I have had it with Outlook. I loved my Palm Desktop - one job and it did it extremely well. Now with Outlook syncing on 2 machines it's managed to duplicate every note, manages to change my contacts all the time. My wife is no longer listed by her name but by her email address. I have about 2 dozen contacts that are listed 4+ times, Outlook always bombs trying to get 1 email message thats 1k big... I can keep going.

I hate OUTLOOK!!!

So please, can I sync to anything Anything ANYTHING but outlook!!!

Thanks in advance

Well, yes, if you have a Mac around:-)

I also just switched over from Palm and I too hated Outlook when I first had to deal with it.

So I got this: http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_windowsmobile.php and am happily syncing with my Intel iMac through both Entourage and Apple Mail. Much happier now:-)

You can use FinchSync (http://www.finchsync.com/) to sync with Mozilla Lightning and Sunbird. Yes it does work with WM2k5.

I'll try the Fynchsync but there's gotta be something else out there that this crappy phone can connect with.
Any ideas?

I tried FynchSync.. it seems alright when I install it.. etc. However, at the last step of getting a link to sync, I notice that it still needs active sync (e.g. if you do it via USB cable). Sigh. But I think you ought to able to do it via wireless.

You can sync with Lotus Notes (if you really want to use this as your client) as well. I'm lucky :?: enough to have this at work and have bought a personal license of CommonTime mNotes. It's £40, which is a little excessive, but it does a good job and I've not encountered any problems yet.
