That list is garbage. Isn't there anything new in 2k7 to make this easier?

If I isntalled Exchange server just to sync this stuff will I still be able
to add pop3 & Imap4 accounts or does it put it in a mode where you can only
have one exchange account?

Thanks for any tips.

I'm under the impression from other messages in this group that OL2007 does
have some increased sharing capability, but not synching ability. There are
MVPs here who are more faliliar with that version and will probably respond.

One Exchange account and multiple IMAP and POP accounts. That's been true
since Outlook 2002.

Hi Bob,

thank you for the compliment. Also our software is in the list of "garbage"
and also Microsoft published a lot of this tools on this websites:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ma...719621033.aspx

What is the best way to keep the calandar and contacts on these 3 computers
synchronized?

You asked for a synchronization software. I would share your Outlook in your
local network and I only would sync the Notebook for an offline access.

Sharing solutions are on this "garbage" site:
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/share.htm

and there are also some tools on the Office Marketplace site.

If I isntalled Exchange server just to sync this stuff

Exchange share this stuff and synchronize only if you activate the "Cache
mode", but I think you will now how to configure an Exchange server.

Sorry I didn't mean the software was "garbage" I meant that it doesn't make
sense that synchronizing two outlook clients would require extra software.
I would think this is something that would be included in any contact manger
/ calendaring application as a requirement.

In addition most 3rd party addons that I tried for outlook have caused it to
crash or just slow it down to a craw.
Outlook crashes and locks up on its own frequently enough I don't need to
add another layer to that madness.

Thanks for the suggestions.

You have already pinpointed the reason that the software has no builtin method for synching - it is the Outlook CLIENT, not a server. Servers synch, not clients. Right now, third party solutions such as those listed before are the only methods to sync the client without a server involved.

Hi Bob,

in addition to the posting of Milly, you can not compare a synchronization
of a mobile device (ActveSync) or a simple "file synchronization" on your
harddisk.

Have you ever seen a mobile device with 4 GB store?

PST means "Personal Store" and was developed as the "Personal Store" of a
local Outlook installation.

Most of the "SyncTools" open 2 or more PST files in one Outlook profile to
synchronize the PST files or they synchronize via email like netfolders. If
your PST file has 500 MB, you have to synchronize 500 MB if you use a
SyncTool.

Exchange don´t synchronize the information, it shares the information
central on a server.

What you ask for, is a shared (for the 3 PCs) AND synchronized Outlook
network (PC with the Notebook) without Exchange, and here you need a
sharing solution with a synchronization solution.

[....]
In addition most 3rd party addons that I tried for outlook have caused it
to crash or just slow it down to a craw.

I am sure, you didn´t try us. ;-)

Thanks for the info but I think you are wrong. Servers do not syncronize
they store data at a central location. Clients syncronize. They can sync
to a server or to each other. Goldmine, ACT, etc.. .all contact manager
clients all have syncronization built in to them.

It would make sense if I considered Outlook to be only an "Exchange client"
as opposed to an email client / contact manager. But since it comes with MS
Office and not exchange it would lead me to belive its more then just a
client to exchange.

The reason they don't have this feature is to encourage people to use
Exchange Server not because it doesn't belong there.

All though I didn't get the answer I wanted thank you for telling me what I
need to do to have it work they way I need want.

Oliver,

Thanks for the info. Which product of your would I need.

I only need contacts, tasks, and calandar items. I use IMAP as the mail
server so I don't need to sync any email messages.

I have a server that I can install a central store on. There has to be a
way to do this other then installing exchange.
