Windows server supports pop3 and smtp... not sure if it supports IMAP which
is the best option for sharing. Otherwise you'll need a 3rd party tool.

Another option is leaving the mail on the server and downloading it to each
computer - using an IMAP acct is better.

If you use Outlook 2007 you can easily publish your calendar and share it
with both computers.

Currently I am accessing my desktop computer's installation of Outlook
through Remote Desktop, from my laptop. I can do this while on the same
LAN or remotely, through the internet.

This however is not really ideal, as I run my desktop at QXGA resolution
and my laptop has only a XGA screen. This means that when I get back
home, all the windows on my desktop are all messed up and really small.

What I would really like to do is be able to access remotely, in either
one of the ways you can do using Exchange Server.

I have a separate server machine (running Windows Server 2003 Standard)
that is on 24hrs, and ideally like to have the mailstore on that, somehow.

Is there any way to do this without Exchange Server. Is there third party
software for a very small business?

Thanks

ss.
