Synchronize on 2 computers

C

Crazy

I use Outlook on two computers and use Outlook 2007 on both. I have only one email account (IMAP on Gmail.)
The problem is in either computer it only downloads those emails which I havent already downloaded onto the other comp. How do I get Outlook to fetch all emails on both computers (i.e. complete synchonize)?

Thanks

Outlook should show you the entire contents of a folder when you open it.
Are you saying it doesn't?

Crazy,
If the GMail acct is set up to use IMAP, and not POP3. Then the messages
should be in the GMail folders on the second PC. When you read a message on
one PC, it marks the message as "Read" in the server folder. So on the
second PC, the message in the GMail folder has also been marked "Read". What
you might have to do is to change the "VIEW" settings for each of those
GMail folders, especially if you have the View set for "Show only Unread
Messages".

In Outlook> Click on one GMail folder at a time> On the toolbar under VIEW>
Select to show All Messages in that folder. Repeat for each GMail folder.
