How can I view/share my Outlook folders from more than one computer
on my home network? Basically, I'd like to be able to operate my
email from more than one computer.
With Outlook closed on all computers, create a network share on one of them.
On that PC, move your PST to the network share. Start Outlook. WHen it
complains it can't find the folders, browse to the network share, select
your PST and click OK. Now that Outlook will see all your folders again.
Close that Outlook.
On a second PC, rename the PST and start Outlook. When it complains, browse
to the network share, select the PST in it, and click OK. Now that Outlook
will see the same folders the first one does. You can open the old PST with
FIle>Open>Outlook Data File on the second PC and move into the common PST
everything that was local to the PC so that both PCs can see it. All done.
Note that you cannot have Outlook running on more than one computer at a
time and that PSTs on network shares are not supported and have been known
to corrupt the PST so make backups often (with Outlook closed everywhere,
copy the PST to another folder for safekeeping).
