Synchronization Software for Hotmail <-> Pocket PC Calendar/Contacts Nathan Sokalski 12-01-2005

I would like to be able to synchronize the calendar and contacts on my
Pocket PC 2003 with the calendar and contacts in my MSN Hotmail account. I
used to use IntelliSync for MSN, which worked great and I loved, but was
later told that MSN stopped supporting IntelliSync for MSN. I was told that
I should use Microsoft Outlook Connector, but the only way to get that was
by installing it with the MSN Premium software. Even though I have an MSN
Premium account, I HATE the MSN Premium software and would rather be unable
to synchronize than install that. Therefore, the only remaining option I can
think of is any third-party software available to do this synchronization.
Here are my preferences as to how I would like to do the synchronization:

1. I would prefer to do the synchronization without Outlook being involved,
but I am willing to have Outlook installed as long as I don't have to
interact with it directly during the synchronization.

2. I want the synchronization process to be very simple and straightforward;
I want to simply click a button or select from a menu something that says
something like "Perform Synchronization"

3. I am willing to do some initial configuration for the software if
necessary, but I do not want to need to reconfigure it each time I
synchronize.

If anybody knows of any software that I can use to synchronize my Pocket PC
2003 Calendar & Contacts with my MSN Hotmail Calendar & Contacts, I would
very much appreciate it if you would let me know about it. Thanks.

Go into PocketGear.com and write Hotmail in the search field. A number of
software packages that do that will appear.

Based on what I could tell from the 4 that it returned when I entered
"Hotmail" in the Search box, those 4 only synchronized the email. None of
them mentioned anything about Calendar or Contacts. My primary concern is
the Calendar feature, and I don't want to have any emails on my device. If I
am missing the applications you were thinking of, I think you will have to
let me know the name of the software so I can look for it on some other site
or know which one of these 4 it is. Thanks anyway.
