Outlook 2010 and 2003 Same User Different PC - Will it Work?

[TheScullster]

Hi all

I have a number of users with both desktop and laptop devices.
The desktops are purely for office use and the laptops for site.
We are looking at replacing the desktop PCs with Win 7 and Outlook 2010 and
later the laptops.
Will there be an issue with users having one device with Outlook 2003 client
and one with Outlook 2010 client.
They are not connected simultaneously as-a-rule, but the laptops are
connected prior to site trips so the user can travel with an up-to-date
cached inbox and also the appropriate public folder related to the job in
hand (we store messages relating to each project in a specific public
folder).

Thanks

Phil

No issue with that setup. It should work just fine. I use Outlook
2010 and Outlook 2003 on different computers all of the time.
