Mobile Outlook

[flibylemsip]

Hi all,

Forgive a probably newbie question but I'd appreciate any help you can give me.

I'm self employed and I get a lot of my work via email. I use Outlook on my laptop. I have, up til now, got email on my Nokia E51 when out and about to read/reply to then when I get home I fire up the lappy - I get the same emails again - annoying but not too much of a problem.

I have now been looking into getting a windows mobile phone with Outlook so I can get the emails on the mobile read/reply on Outlook and sync it with the lappy when I get back. I'm sure it's possible but I've no idea how! I've had no joy in mobile providers (I've tried t-mobile and vodafone) telling me how it's done.

I've had a hunt on the internet and Microsoft Exchange comes up time and again but it seems to be for bigger businesses rather than a sole trader. I don't need to sync calendars with employees - I haven't got any!!

So my question is - can I do on a mobile phone what I do with laptop i.e. download emails to Outlook directly??

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks

Carol

I Dont think you can sync with outlook express.

However you can leave messages on the server to be downloaded when you get home so you'll receive the message on both devices How to Set Outlook Express To Leave Email Messages On The Server (with pictures) - wikiHow

Hi

Many thanks for your reply but I do not use Outlook Express I use the Outlook within MS Office but I will try it anyway as it may work for Outlook too.

Thanks again

As long as your email provider uses pop3 protocol (they most likely will) it will work - no problem.
