Receiving Outlook messages on two computers

[yvberj]

I'm setting up a laptop and would like to receive mail on Outlook 2003 on
both my desktop at home and on the laptop while I'm away.
First, Can I do that?
Second, Would it be just a normal setup on the laptop, or is there something
special that has to be done.

Thanks,

Nothing special - when you set up the email account, under Advanced
Settings, you need to tell Outlook to keep a copy on the server.

Be sure to do it on both PCs. Also make sure one of the PCs has the option to
remove deleted messages from the server and to remove messages older than a
specified period of time. That will reduce the number of times you'll have to
log in via a web browser and clean up your mailbox.
