Outlook 2003 question
« on: March 03, 2011, 12:34:37 PM »
Maybe one of you techies know the answer to this one.

I am using outlook 2003 on 2 different computers to pull emails from the same gmail account.

The problem im having is that say i am on one computer and outlook downloads my emails. When i open outlook on the other computer, outlook wont download those same message. I have both computers set to leave the messages on the server and when i log into my gmail account, they are still there.
Anyone know how i can set my outlook to download emails that were already downloaded to my other computer? At this point, whichever computer grabs it first takes it and the other doesnt get it...

Thanks!

I had just found that same answer on a different site as you posted the link. It works!
over here i saw this as well which is likely important to someone else trying to do this:

"Now, if you use the same username for both incoming and outgoing servers, you may not be able to send after you enable recent mode, unless you specify the username separately for the outgoing server.  In OL2003, you do that with the "More Settings" button in the server settings.  Choose the "Outgoing server" tab and choose "Log on using", providing your username (without "recent:") and password."
