Please log in for more thread options Point is, technically it is not an 'issue'. No PPC/SP/Windows Mobile Device
has ever sync'd with anything other than Outlook or Exchange without some
third party additions. At this point I know of no 3rd party package that
extends Vista's Windows Mobile Device Center (AS only works on XP not
Vista), to sync with other PIMs like Windows Mail (IE Express replacement),
Palm Desktop or even Vista's own calendar and contacts.
Intellisync, by Pumasoft, was one product that did this sort of thing on XP,
but I haven't seen them produce a Vista/WMDC version.
