how do I read emails in my briefcase

[Guest]

I have Microsoft Outlook on my PC and laptop. In my briefcase on the laptop I
have copied the Outlook folder from the PC. I now want to read the emails
from the PC on the laptop.

What Outlook folder? The Program Files one? That is not the folder you need.
You'll need a single pst-file.

Thanks for you reply.
No not the Program files one. The outlook folder I refer to is in My
Documents it contains two files, mail.pab and outlook.pst. The pst file is
where my PC emails are stored.

You can connect to the pst-file by File-> Open-> Outlook Data File...
Do you have a special reason to use a pab-file? Pab support is only for
backward compatibility. You really should consider importing these into your
Contacts folder.
