Hey Dudley,

It is possible to get your outlook sync. If you are using an email like gmail, hotmail, yahoo mail and the likes then its not going  to be easy to setup. But if you want to host your own email then you'll need to get your computer connect into your own server. 

That would be more complicated. I'm assuming your email is not hosted by you so my answer to your question is what I stated on the top of my post.

Thank you,

Kramer

Hello,

You can sync MS Outlook between two computers by downloading and install an Outlook sync software on the web. You can download these for free or in paid versions. There are many varieties of this software. Some of them are Sync Home Edition, SynchPst Basic, Sync2, Easy Sync for Outlook, etc. Save the file in an easy accessible location like My Documents or Desktop and so on. Locate the file and run it when you're done. Wait until the process synchronizes all your selected Outlook files.

You can also sync your Outlook manually. All you have to do is:

– Use an .ost folder (offline)

– Copy a .pst folder (personal)

– Copy only your contacts, calendar and task folders

To automatically synchronize the Outlook data, use an .ost file. You must already have the .ost file to use it. The .ost file must have automatically been created in your account if you are using Microsoft Exchange Server. The file is commonly located in the path Documents and Settings/usernameLocal SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftOutlook folder. You need to access the .ost file and click on the "Synchronize" button to sync and update the Outlook data between two computers.

Fantastic solution guys, thanks for all your help. Babb Samantha, you have a superb solution. I learned how to synchronize Outlook on my two PCs from reading your post. Your POP and IMAP idea is new one to me, and with your help, I was able to understand it.

Now that I know how to enable IMAP on Gmail, I realize that it will be suitable for my desired goals because it allows me to access my mail from multiple devices. Following your directions, I was able to set it up with no problems, and I can synchronize Outlook on both of my computers. Thanks once more for helping, my friend.
