I run a PC and two laptops with Outlook 2003 on a wireless network which had
seperate Outlook files on their individual HDDs. I use POP3 mail accounts
downloading the mail into my Inbox. I have recently added a NASD Network
drive connected direct to the router accessible from all PCs (drive F, and
created a common Outlook file on that drive (F so that whichever PC
downloads new mail I get the same view whichever PC I next use. First
problem, a common Outlook file, solved.

My problem is how to mirror the centralised Outlook file on one of the
laptops so that when I go away I have a) a copy of the outlook file on that
laptop's HDD and b) when I download new mail onto that laptop whilst I am
away e.g. on business or holiday I can update the common outlook file on the
Network drive with the changes when I next reconnect to the network.

I believe you need Exchange Server to set up an ost.
MS does not support use of a pst over a network, as it can lead to
corruption - so ensure you have backups

OST File Use in Outlook application is the excellent solution for all users and
easily handles by a user to convert OST 2 PST. OST File Use in Outlook restores
Original formatting of HTML (hyper text markup language) and RTF (rich text file)
Format.
