Synching two instances of Outlook 2003

[AtomicFire]

Like many I have a laptop (T41) and a desktop, and many other desktop computers strewn at home and work.

Like many I use Outlook with a PPC for calendering, memos, and contacts, and don't forget email!

Unlike many, I am obsessed with being neat and orgoinized, and I haven't yet found an elegant solution to synching all my instances of Outlook with the same informaton, over networks (a.k.a not carring a jump drive around with pst files).

Anyone else have the same deliema? How do you deal with this? For ages I used to use Activesync and a PPC, but the new Activesync that works with my new X51v only lets you sync mail with one pc!

I'd love to know too...but the only reliabel way know of is the usb drive/synctoy method. Using synctoy from microsoft, syncronise your files between your pc and the USB key every time you move around.

Another method i've heard about recently is https://www.foldershare.com/ Also from microsoft. It does something similar, but over the internets.

Are you in an MS Exchange environment?

I gave up on solutions like that, and set up my desktop to use RDP. Now I just remote into my desktop to check mail etc. Granted I don't rely on outlook like the OP, but it is an option

Nope - though if there were an open-source Exchange compadible server i'd use it..

I have not heard of any thing that effecient. Like the other guy said remote into your work computer. You might just remote in with a vpn and store pst's only on a map drive and have all computers you access use the same mapped pst's.
