Answer» Hi All,
Need some assistance.
I’ve a Google mailbox that I synced with Outlook 2007. Everything seemed to work well till the time I synced it only with my office system. However, I also synced it with my HOME PC but never used it, but then when I did this weekend I only got emails on the one which was at home. These did not get downloaded on my office PC and I’m all lost.
I don’t really know how to deal with it, but as a precautionary measure would like to do away with the Outlook I synced on my home PC, so that I get all MAILS on my "ALL IMPORTANT" office PC.
Please advise. Apparently, you don't understand how email clients, i.e. email programs such as Outlook, work with POP3 email. And, I suspect you have no clue what I mean by POP3 email.
Since you want to receive all emails on your office computer, you need to set Outlook at home to "leave messages on the server". What is happening now is that when either of the two computers DOWNLOADS messages to Outlook, the messages are then deleted from the mail server and are no longer available on the Internet and are no longer downloadable to some other computer.
Alternatively, if you can access this email account via web browser, doing so at home would provide a way for you to view mail at home without interferring with the downloading of messages to Outlook on the office PC. But, of course, under the present scenario, this method of VIEWING mail will only show the mail not yet downloaded to Outlook on the office PC.
If you really want, and are authorized at the office, to change email account configuration, you could change from POP3 to IMAP mail. For a reference on IMAP vs. POP3, see http://www.upperhost.com/pop3imap.htm
