I normally do my emails on my PC. I'll be out of town for a week this
summer and will need to do emails on the laptop. Besides configuring my
email accounts, will all I need to do is copy the pst file over to the
laptop and then back again when I get home?

I have WinXP Pro on the PC and WinXP Home on the laptop. I'm using
Outlook 2002. I have a home network which both the PC and laptop are on.

Is there any way to sync the two Outlooks, where if I did email on both
of them, I could combine one into another?

Andreas,

Thanks for the link, however, it covers Exchange Server (which I'm not
using), Net Folders for Win98 and Win2K and Windows Briefcase, not part
of XP. The other topic "Managing a PST for Two Different Computers" is
for Outlook 97.

Again, I have Outlook 2002 (XP) on Windows XP. Any other ideas?

However, since Outlook 97 and Outlook 2002 both use the same format PST, I
would think the article still applies.

Then why wouldn't MS update the KB? Again, this article mentioned
Exchange Server and Briefcase, also just copying the pst file from one
computer to another.

So I guess the bottom line is - there's no way to sync two pst files?
I'll just have to wait until the very last minute, transfer the pst
file from the PC to the laptop and then as soon as I get home, before
downloading any email, move it back from the laptop to the PC?

Well, I use my iPAQ to synch two PSTs, one at home and one at work. Many
people where I work also just use their laptops as their only machine,
synching to Exchange while on line and using Outlook in offline mode while
traveling. If they need to synch while traveling, they connect to our
internal network via VPN.

Sigh. No iPAQ (have Palm) and no Exchange Server since there's no work
network (just the home network between two computers and a laptop).
Well, there is, but it's webmail that I download to work on at home....

Guess I should have said "no sync without Exchange"

At least I have the network to move the quite large pst file between
the two computers.
