Why not? They provide a Palm sync capability with Outlook Express (at
least with the version I just downloaded along with Internet Explorer
5.0).
Interesting that MICROSOFT is providing a Palm sync capability on the
mac...but not a Windows CE one, isn't it? MS is one screwed up company,
ain't it? The Mac division seems to have some grasp of reality, though!

I've downloaded this from MS's web site, but can't get it work -- I think
it requires a Microsoft Exchange server, which I don't have. I use the
Windows version at work, but we don't have Exchange there either. Just
MS-Mail and POP/SMTP.
Anybody out there using the full Outlook/Mac without an MS server?
