I am running Outlook 2000 SP3, under Windows XP Pro, and would like to be able to access my mail from my other computer. I am not running Microsoft Exchange Server. Is there an easy way to do this???
 
I would think this would work...... I'm assuming you've got Outlook
installed on both your laptop and your other computer.

Turn on file sharing on the computer with the Outlook .pst file you want to
access. From your laptop connect to that network share. Lets assume you
call it the N:\ drive. On your laptop in your Outlook profile add the .pst
file with the path N:\..path..\filename.pst.

The only issue is that you'll be able to open that file only if its closed
on the other computer.

Remote desktop if both are running winxp. if not, then VNC. Sharing a pst
over a network is not recommended and can lead to corruption.
