Wont I have to set it up as a pop3 account? I would like it to function the
same when I am at the office or away.

Is there any good reason why you can't install Outlook on your new laptop
and use the same Exchange Server account you currently have?

I am thinking about getting a laptop and scrapping my office computer. I
have one issue that I cant seem to solve, Microsoft Outlook. Currently I
am
directly hooked up with the exchange server, I like the peace of mind that
my
stuff is stored and backed up on a server. If I switch to a laptop is my
only option a POP3 connection? I realize I can keep a copy of my email on
the server but what if my laptop blows up or gets lost or stolen? What
will
happen to all my contacts/appointments and so on?

Thanks for you help.
