Outlook Sync?

i use several computers that all have outlook on them and i want to have all of them synced (emails, contacts, calender, tasks) like so if i read something no one computer they all have them marked as read. i have a windows 2000 server in my network if that would help. i just hate having to make them all as read if i have already read them. also what is the exchange server and could it help me with this? thanks.

    If I'm understanding you correctly, your current PCs all have individual mail, I assume it's pop3 or something they're pulling the mail from?

    An Exchange server is a mail server, it would be possible for you to set up a central mailbox on it and then use Outlook on the various PCs as clients - this way the information would be the same across all the machines because any change you make on the mailbox is going to occur on the Exchange server mailbox rather than the local client PCs. This is a common setup for the workplace, I use many different PCs daily during my work day with my mailbox being on the Exchange server - no matter what machine I use, my inbox, calendar and tasks etc. are all the same.

    The scope of your question is very general, implementing an Exchange server is non-trivial obviously!
