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? :?

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.
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
I would like to change the PIM on the pc. I don't like oulook and i'm looking for something better or similar.

Take a look at PocketInformant (www.webis.net)
AgendaFusion (www.developerone.com)
Pocket Breeze (www.sbsh.net)

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.
Hello everybody,
After i used my Activesync to synchronize from phone device to desktop, i lost my reminders from my phone but i can still find them on my desktop microsoft outlook under calendar, is it possible to copy a single reminder back to my phone and how?
Thank you very much for our help.
Have you configured the activesync to use Outlook?
What outlook are you working with?
Once you configure activesync or the Windows Mobile Device Center to work with Outlook, you go to Outlook, you can make a reminder under "tasks" or "calendar" you only have to set an alarm(date and time) for that event.
very simple.
Sorry for the grammar.
Also if you use a reminder daily, weekly or so, you can configure that, but you must set the periodicity of the event.
I am using Microsoft outlook to synchronize with my mobile, but i need to copy one of those reminders that i have on MS Outlook back to my phone calendar how to do that ?
Thank you for your answer.
i would suggest sending via bluetooth, that way you can select an appointment and then click file, send via bluetooth. otherwise, i am not sure... good luck
