    I have my MS Outlook set up on my desktop for my email accounts. I would like my laptop's outlook to be able to contain or synch the same info. The real goal is to be able to read my email and have one computer or the other know that i have read the email. Is this easy to do? Right now I am using a remote program to go into my desktop to read my mail.

    Does the program ViceVersa do the trick? What about outlook Netfolders? Any advice for me?

    Well, if you have a POP account on one or the other, it will download the email to that machine. Then you won't be able to go on the other and re-download it. The only way would be to set up an IMAP on one so that the email stays on the server and gets downloaded on the other.

    I've never had to deal with this where I'd need them synched, so I am not familiar with those programs.
