Synchronize remote and local Outlook inboxes

L

I have outlook 2002 on a microsoft network at work. I recently started
working at home, so I took my work computer to my house. Most of the time I
access my Outlook account on the server via remote internet access. Another
computer has been set up at work, and Outlook 2002 installed on it.

The problem is that when I open Outlook on the new local PC, it removes all
the emails from my remote inbox. Also, it does not pull in the server-based
folders.

Is there a way I can 1) keep it from deleting my remote inbox and 2)
synchronize the content of the local Outlook to what's on the server/web?

Hope that makes sense. Also hope I've posted in the right place. Thanks!

Change your account to an account type that doesn't download or modify your
account so that it leaves a copy of your messages on the server. Your
description indicates that you may be using a POP account and POP accounts
know about one single folder: Inbox. POP accounts can't reference anything
else. Talk to your network people and ask them what your options are.
