One of the guys here at work has just bought a notebook with Vista Home Premium and wants to be able to sync his Windows Mail with the Outlook on his PC. I see there are some shareware tools available (not sure of how well they work) and I know he can do PST imports and exports, but is there a simple solution?

They're going to investigate IMAP and how Paradise offers it tonight. Basically, it looks like he and his missus will need to decide whether they stay on one Windows account and one email account between them, or not. Either way, they're getting some options.

Cheers for that Tony
(nice number of friends btw, are we trying to catch up to our BDFL?)

Dylan is cheating... (Mauricios new name according to HelloMoto) - his count is coded to be a random percentage higher than the highest genuine figure.... or so I heard...

Lots of cheap webhosts around - basically all offering IMAP. Im with Dreamhost, got some nice features on email accounts.
