Default Running Outlook on a Network


I have two machines running XP SPII networked. I have setup one
machine as the host. His has all the disk space. The other machine
just accesses the files on the host.
My question is. How can I setup Outlook on the remote machine to
access the files on the host machine?
Everything else is running the way I want it to except this one aspect
For example My Documents point to the host machine.

Thanks
Bob.........

Outlook won't work this way. Both computers need to have their own
installations of Outlook. If you want to both be able to see identical
emails, use the option to leave the emails on the mail server. Just
don't forget to delete them occasionally.

If you want to share calendars, then ask how to do this in an Outlook
newsgroup such as microsoft.public.outlook.general.
