Am running outlook 2003 on my workstation and laptop off of the institution
exchange server .... when i read my email on the workstation , the read
status doesn not appear or update on my laptop. or visa versa ... so i have
all the emails on both .. delete updates ... but if i read all the ones on my
workstation and then update folders on teh laptop, none of the emails on teh
laptop appear as read .. this is a real pain ... this used to work fine ...
dont know why it stopped working .. have not changed teh setup on either
system .. the workstation is new .. so i am not sure if this problem was
alwasy there on teh new workstation .... but it was not there on the old with
the current laptop. the only then new on teh laptop is i installed active
sync to sync my PDA (IPAQ 5540) the readstatus on the PDA is wrong too ....

appreciate you help

please reply to (e-mail address removed) ..... i dont use msn for my email..

are you downloading the items to the laptop or using the mailbox store? Are
you using cached mode on both?

THanks for the quick reply ...

I am not sure what "cashed mode" is. I have offline use set up for both
.... I only go offline on the workstation if the netwrok is down ... which is
almost never ... I have teh laptop online most of teh time too .. except when
i travel ...
