Synchronizing Outlook 2010 on desktop and laptop
When I go away I have been in the habit of copying my Outlook.pst file
from the desktop to the laptop and then back again on my return. Only one computer is in use at any one time. This has worked well for me for many years and I have never lost a message. Since upgrading to Outlook 2010 I have had problems. Both the desktop and laptop have Outlook 2010 installed with the same accounts and profile and idnetical settings except on the laptop I have Outlook set to Download Headers only for messages larger than 100Kb, leaving the message on the server. This is because I can often only get dialup speeds on my laptop's mobile internet link. When the message is larger than 100Kb it always shows twice on the laptop. I don't know why but it has never been a problem. Usually when I get home I synchronize the .pst files and on my desktop the full message is then downloaded. Since installing Outlook 2010 I get a message telling me that "Some of the selected headers were downloaded from an E-mail account that doesn't exist on this computer" It gives me two options - to keep or remove the headers. I select "keep". The message body does not get downloaded on to the PC but it does immediately get deleted from the (web) server so I end up with just the headers and not the message body. What has changed in Outlook 2010 to make this happen? I am confused as I have changed nothing in the way I operate the programme. I have never felt the need of using a commercial synchronization programme. There must be many people who, like me, want to use just one .pst file on more than one computer but only on one at a time. Is there a better way than just synchronizing the .pst files or does Outlook 2010 require files other than the .pst file to be synchronized as well? |
