chrisbin Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Hi All! Well I'm still here....no news on job front yet, but at least I get to enjoy the weather, and we don't have to sort out child care!! Just wondered if anyone can help me with downloading my Palm address book to Outlook Express on my home PC...? Not having much luck at the moment - an idiots guide(as usual) would be helpful! Cheers PS Thanks for all the messages of support recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbin Posted August 15, 2003 Author Share Posted August 15, 2003 Where are all you IT bods then....?? Have I said/done something wrong?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike dB Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 I just don't think anyone know's the answer?! I know I don't, can't you just hand write them down & input them manually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7SE Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Chris, I'm an IT bod, and when faced with the same problem I didn't figure out a solution and just used the Palm Desktop. However, prompted by you query, I went to palmgear.com and did a search in FAQ. Got this: There are several companies that support syncing your Palm PIM data with Outlook Express. Chapura offers Jibe, a solution that pulls name and email information from Outlook Express while still pulling addresses, phone numbers, and notes from Palm Desktop. It keeps all three applications - the Palm Address Book, the Palm Desktop Address Book, and Outlook Express - in sync. Reaction Software's Express Sync allows full synchronization between the Palm Address Book and Outlook Express. It allows you to choose which address to sync with the Palm, or to map one of the addresses to the Palm Address Book custom fields if you want both available. It also lets you prioritize which five phone numbers are synchronized. It also lets you set different field mapping rules for different categories. PumaTech's Intellisync also supports syncing with Outlook Express. The original results had links embedded in them Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 I'd get a full edition of Outlook, rather than Outlook Express. It may well have synching options built in (don't know, 'cos my Psion does it all for me....). I believe the full version of Outlook has more features, and is more secure, or so I've been told.....

gregh Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 get an IPAQ, I know all about PocketPC, nowt about palm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisbin Posted August 16, 2003 Author Share Posted August 16, 2003 Thanks for the responses guys! I think I'll be sticking with the Palm desktop for now. Then I'll decide how many of the 600+ records/contacts I really need to keep and probably enter them manually I guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Collins Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 I used to sync my "old" palm (OS3) with Outlook Express using Intellisync without any problems - but that was a couple of years ago. I've since moved on to Outlook and OS5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
