Sync or running 1 mbox on 2 PC's without server

[Roderick]

I have a desktop and Laptop connected wirelessly to a network. At present
the desktop has outlook configured to my email address. I want to be able to
run outlook on the laptop such that it sees the mailbox and send emails etc
from the same account as the desktop, and such that outlook can be running on
both machines simultaneously. Ie I want to set it up in such a way that my
wife could be looking at email on the desktop and me simultaneously on the
laptop, similar to if I had an exchange server setup. I don't want to set up
exchange server (licence issue and only these 2PC's). Any Ideas on how I
could do this.

(A delay between the two of up to half an hour being in sync would be
acceptable)

Thanks

You cannot access the pst simultaneously
You can have two pst's and sync them
The use of a pst over a network is not supported - it can lead to data
loss/corruption.
