No really, not within outlook unless you use IMAP or Exchange server.

Thanks Diane, you confirmed what I suspected. I take it IMAP or Exchange
servers are for companies and not for home office use?

Exchange Servers, yes, IMAP servers, not really. Many ISPs offer IMAP
service in addition to POP3/SMTP; if your ISP has a webmail interface,
there's a good chance he has IMAP available, you might want to call and ask.
There is a way to do this after a fashion with a POP3 account. For received
email, set the POP3 service in both machines to "Leave a copy of messages on
the server". All email will then be available to both machines; set ONE of
the two (it doesn't matter which one) to "Remove from server after (xx)
day(s)" so mail doesn't pile up on your ISP's server. Sent emails are
another story, As Diane has pointed out, these will have synced:
