    Can Live Mesh sync my work machine that runs Outlook 2003 on XP to my home computer that runs Outlook 2007 on Vista?

    No, you cannot use Live Mesh to keep the Outlook message store in sync. The .pst file is always changing and can be quite large, so it is excluded from being able to be part of a Mesh.
    This has been requested in the Wish List thread, though.
    I would imagine that a 3rd party developer may be able to create an application that will do this *using* the platform of Live Mesh, not the sync part that we currently use in the preview, which lives on the platform of Live Mesh.

    In case it makes a difference, the email account is POP3.
