[OT] Syncing Outlook

Yahoo Archive
1
Thanks for the information everyone on syncing outlook between two computers. I see that my outlook.pst file is about 120MB. I found a shareware program on the internet (recommended by Microsoft) called "Outback Plus". With it you can backup and restore Outlook in one simple step. It not only backs up (and compresses - to 69MB in my case) the .pst file, but also any other settings, options, etc. in Outlook that you choose. It names the backup file by date/time if you prefer, and you can schedule it to work behind the scenes.

Double-click on a backup file to restore Outlook (on this computer or another computer).

There is no expiration on the shareware, and costs $30 to register it.

Troy, Mark has a good idea, if both computers have access to a network. If
not the export option is under File > Import Export.
Export to a file, you can select what portions to export. A PST would work.
Then import it.

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is an easy way to Sync Microsoft Outlook 2000 with the same version on a laptop? I currently use Outlook Express, but plan to migrate to Outlook 2000 in the near future for email, scheduling, and contacts. I use my laptop most of the week, then I use a desktop one to two days per week. I'd like to quickly update the desktop with all the current email, contacts, and Calendar/To'Do's once or twice a week. Is there a way to do this quickly and easily (like copying a file from one place to another?

Troy,
Are you using a Exchange server? If you are, Sychronizing is just a few
settings. If not you could export your information to a file and import to
the other PC.
Let me know if you need more details.

Nancy,
This would be stand-alone. We don't use Exchange Server (yet). What is the procedure to do this?

Make a copy of your PST file and copy to a file server then in mail
settings point your pst on both machines to that location.

I was told Outlook sends the whole PST file across the network. Is this
correct? If so, doesn't that slow down Outlook significantly if there are a
large number of email messages in your inbox? I'm not real sure how this
process actually works. I want to store the emails on the server too, but
am afraid of slowdowns and increased network traffic. Anybody have some
insight into this?

Thanks,
