What is the simplest way to keep all my information in my home PC's MS
Outlook (2002) when I spend lots of time away from it? (I'm on Unix and
Mac otherwise.)


I know there's Outlook Web Access, but I looked around on the Internet
and couldn't find whether I needed an Exchange Server to use it, and
whether it is free. If that isn't possible is there a Windows script
out there that can convert a tab-delimited text file into, say,
Calendar appointments? I'm sure it wouldn't be terribly hard to write
one, but I'd have to learn about the Outlook API first.

Best,

Rex

You do need Exchange and it's not free (it does come with Exchange, though).

With what mail client do you want to access your Outlook data when away from
the PC and in what formats can it import or export?
 
If your company uses Exchange as the mail server, then you can access
Outlook via OWA using any supported browser, supposing, of course, that your
company allows Outlook Web Access. Not all do nor do all allow for all
staff.
