| I've tried something similar and haven't had any luck. My folder is on an exchange titanium server and I have Outlook 11 on a laptop & work machine. I installed NewsGator on the laptop, pointed NewsGator to the same exchange folder and told it to get the articles. It didn't treat any of the duplicate articles as old - but fetched them all as new.

You're seeing expected behavior here...we don't have duplicate article synchronization between multiple machines.
For now, the best way to accomplish what you're looking for would be to leave Outlook running on your desktop, which will periodically put new posts into the Exchange folder...and then don't retrieve news from your laptop (in fact, unless you want the NewsPage or posting capability, you don't need NewsGator running on your laptop at all).

| Ok - I thought that you determined dups with a hash of the URL, subject, and something else... The reason I have NewsGator running on both machines is that a 'feature' of our network security will cause a login prompt to pop up ocasionally. *sigh*

| You're correct, we do determine dupes with the title/link/description (or guid, if present) - but the posts in Outlook aren't what's compared against; we look in the NewsGatorSubs.opml file for cached hashes to compare against.

| So - could I just copy that file? - or better yet, is the location of the file set in the registry somewhere that I can put it in a shared location? Any chance inthe future that we could store that information in exchange like attach the GUID to a custom field in the posting? I suspect there is more information than that in this file though.

You could indeed copy the file between machines - that should work fine.
We may end up storing more information with the posts, do more easily accomodate features like this and duplicate post handling; the downside is performance issues retrieving items from the store.

| I'd like to do this too. One workaround for the time being would be if there were a way to display the publication date of individual items. That way, if I've read some stuff at home, when I get to the office and the same posts load, I could quickly delete all those posted before a certain time and know I hadn't missed anything. However, the only way I see to do this in Outlook is by "publication date," and that doesn't seem to be the right information. I know I'm seeing stuff at the office marked as just published that I already saw at hom earlier.

Robin,
The "Received" column (the default date column in Outlook) is actually the date the item was published, IF that information is provided in the feed. If no date/time information is provided in the feed for the items, then the current date/time is used, since we don't have any better inforamtion.
So what you're talking about will work fine for some feeds (my weblog feed, for example, at http://www.rassoc.com/gregr/weblog/rss.aspx will work fine), but not other feeds that don't contain date/time info.

| What I meant was the "created" field in Outlook - not "publication date," which isn't a built-in field.
