QnA: Can I sync my device with Outlook 2003?

  • Article

Question:

I am told that I can NOT sync my Treo 650 (unlocked) to my Outlook 2003. I work from home on my laptop. I do not connect to any company server. I have internet DSL connection through my ISP provider which is also my email provider. With that type of set up is it possible to sync email from my phone to my laptop and vice versa? I am not techically savvy and just want to be able to use the sync capability with my outlook account.

Answer:

Palm Treo 650 runs Palm OS. It has absolutely nothing to do with us. I have never used that device and no idea how Palm software works.

 

If you had a Treo 700w then you could do desktop sync. Basically your Palm would have come with a companion CD that contains active sync. You can also download it from the Microsoft website. Once installed, you will be able to connect your Palm Treo to the computer using the provided USB cable and it will sync with your Outlook 2003 (it syncs emails, tasks, contacts and calendar items). In fact, it can also sync IE favorites, files and music.  

 

Thanks.
