smmonla Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Hi all, On my hard drive I have on partition for XP, one for mac and one shared fat32. I have my outlook pst on the shared partition. I there a software that i can use on mac to share the same pst? I looked on the net about outlook for mac, but i think it does not use a pst. Any ideas. thanks a lot for the help Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45135-share-same-pst-between-xp-and-mac/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
munky Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 is this just for email? i'd strongly recommend you switch to using IMAP (instead of POP3) email instead of going down this route. IMAP stores all the messages on the server. I use IMAP and can access my mail from home, work, on the road, on my phone. if i delete a message on one device, it disappears on all devices. this is not synchronisation, this is simple client-server technology. check it out !

abcslayer Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 As far as I know there are mailbox converter. Not something that help you use the same data file with two different programs (in different OSes). Maybe you make script to export data at shutdown and import in startup?

hecker Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 (edited) I recommend thunderbird. There is a portable version you can use that will run with both OSX and windows, sharing the same files. You can even carry it around, since it's portable Portable version of thunderbird for OSX + Win, here: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/thunderbird_portable Smart-Spam filtering, better safety and viewing complete msg sources plus it's hybrid functions are some of things that make the thunderbird mail client seem like a giant compared to the weak Outook client. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed, hecker Edited March 13, 2007 by hecker Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45135-share-same-pst-between-xp-and-mac/#findComment-322525 Share on other sites More sharing options...
