Where does Outlook track what it's downloaded?

I often copy my Outlook .pst file over to my laptop. The one problem is
that when I next open Outlook on the laptop, it insists on downloading every
message that is still on the server -- this takes extra time (it can be
hundreds of messages) and produces duplicate entries.

Does anyone know where Outlook keeps track of what it has downloaded? It
must be somewhere other than the .pst file, but I can't figure out where.

It is tracked in the PST file in an attachment on a hidden message, but the
attachment name will be different when you set up a new account to the same
server.
