Is it possible to synchronise your emails in Outlook Express (or Outlook 2000) on 2 different PCs?
Say one PC got yesterdays emails and one got todays and I want to have all messages on both PCs.

You can leave the mail on the server for a few days. To do this in OE go to Tools>Accounts>Mail highlight the account then select properties>Advanced then check "Leave mail on server" and choose how many days, I leave mine on the server for a week just in case something happens.

I know that but it will not work if your emails are not on the server anymore.
(And I have right now 3 months of emails on my one computer that I will want to get on the other when I get home.)
Are you sure there is nothing like that build into Outlook Express or Outlook 2000?

I don't believe Outlook Express has anything like that. Another way of doing it however would be to either (1) use the Import feature or (2) if it's version 5.x of OE you could just share the Message Store folder between the two clients, although I doubt they could both be open at the same time...I've never tried it.

Are these two computers networked with each other?
