Create a Personal Folders file on a drive/share that all 3 computer have
access to. This PST file can be opened via the File > Open > Outlook data
file on each machine. Now for the bad news, Outlook opens the file for
exclusive access. Therefore when Machine A has Outlook running, Machines
B/C cannot open/work with this shared personal folders file.

By the way, there are 3rd party solutions that let multiple machines share
the same PST file. (e.g. 4Team, Workgroup Folders)

Also be aware that in regard to neo's reply, Microsoft does NOT support pst
files on a network drive - so if your data goes belly up, you're on your
own!
 
Hi David,

In the recent past I have used ShareO from 4Team Corporation. Using it
I was able to share my

Outlook data with my coworkers. It quite easy to use and it has
automatic update feature so I was

quite satisfied. You can download it from http://shareo.4team.biz/?pcode=610190201v4rqia
Or just google Outlook data sharing and look for the tools yourself.
There are lots of them.

Mindoza.
