Outlook and iphone

    I recently asked a question about syncing Outlook with the iphone using an app and I've learned that it's much easier than that. Now I'm wondering if you can sync outlook and an iphone with more than one computer.
    Basically I have an old pc that I keep my music on (13G or so) and use a laptop (again old but does what I need) for work which has a small, 60G, hard drive. So to keep things simple I was hoping to put my music on a 32G iphone and sync Outlook on the lap top. So will there be any problems connecting the phone to 2 computers when trying to update.

    What email service provider do you use?

    The outlook email comes via a company web site, so I imagine the provider would be whatever host company is being used, so it can't be changed to something else. Is there anything else I can check to clarify this?

    You should check to see if they offer IMAP as opposed to POP. IMAP will allow you to keep your email folders synced wirelessly of over the internet, although it doesn't sync contacts.

    I think so, this thread on the apple support forums might help.

    Thanks for that, it seems like it's no problem at all.
