It will only work for newly received messages and not for the ones you have
already downloaded.

If that is not what you meant, you'll have to post some configuration
information for us to work with such as at least your version of Outlook,
type of mail account and what exactly you are trying to sync.

Many thanks for your reply. I followed the instructions
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/160 but unfortunately the emails are
not coming through, very strange, as all my contacts and calendar are
there.

Hi

Can anyone advise me how to set up my laptop to receive the emails that
I receive on my main computer. The laptop is linked up wireless to my
main computer. I also have a phone and the emails download to the phone
but not to the laptop.

Many thanks

Saxon
