Outlook question

[pagjsp]

The CEO has a Dell laptop with a dual boot XP/Win 2000 configuration, with Outlook 2003 on the XP side and Outlook 2000 on the Win 2000 side, and wants to be able to look at the Outlook 2003 emails when booted up on Win 2000. Does anybody know the best way to do this, or where Outlook 2003 actually stores the emails on the pc, and if the Outlook 2003/Outlook 2000 emails are compatible with each other?

Thanks

The best way is to do it once i.e. XP only and tell him to stop being an "Exec"

But I would just configure two separate mail stores for him, and make him aware that he would need to syncronise both before going offsite.

I don't have any dual boots so this is a theory only. Say;

XP=c:
2k=d:

Create a new partition on e: create a .pst / .ost on the e:\ and see what happens when you connect to it via 2003 then 2000. Can you post back the results for reference?

Thx,

We've already partitioned the drive -XP is on drive C: and Win 2000 is on drive E: - so what you're saying is to create a new .pst and sync either Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2000 (or both) with that. Would you create the new .pst in Outlook 2003 or Outlook 2000? Also, is the .pst where both of these versions store the actual emails?
