Hi Johannes,

You will need to use Chapura PocketMirror usually included with the Palm
Desktop software so that your HotSync operations can synchronize data
between your Palm Computing handheld and Microsoft Outlook. Once the data
is in Outlook, you can use the iPAQ to synchronize with Outlook.

The following Chapura site suggests that the software is not included with
the CD of your Palm Pilot Professional ---

So looks like you might need to buy it or get it from someone who has it on
their Palm CD.

An alternative methoed, you can use to move your Contacts addresses is by
importing them into yahoo mail, export it, and import them into Outlook.
(Login to yahoo -> click the Address tab on top -> Click import/export
feature on top-right side -> and import from Palm Desktop and repeat to
export into Outlook.

Chapura has a new product that might help as well, but would cost you $20.
PocketCopy. It is a one time, move Palm Desktop info into Outlook utility.
Great solution for the unfortunate situation where you have all your info in
Palm Desktop, your Palm just bit the dust, and you are looking to get a PPC
to replace it. Pocket Mirror allows you to take a PALM device and sync it
with Outlook.
