Hi
Grateful for some guidance. I have a home network with a mix of a Win98SE
machine running Outlook 2000 and 3 XP machines running my 3 Education User
licences for Outlook 2003. I don't have anything like Exchange or other
internal mail server software running.
Between us, the family have a total of 9 POP3 accounts with various ISPs.
I would like to make it so that anyone can log on at any machine and get
their mail.
The questions:
1. Are their any issues associated with having .PST files opened by both
the 2000 and 2003 versions of Outlook?
2. Is there a simple way to share a .PST file so that one machine could
be left logged onto the internet to collect the mail and other machines then
share the .PST files to read it?
3. Having worked in corporate IT, I remember that there was once a scheme
that allowed me to buy licences for Word 97 but actually install Word 6 on
WFW3.11 machines until we managed to catch up on the upgrade programme. If
there is no way to share files between 2000 and 2003, does the Education
Licence for 2003 allow this "backwards compatibility"? i.e. Can I hold 3
licences for 2003 but actually install 2000 in its place?
Thanks in advance
