need advice on PIM

Hi everyone
I'm looking for a replacement for outlook on my desktop which woulld allow me to sync my emails, contacts, events etc with my xda 2.

ps: I must be able to sync my emails (located on the desktop) with my xda otherwise I might as well keep on using Lotus organizer.
Many thanks

if you want to use activesync then i think it's outlook only but there are others

What I need is an app that I can install on my desktop that can replace ms outlook 2000. I want the same functionality as outlook but don't want to use that particular ms product. I'm currently sync'ing my pda with lotus organizer which is a really good prog but unfortunately hasn't got an email client built in. What I need to be able to do is sync everything that I can currently sync with on lotus organizer but with the added functionality of sync'ing my emails also.

is there a program other than outlook that can handle cont

that can handle contacts?

do you mean
1 on the pda ?
2 on the pc
3 that can also sync with the pda
i think activesync only sync with outlook
but there are other sync programs which sync with
a great number of other mail programs and the likes

on the pc to edit the contacts.
what are these programs?

i think most mail programs have a kinda of contact
lotus notes, androa or what ever it's called
and windows have some program itself
it's just a matter of sync'ing between them and the pocketpc
try doing a search for them
or for intellisync or something like that

Can Wizard/PPC sync with Palm Desktop?

I am a former Palm user. For me, one of the best features of Palm was the simplicity of the desktop software. Now that I am on PPC, I don't want to give up simplicity of Palm desktop software. Plus I HATE using outlook.
Is it possible to sync a PPC with Palm desktop software?

i used to be a palm user since Palm III and really liked the palm desktop for its simplicity. now im using mda vario (my first ppc), i have no choice but to use outlook as my calendar program. first thing, i need to export my data to outlook, but dont want to convert it to text and manually adjust it for outlook during conversion. i used airset sync program (www.airset.com) to sync my palm to web-based, then web-based to outlook.
you can use this program to:
1st. sync palm desktop and web-based (airset)
2nd. sync web-based (airset) and outlook
3rd. sync outlook and handheld/pda/phone using activesync
there are some drawbacks. you might be iritated when sync'ing to both outlook and palm desktop because when you want to switch, you have to change the settings manually on the airset sync. im not sure if its possible to install a 2nd copy of airset sync so you can just use the 2 airset sync for both palm desktop and outlook. or maybe you can manually copy the program from program files folder.
another (big) drawback is airset syncs calendar and contacts only. so i guess it may not be the program you are looking. my point here is, maybe others will find it useful. my only use for this was to export my contacts and calendar (one-time use) and have to live using outlook.

is this cr1t1c4l the ****er who hacked the exegene forum? what's the fun of it? :?

Syncing Multiple Calendars

Hello,
I'm trying to get my Hermes to sync with the 3 calendars I have in my Outlook Data File - Personal, Training and Work. I haven't been able to find any calendar software that supports multiple calendars, but am using Pocket Informant with a custom view for my training and filters so that my personal and work calendar is combined on the device.
As things stand if I move something out of my personal calendar in Outlook into either of the other calendars, I lose it on my Hermes, what I'd like is to sync the contents of all 3 calendars into the single calendar on the Hermes, where I can use filters to set up the displays I want.
I've tried using PocketMirror Professional, but despite claims for Vista WMDC compatibility I couldn't get the desired configuration and it wiped my calendars completely - thank god for the recycle bin!
Anyway, anyone any ideas of an alternative work around?
I'm using WM6, OUtlook 2007 and Vista Ultimate. Thanks.

Try with new PocketMirror (WM) version 2.2.2 is compatible with Vista.

Apologies I should have been clearer! Yes I mean Lotus Notes, I can find software to do one or the other but not both like I could with the software for my P1i.
Many thanks
Ant

I figured you meant lotus notes. I haven't been able to find any software that will do it. I've heard intellisync does it but i never got it to work on windows mobile 6.1. There is easy sync pro which might do both but its like 60 bucks.

For both Outlook and Notes you can use softwares like XTNDCONNECT PC (v6.5) or EasySync Pro V4.2.6.
It works fine for me.
Best regards

Both gonna cost you around 60 bucks

I'm using Commontime mNotes Desktop to sync with Lotus Notes. It is working very well. There is a free trial at www.commontime.com
The only issue is that this is a yearly subscription software.

Thanks for all the info people I was playing around with different components last night and was looking for a way to have a single piece of software do the syncing from both Notes and Outlook directly to my WM device. I have access to Lotus Easysnyc and this works great to get my cal out of Lotus Notes on to the X1, but it only has Lotus Notes as a datasource and not Outlook.
XTNDConnect will expose both Lotus Notes and Outlook as data sources but as mentioned its 60 USD to purchase, its the same as Easysync but provides hook ins to other data sources unlike Easysync which appears to be limited/licensed to only Notes.
The current solution I have running is Easysync for my notes cal and Activesync for contacts etc out of Outlook - not ideal as difficult to get both to autosync on connection but it works for now and until I get fed up and purchase XTNDConnect
Many thanks

Interesting, I have EasySync Pro 4.2.6 but I do not see Outlook in the data sources, how did you get Outlook in the datasources? I only get Outlook with XTNDConnect.
Thanks

Sorry I made a mistake : You are right.
EasySync and XTNDCOnnect PC can work with WM & Symbian phones but only XTND can sync with Notes and Outlook.
