I apologize for what is probably an obvious question....

I access the same pop3 email account via outlook 2003 from two different machines for school. Will plaxo allow syncing the two computers such that changes I make in outlook (moving messages to folders, calender appointments, contacts etc) will be keep in sync between the two machines? For work I used a MS exchange server account and really liked how it worked. I'm hoping to find a way to gain similar functionality but am stuck with a pop3 account (no imap option) at present.

Both machines run XP Pro if its of any consequence.

thanks,

Josh, a current unsynced student:)

Hi, Josh - Plaxo currently only syncs contacts, calendar, task, and notes items, not e-mail. So it sounds like Plaxo will work pretty well for your setup for those item types, but it won't synchronize your e-mail items.

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a shot. Do you see any problem with using Plaxo to sync everything but e-mail, then routing the email though an imap server?

thanks very much,

josh

Yeah, I don't see any problem with trying it the way you describe.
