Then you're not using an Exchange account, you're using a POP account. Change the configuration of Outlook 2000 to Corporate/Workgroup mode and create real Exchange accounts so that Outlook talks directly to the Exchange mailbox using MAPI prototcols.

for interoffice mail
and OWA when they are out of the office. I want to upgrade them to
Outlook 2003, but I don't know what protocol to use to set them up.

Use and Exchange account.

The way it is now, if they receive a message and use Outlook 2000 to
open it up, then they won't see it in OWA or vice versa.

Certainly not vice versa, since OWA does nothing to the mailbox. Everything in the mailbox remains in the mailbox. Since you're using a POP/SMTP account Outlook 2000, you probably have it configured to delete messages from the server when downloading them. On the Advanced tab of the account properties, enable the option to leave sopies on the server and that won't happen. Sent mail, however, will still be local to OL 2000 because POP/SMTP can't handle anything but Inbox.

Sending
messages in OWA can still be seen in Outlook 2000 (I guess because
it's using SMTP...I'm not sure). I want both of these interfaces to
reflect incoming/outgoing activity. How do I set this up?

Use Corporate/Workgroup mode and access the Exchange mailbox with an Exchange account.

If Outlook XP doesn't do it for you under Vista, you have a few options- obviously upgrading to Outlook 2003 or '07 would be the best, but most expensive option, so as an alternative, you could try a free Exchange account from mail2web.com- this syncs the contacts and calendar on your device with the mail2web server, and allows you to access it on a desktop or laptop with OWA, which is essentially a stripped down version of Outlook that "runs" in your browser. ... is there ANY way I can replace all of my LOVELY progs such as Netfront, Wififofum and other 'fiddle about with Axim' type stuff WITHOUT XP or activesync' as I've scoured the web and can find virtually nothing? ...
