Synchronizing Outlook Express on a Home Netwrok

A

Andrew

I have setup a home network with a desktop (98) and a
laptop(xp). I'd like to be able to use Outlook Express on
both. Right now, I can, but the messages are not
synchronized. I was able to export and synch the address
book, but for some reason the mail message is proving much
harder. Does anyone have any suggestions?

thanks,

Andrew

You can't. the only thing you can do is to set each instance of Outlook
Express to keep messages on the server and delete after x days. That way you
can download the same emails to both machines. There is no supported way of
synchronising the sent items folders however other than copying one to the
other.

Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name
For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as

microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress (for OE 6), or

an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're

accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support

Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click

http://communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.asp?icp=InternetExplorer

to get to the Internet Explorer groups, then click the plus sign next to

your version of IE to see the link to the Outlook Express group for that

version number. Good luck!
