
cannot do. Typically, retail versions of Outlook can be use on one desktop
and one laptop, provided the purchaser is the primary user of each PC.
Office 2003 STudent and Teacher Edition permited installing on three PCs,
IIRC.
