Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Mail / May 2008Synchronize Windows Mail
Hi I have a laptop and a desktop connected to a home network. I have the same mail accounts on both computers. Incoming mail is not a problem, both computers receive the same mail. But I want my SENT mail to appear on both computers. How can I synchronize so both sent and received mail are the same on both computers? Thanks Syncing sent mail is not possible with a standard POP account. It can be done with an IMAP account (Gmail, AOL) or a HTTP account (Hotmail with WLM).

That way you would get a copy on the other PC when you download email.

This is a reason why IMAP is gaining popularity since the emails messages are stored on the server and not locally in the POP client. Yes, it's a limitation of the POP protocol. That protocol is fairly old, and it doesn't have all the features that the newer protocols have. OTOH, that's also what makes it snappy.
