Using multiple instances of Outlook
Hi
I'm in the process of migrating to Windows 7, but I still use Vista from time to time just to make sure I don't loose anything. Don't want to upgrade my current Vista to Win7 because there is too much junk and I want a clean installation. So I have Windows Vista and Windows 7 loaded with Outlook installed on both of them. They both point to the same pst file. Email accounts are configured to leave the messages on the pop3 server for 2 days as I travel with my laptop and still need access to latest incoming emails. Anyway, the problem that I have is if I'm working in Vista and Outlook has downloaded all the latest messages, if I go into Windows 7, Outlook downloads all those messages again, causing duplicates in my mailbox. Is there any way to prevent this or to let Outlook recognize that those messages are already downloaded?

No, that is not possible unless you move the already downloaded items to
another folder on the POP3 server since the other Outlook is not aware what has been downloaded already by another instance. FWIW; support for this is planned to be added to Outlook 2010. -- Robert Sparnaaij [MVP-Outlook] Coauthor, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.howto-outlook.com/ Outlook FAQ, HowTo, Downloads, Add-Ins and more http://www.msoutlook.info/ Real World Questions, Real World Answers ----- "WilliamVL" wrote in message ...
