Syncing between 2 copies of Outook 2007

[in Technicolor®]

What is the best way to sync Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and Task between a
laptop and a desktop?

TIA

Thanks. I explore these "possibilities". As suped up O2007 is and how
important syncing would be in this world of Treo's, iPhones, Blackberrys,
Laptops, Desktops, Tablets, etc., there would be something simple built into
the Suite. It seems such an obvious need.

Thanks again.

Synching is never the purview of Outlook - it is simply the repository of your information. Synching is ALWAYS the phone, pda, palm, whatever's issue - Outlook does not need to synch with itself. The phone, pda, palm, whatever does.

But an easy way to synchronize between two separate installations of Outlook
is a reasonable and frequent request that will apparently never be addressed
by Microsoft. Standalone end users are simply not their target base for
Outlook.

I agree and think there needs to be a HUGE push to get this feature in a new
version (maybe before 2050).
I have a great need for it now with the amount I travel and the different
machines I use.

I use an iPAQ to sync mine.

Brian, can you provide the details on how you use your Ipaq to sync info
between two computers with Outlook? I'm looking to do just that.

When you set up the partnership on the first machine, you tell the wizard
that you'll be syncing with more than one PC. You then establish how
conflicts are to be handled (i.e., both the PC and the PDA have an item
changed - which overrides). The second machine also asks if you sync with
more than one PC. It's very straight-forward.
