MSO Outlook: Copy PST file to 2nd PC, downloads the old emails again
I have desktop & laptop PCs. Both run Win10 PRO and Office 365.
The desktop is my "master" PC, the laptop a "slave" when away from home, on holiday, etc. I sync the files on my laptop with those on the desktop.
The desktop holds in Outlook's .PST files all my emails downloaded and filed away into appropriate folders, keeping my Inbox to a minimum. I have the option set to keep the emails on the server, this also means I can access them from my phone.
If I copy the Outlook's .PST files from desktop to laptop and then run Outlook on the laptop, all the old emails are downloaded again creating duplicates.
It seems that the knowledge that the emails have been downloaded is not being transferred with the .PST file.
Is there any way to stop this 2nd downloading?
