First, review http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/sync.htm and
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/share.htm .

One way (and it's unsupported) is to create a network share, open a PST on
that share, and direct both instances of Outlook to that shared PST. While
it tends to work, you can have only one instance of Outlook accessing the
PST at any one time.

I use Briefcase and sync my notebook to that everytime I
use the notebook. The only problem is that whenever I
switch back and forth, I get duplicate e-mails that are
stored on the server (I save 3 days worth). I'd sure like
to know how to stop that.
