Please consider this situation:

1 - Outlook is installed on two boxes.

2 - Both talk to the same Outlook.pst file, which is not
in the default location on either box.

3 - Both pop3 from the same server.

4 - Both have option set that prevents deletion of the files
from the pop3 server on download.

Now:

a - Box 1 downloads some mail.

b - Box 1 knows what it downloaded, so it doesn't get the
same mail twice.

c - However, Box 2 doesn't know what Box 1 downloaded, so
I download the same mail twice.

The obvious question: How can I get Box 2 to not repeat
downloads without deleting mail from the pop3 server?

Thanks in advance,
Mike.
 
How are you accessing the POP3 server and from what version of Outlook? Are
you using profiles?

Access via cable, Outlook 2002 SP3. I don't know what profiles are
(in this context).

Mike.
