Synchronize Outlook 2000

Hi Experts,

I am trying to understand the synchronize feature of Outlook. While at work I use the desktop installed version of Outlook 2000. While out of the office I use the Web access version of Outlook (Exchange). The problem is they are not synchronized. The web version will not contain e-mails that were already transferred to my desktop. Only new e-mails received will appear in the web version. Once I login at work using my desktop they are transferred and never to be seen again on the exchange server. I would like the exchange server to be an exact copy of my desktop inbox etc. Is this possible?

I hope I explained myself.

I looked all around at the setting but can't make any headway.

Hello jdolan2587,

In outlook you can set the inbox to leave a copy on the server

Your outlook on the desktop is configured for internet email. You need to reconfigure it for exchange. That way all mail items will get synchronised correctly. Ensure that this is supported first with your IT staff.
