However I too have heard of other users with problems with Outlook 2000. In
their case, they installed 2002. BTW corporate should know that there are
fields on the device that do not exist in Outlook 2000 so you may lose some
data.

Hi,
ActiveSync only syncs with the default PST and the default Contacts folder.
It won't allow you to choose the PST or the folder.

Hi,
I'd ask Pumatech to see if Intellisync will work or check with Chapura as
well. The latest I've heard is that they have not upgraded their products
for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices.
