Some time ago I tried setting up Gmail to work with IMAP and my installed copies
of Outlook 2003 on the PCs at home. I was hoping that whatever PC we jumped onto
and logged into that we'd be able to see our email as if we were viewing them on
the one computer. Much like if you had Exchange Server set up.

Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work properly, ie. synchronising email
folders, or having email from various email accounts all going through Gmail.

I was wondering if there is any solution out there that I could try. Short of
purchasing Exchange and then trying to learn how to drive it, is there an easier
way of centralising emails, saved emails, Outlook folders and the like?
