Synchronizing E-Mail on Multiple Computers

by dleaoh Feb 8, 2010 12:10AM PST

Is there a way to receive and synchronize e-mail on multiple computers without going through an exchange server? I regularly use three machines: a desktop, a notebook, and a "netbook." When my e-mail was routed through an exchange server I could log on from any computer and all messages would be accessible. Now I don't have that luxury and am using only the notebook for e-mail to avoid having messages spread over three machines. I'm using Outlook 2007 as the e-mail program. The OS is windows 7. Outlook 2007 is available on the other machines, which are running XP.

That's what they invented "webmail" for (like gmail and hotmail). Storage in the "cloud". Accessible anywhere.

Nice for private use. For businesses consider a paid account somewhere with ample storage and an accessible customer service. Hosted Exchange is a good option, for example.
