Outlook 2000 not sync-ing with Outlook Express 6

I have just installed Outlook Express 6 on my laptop...but for some reason it
is not sync-ing with my Outlook 2000 running at my office. Emails are not
showing up on my laptop if already displayed (not necessarily opened) and
vice versa.

For example, I now have (2) New/Unread in my inbox email on Outlook 2000
that there's no corresponding new emails since it was already displayed on my
laptop via Outlook Express 6. How do I remedy this out of sync problem?
 
What do you mean? Outlook Express has nothing to do with Outlook. They would
never "sync."
 
Thank you for replying. I'm sorry for the confusion...I guessed I used the
wrong terminology.

When I created my email accounts with Outlook Express, it automatically took
all of my "folders" created on Outlook 2000 at work...if one has nothing to
do with the other, then how does it know to copy my folders set up?

My problem is that once the email is received in my Inbox on Outlook 2000
(new, and still unopened in my Inbox) at work it will not display these same
new emails when I open Outlook Express 6 on my laptop?

You are mistaken. When you set up Outlook Express, it would not and could
not take anything from Outlook 2000 at work. What you actually did is
anyone's guess, but OE could do no such thing automatically. Perhaps you set
each program up to use the same email account. Is that what you're trying to
say?

Well, yes, I'm trying to read the same email accounts! And YES, it
automatically set up all my FOLDERS (mind you, these are imap accounts I'm
talking about, for example, I have different category folders set up within
the Saved folder for each of my email accounts). And these same folders were
automatically set up when I created each email accounts via OE6 on my laptop
(same accounts as on my Outlook 2000 at work) - I did not set them up
myself...only once when I created them in the original Outlook at work! It
automatically duplicated all my folders when OE email accounts were set up.

Does that help you to help me?? :)

So can you answer why my emails received are not the same whether viewing
via OE6 or Outlook itself? Once the new emails come into my Outlook, it will
not show again on my OE on laptop - even if I never even opened the email to
read - so it should be in my NEW INBOX...but it's not...
UGH!

No. Not at all. You are asking about Outlook Express and how it supports
IMAP. This has nothing to do with Outlook and this is an Outlook group.
For Outlook Express (OE) support try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.inetexplorer.ie4.outlookexpress for OE 4.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...express&SLCID=US&sd=GN&id=fh;en-us;newsgroups
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...express&SLCID=US&sd=GN&id=fh;en-us;newsgroups
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...express&SLCID=US&sd=GN&id=fh;en-us;newsgroups
microsoft.public.internet.mail.mac for the Macintosh version of OE
http://support.microsoft.com/newsgr...ess.mac&SLCID=US&sd=GN&id=fh;en-us;newsgroups

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:

My first impression is that you're using IMAP to access the mailbox in one
app and POP to access it in the other. If so, the POP accunt is downloading
and deleting the messages, thus removing it so the IMAP-connected app can't
see it.
 
He might also have Exchange Server at work with Outlook 2000 set to deliver
to a Personal Folder. OE would pick up the Exchange mailbox folder
structure, but show only those messages not yet delivered to the .PST.

Not sure what you're theorizing here since OE cannot connect to Exchange
Server.
