Our ISP at work is POP3 access only, offered through Yahoo Small Business. In
order to transfer my PST file from work to home, I copy the PST file on to a
large external hard drive on a weekly basis, which also contains other backup
information. This is a very simple process, and I've used this approach with
Outlook Express for the last few years. Is this a problem with Outlook
keeping the UIDL values in the registry rather than within the PST file?
My basic objective here is to be able to (i) use Outlook at work for all of
my email correspondence and (ii) be able to use Outlook at home to read
emails and respond from home for clients on the west coast. I also do some
work at home at night. With Outlook Express, I was able to do this, and then
freshen up my email folders at home with my work folders on a weekly basis.
I wasn't perfect, but worked reasonably well. Is their another approach that
I could use?
I'll try the steps tonight outlined in the two articles that you referenced.

I recently installed office 07 on a new computer at work, and is working
fine. I use office 03 at home. Prior to this installation, I used
Outlook
Express on both my work on home computers. I copied my personal(1).pst
file
from work on to an external hard drive, and then copied it to my home
computer and set it as the default PST. The emails intially looked fine,
but
then outlook downloaded my emails (that had already been received) from
the
last 2 weeks. I leave a copy of emails on our ISP server for 2 weeks. I
now
have multiple copies of emails in my inbox at home. How can I avoid the
duplicative downloading of email messages. I've updated all of my
software,
using Windows update. I want to be able to use Outlook at work and at
home
in order to check emails from either work or home, and then copy my PST
file
from work to the home computer weekly so that my PST are reasonably in
synch.
I have used this approach successfully for the last 3 years with Outlook
Express.
