synchronizing Outlook clients

[inspired]

I have a desktop PC and a laptop on my home wireless router/DSL
gateway. I tap into my Yahoo Verizon email using Outlook on both of
them,
depending on what is most convenient at the time.

Question: Is there any easy way to "synchronize" my mail on these two
machines, so that what I
see at both machines is the same?

For example, if I mark a message as read or delete it on one PC, I
would like to see the same thing on the other.

Ideally, I also would like to see the same email folders on the two
machines.

The email server (Yahoo/Verizon) uses POP3 protocol.

Thanks

Your best bet would probably be to use IMAP instead of POP3 - assuming
Yahoo/Verizon supports that.
