if you set outlook to leave emails on the server then your inbox should be the same, but your isp will have a limit on the amount that can be kept on the server.

So there's no way of 'copying' the emails from one system to another? like you can sync your PDA or mobile with Outlook's organiser function?

It'd be clunky but you could probably just archive all your emails each time and copy the .pst file and.pab file between machines with a usb stick.

Yeh, that might be an idea.. I'll keep scouting though...

Where can I change the 'download from server' option to leave the messages on the server?

Tools>account settings>select the email account> more settings> advanced tab.

Though I'm using the Outlook 2007 beta, so it's probably in a silghtly different spot

Get Lotus Notes and just run two local replicants - one on each machine.

If you want the e-mail to come to your main computer but still want to access it from a laptop (or anywhere else in the world) you are better off to use your webmail feature which most ISPs have. That way, all mail is still on the server to download to your main computer when you open it's Outlook.
