how to setup outlook for 2 computers and not get duplicates

I have 2 computers using outlook. One for traveling and one is the home
computer. While traveling I want to see all emails but dont want duplicates.
I want the home computer to be the 'storage' site for all my emails in case I
need to go back and research them when I get home. How should I set up both
computers so that all emails are stored on the home base machine and I can
see and read all emails on the road and not get duplicate messages? If I read
emails on my traveling laptop are they then saved on my laptop eventhough
they are not deleted from the server? If I access the server again to read
emails will I get duplicates? What kind of setup/scenario do I need?

Thank You.

Easiest setup is to get an e-mail provider that has IMAP access to your
mailbox so multiple e-mail clients can synchronize to it (which also keep
the e-mail clients synchronized).

With a POP account, you cannot. Neither of two computers hae any idea what
the other can see or not see, nor can one access the other (without special
software).

OOOOr... You can use ShareO and share all your MS Outlook folders using
Internet connection. BTW this program has duplicate management system.
All changes made on one computer will be reflected on the other one.
