How can I access my outlook account from several computers?

[Smeds]

Here's my problem:

I have a MS outlook account via a server based network. My inbox contained
about 50 emails and a few folders of additional emails.

I connected to the network from home and created an outlook account (again
MS exchange) with the same user name. All my emails in the inbox appeared but
no folders were copies (OK for me). On returning to my work PC the inbox was
now empty except for the folders and I could not get a copy of the emails
back.

New emails come into my work inbox, but as soon as I log on at home they are
copied there and deleted from the inbox at work.

How can I see emails both at home and work on these 2 PCs? Not so bothered
about folders in my inbox and sent messages but synchronizing these too would
be an added bonus.

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

That's because at home you have your delivery location set to the PST you
created there instead of selecting the Exchange mailbox. When you get back
home, fix the delivery location (bottom left of Tools>E-mail Accounts>Next),
then move the items in the PST folders back to the Exchange server. You'll
then be able to see all the items both at work and at home.

Any PSTs you have defined at work will, of course, be unviewable at home,
but if there is data in your PSTs you want visible from home, move the
folder from the PST to the Exchange server.

Many thanks for your help.

As you correctly pointed out my PST at home was pointing to a personal
folder not to the mailbox with my account ID. However I could not get this
folder to open to move the contents.

I brought the home computer into work this morning and I could perform the
operation without problem and can now see everything on all PCs - problem
solved (hopefully)! Perhaps the network is not quite correctly configured for
my home PC - I am investigating this.

Thanks again
