Outlook 97 2 computers and 1 mail account

[Chris Tattersall]

I have win98 on 2 networked pc's with a single broadband connection.

I need to be able to access the mail on both pc's and be able to have the
mail syncronised between the two so if I was to delete a message on one it
would also be removed from the other and also when I send/recieve on one the
new mail would also be available on the other If you get my meaning.

Is this possible? and could anyone point me in the right direction

You can either use IMAP on both machines or use POP with the account set to leave messages on the server and could then use Net Folders to share your Sent Items folders between machines. Messy. Outlook just isn't designed for that scenario in a standalone environment.
