RE: Outlook

According to this FAQ, yes. You just have to make sure that you don't run
the copies at the same time.

RE: Outlook

I tried this and it didn't work very well for me. My Outlook gets very slow
very quickly and usually required I erase the user profile and replace with a
new profile every 6 months or so to "keep it fresh". I use a program called
SynchPst (http://www.synchpst.com/). It's a little pricey, but it works
well.

Though this is tangential, I actually am trying to move away from Outlook.
Though Outlook has many great features, it seems to be a behemoth of a
program. I have moved my calendaring to Google Calendar and my tasks to
Toodledo. Both work reasonably well with each other as well as with
Thunderbird (with Lightining installed). TB is still not as mature as I
would like, but it is getting close.

How'd it go? I read the other post but I was wondering if another user can
post to either confirm or counter that information. I've been looking for
this for a long time. Right now I'm using Goosync to sync calendar,
contacts and hopefully soon tasks. But it is problematic as it doesn't seem
to be syncing my contacts too well.

If you like Outlook, but want to be able to use it on multiple
desktops/laptops/devices without the massive kludge that is moving the PST
around....get a hosted Exchange account. For around $10 a month, you can get
functionality that will have you kicking yourself for not switching to it
sooner. ;-)

Check out www.4smartphone.com or www.sherweb.com for a place to start...

Re: Outlook

Actually just use Plaxo. It is free (www.plaxo.com). Works great and it
syncs the PIM data. Even works with google caledar <--> outlook!

Re: Outlook

There is another solution called Syncing.NET. It costs a bit, but I have
been using it for a few years to sync my outlook data between my home
computer and laptop via FolderShare. Take a look at

Re: Outlook

by using OsaSync (www.vaita.com) foldershare is not needed. Syncs local and
remote machines.
