I'd like to rejig my home network a bit... we currently have a desktop PC and sundry wifi-linked laptops amongst other things, and the vast majority of our data files reside on the desktop PC, along with Outlook
2003 which is used for SWMBO's and my email (we have a single Outlook setup which links to several email servers; with the whole lot working from a single .pst file).What I would like to achieve is essentially to use all the PCs more or less like terminals, and have a central NAS for all data files, including email; so that either SWMBO or myself could log on to any PC and access 'live' Outlook (currently we can only use that on the desktop PC). Would it be feasible/realistic/safe/sensible to set up my envisaged system with the .pst file saved on the NAS - then would whoever opens Outlook first on whichever computer has access rights to the .pst file?
Even if it worked (would it?) it's no doubt a very dinosaurish way to do it - I'm sure a fully web-based email system would be better; however I do like the current PC-based Outlook, not least because I have all my email archive saved on a local machine, under my control. And it works...
Thanks David
