So, I have an issue that I'm sure has been ran into before.
I have 5 email accounts, all IMAP/POP3, and I just got a laptop in addition to my computer.
Now, I'm not a Microsoft fanboy, but as far as I'm concerned, Outlook2003 is the best mail program I've ever used (when combined with Plaxo), and I'd really, really rather not switch away from it (as it handles my calendars, contacts and todo lists, as well).
However, I just got a laptop, and every time I launch Outlook on the laptop, the desktop (if it's running Outlook) gets the "IMAP connection reset" error, 5 times. I rarely shut Outlook for any reason, so I run into this a lot, and it's frustrating.
For a bit of time, I tried switching to POP3, but almost as bad as the errors was the hassle of creating rules on both computers to sort the mail, and having to mark each message as "Read" once on each computer.
Is there a good way keep all my email synchronized across all my computers? Without running into "Connection Reset" errors? While still holding onto Outlook?

I know that's asking a lot :)
Thanks!
