In my last job my e-mail was stored both on my laptop and the server. Synchronisation took place automatically every time I logged on to the server via the LAN. When using dial - up, synchronisation was set to "manual" due to the possibility of a very large download over a slow connection. This was using Windows NT (both server and client) and Outlook. As far as I know it was using the built in facilities of each.

I had to hack into it! Thx Philip! ------- This brings a good question to mind. My users are fairly well trained on putting their emails into PST, and rules etc. Problem being, a lot of fairly important emails end up in PST which isn't a problem for local users, I put the PST on user shares, and it ends up part of our backup cycle. The problem occurs with laptop users who work from home "networkless" on weekends, and in the evenings, who need access to their PST files offline, yah, I can move their PST back to their local PC, but then I lose the capability to backup that PST, and lost PST's can sometimes mean the end of the world for some of these people. Just kind of want to see what everyone else does about this situation. I have implemented the PST backup applet, but with users who have multiple PST's in the GIG range, this can be a lengthy process, and fairly bandwidth intensive. Thanks, Phillip B.

Robert Philip (IBM) -- that e-mail says "Can't open this item. Your Digital ID name cannot be found in the underlying security system" ... can you send a regular e-mail (anyone else having trouble opening this one)?
