Managing E-mail Outlook 2003; from home, work, and mobile...

[Dano]

I am seeking some insight from a MS professional or someone with
similar experience re: the most optimal way to handle my home e-mail
(a comcast.net account) at home, work and on the road.

I run the various programs in the various situations;
Home: Windows XP SP2, with Outlook 2003 (the program that downloads e-
mail from comcast to my PC),
Work: Gmail (downloading comcast.net e-mails from that server--I hate
the comcast.net webmail, to my Gmail) that I review on an additional
work PC
Mobile: Sprint Treo 700wx with Windows Mobile (downloads Gmail, and
subsequently my comcast.net account, to my messaging folder on my
Treo). **Other than my home PC, I leave all messages on the
comcast.net server.

What I want to achieve with my HOME e-mail is similar to what I have
(in the past) experienced with my work e-mail; that being that whether
I am at home (sitting and using Outlook 2003 at my desk and Exchange
Server), logging in via Exchange Webmail on the road, and using
Windows mobile to see that same Exchange e-mails on my phone...in a
nut shell, I would like to delete, forward, or reply once to e-mails
instead of downloading to Gmail to view them at work, doing the same
thing on my Windows Mobile and then downloading them permanently on my
home PC and using the robust Outlook client to manage those e-mails.

Is this possible or do I have to have exchange? Have other users have
better experiences, better solutions or is there a magic bullet that I
am missing?

Was the above clear?

Appreciate the help. Thanks.

From what I've read, most people just use their mobile device as the conduit
between the home computer and the work computer. See if this article helps
to point you in the right direction:
