Synchromising Outlook

[Phil]

Can anyone recommend a method of synchronising my copies of Outlook on my
desktop and laptop which does not involve copying the outlook.pst file
between the 2 machines?

If the two machines are networked together, an UNSUPPORTED way would be to
place your PST on a network share and map each Outlook to the same PST.

Hi Phil,

we released today a Beta version of EZOutlookSync- that is meant to do
just what you need. You basically to the program the two *.pst file, it
will compare them and bring updated data to each, or to one of them.
Beta version is absolutely free- please download from
http://www.ezoutlooksync.com . We would be really grateful to listen to
any comments and feature requests you might have.

Best regards,
Maxim

Looks like a nice tool.

Your website says, "EZOutlookSync will run on your Windows
95/98/Me/NT4/2000/XP with Outlook 2000/XP/2003." To be pedantic, there is
no such beast as Outlook XP. Office XP includes Outlook 2002.

Hi Brian,

Thank you very much for the response. I do have a home network but I'm not
sure your suggestion will help.

I work a lot from home on my desktop pc. As part of my preparations for
working away from home I want to be able to sync the "current state" of
Outlook i.e. e-mails, tasks, calender etc. with my laptop so that I can pick
up from where I left off on my desktop and then transfer everything back when
I return home.

My Outlook.pst file is often over 700 mb in size and this has provied
difficult to copy between machines.

I'll have a look at the next posting for the sync'ing software.

Thank you none the less for your suggestion.

Regards,


Phil

Hi Maxim,

Thank you very much for your posting. This looks like an ideal solution to
my problem. A software based solution seems much more preferable than trying
to copy files particularly very large outlook.pst files.
