| 722721 | 2008-11-25 01:44:00 | Hi One and all I have a desktop and have now finally succumbed to a laptop so I can have all my required data/letters, procedures with me in electronic form. Has anyone have any experience with syncing Outlook data (.pst) from desktop PC to laptop? I have just copied my pst file (780,000Kb) onto the laptop and if there was a way to only copy across the new files/emails, this would take a lot less time It would be nice if this could be semi-automatic when the Laptop is plugged into the LAN I have Googled and found some information, but the procedures all look a little messy Both comps are using XPPro and Office 2003 and Outlook, not Express. They will both share internet connection/LAN via a switch and/or wireless. So, if any one is already doing this and can pass on some advice, thanks in advance. Cheers HH |

| 722722 | 2008-11-25 02:19:00 | I have installed PSTsync (www.outlooksync.com) on 4 PC's all worked perfectly, there are several options on how you want to sync your Outlook. There is a fully working trial - have a look at the flash demo on the left. Last time I set it up for a customer , they wanted to sync the mail from work laptop to home desktop, when setting up, as long as the laptop is connected to the LAN it will detect and pick it up next time as well. |

| 722724 | 2008-11-25 02:53:00 | I don't know if this is the best system, but it works for me. I use SmartSyncPro, and it synchronises all documents etc automatically daily between my main pc and my laptop. I have it set up to synchronise Outlook similarly, except I do it manually rather than on a fixed daily schedule. The reason for doing it manually is that it will only synchronise provided Outlook is closed down on both computers; I could never remember to shut it down prior to the schedule... http://www.smartsync.com/ My main pc is set up to download messages from the server, whereas the laptop is set up to leave messages on the server. That means that when I travel I can deal with emails, but they are all still there on the Paradise server for when I get home and get the "master set" on the main pc. |

| 722726 | 2008-11-25 06:18:00 | Hi All Thanks for the very quick responses I'll have a look at the suggestions I am using POP3 with xtra and as a lot of my emails contain large data files as attachments from various companys around the world, I wish to have access to these without having to download again. Basically looking for a mirror image of my desktop PC Outlook, on my Laptop I will on rare occasions want to send email from the laptop. Thanks again HH |
