Microsoft Outlook

[carl9254]

May be a long shot on here but you never know.

Basically i have a PC and a Laptop both have microsoft outlook on them, and i can recieve my emails on both of them now but there not synced together, how can i do this?

I just want to be able to see exactly the same screen and emails on both. I have just bought my laptop but can only view the recent emails on that. I want to be able to view all my emails, sub folders etc on my laptop as im starting to work away a bit now and need access.

Can anybody help?

Thank you.

think you;ll find that you will receive all future emails on both. not sure if you can get the historic ones onto the lappy.

I do, but if i view them on a pc and move them to my sub folder then there gone on the laptop. Or any send emails from one cant be seen on another if this makes sense?

You need to leave a copy on the server to be able to do what you want to do, but as I no longer use outlook, and it may be version dependent I cannot advise you where the settings are.

I think you'll struggle if you want to see received and sent emails on both computers....

True, but by leaving a copy on the server (e-mail server in settings) both (or more) computers will be able to receive the same e-mails, by doing this when you receive the e-mail on one machine it still leaves the message for the other machine to read instead of removing it/marking it as read.

Another way might be to consider using a web-mail account.

What you need is Microsoft exchange, usually between £5-10 per month, this will allow all devices to interact and sync perfectly and all emails will appear on all devices

That sounds like the perfect solution gavin, I must admit the last version of outlook I used was MSO 2003, and I have never used exchange.

Microsoft exchange is easy, if you get a hosted solution such as what 1 and 1 offer it can be set up and running within 20 mins. Run all my guys accounts off it that way we can share all our work related calendars, notes etc easy and on the go.

Take a look at Office 365, it is approx £100 a year per user - you get hosted exchange, full versions of the full office suite (downloaded and installed on PC's), Web space for public website all included. It was a simple case of pointing my domain at the correct Microsoft servers and within a couple of hours all was working. Also comes with Skydrive Pro cloud storage and IOS versions of the office suite if you have iPhone or iPad.

Another option would be Google for Business, about £40 a year when i used it and with google app sync you can sync mail to outlook 2010 and earlier (doesn't work with 2013 or CTR versions without a bit of work installing) - Obviously with this you technically have to buy Outlook at about £100 a copy for each pc unless you have a multi install version and Office Home and Business if you use it on top!
