| 240471 | 2004-05-30 10:59:00 | Hi all, I am having an ongoing problem finding a way so that only Outlook's address record, and email status download to the desktop from the laptop, and vice versa when they are connected via a network. That is, I take the laptop away alot, and download emails on the laptop whilst away. Once I return from the trip, I would like to be able to synchronise the two PC's so that the desktop uploads the emails downloaded by the laptop whilst I was away. Ideally, I would also like to have all the old email details on both PC's so I can obtain old email data where necessary...... So I guess, my main question is - is there a program that allows me to do this? Or is there an easy way to do this? Many thanks Craig. :D |

Its a system file so may be hidden. Its usually VERY large and traditionally a pig to transfer (import). Its not the way I would do it, because it would make one PC have a copy exactly the same as the other. Its not a synchronisation as such. Using the ISP server is tidier. |
