Hi,

Yes, you cannot sync the Inbox with two computers like the other information
types you mentioned. Part of the reason for this is because the manner in
which Inbox synchronization happens. The Inbox folder sync's one-way (PC to
PPC) and similarly Outbox sync's one-way in the reverse direction (PPC to
PC). So based on this design it would be difficult to sync with two PCs and
have the data current on the device and the two PCs.
