Hi,

I need a few pointers or links to good sources of info on Hotsynching.
I use Outlook Express for email and contacts as I have multiple email addresses.
I use Outlook for calendar and To Do lists.

I would like to get some advice on how to sync with both of these packages (don't care about email for the moment) - where do I get a conduit for Outlook Express contacts.

Alternatively, are there any Windows 98 PIM packages that support all of the above functionality (inc multiple email addresses) that I could migrate to ?

One question comes to my mind... why don't you just use Outlook? Seems redundant to have both Outlook and Outlook Express. Outlook can handle several email accounts as well.
I haven't tried it myself, but I believe Outlook and the Palms sync nicely together.

I think I need some education on using Outlook.
How do you get it to set up multiple email accounts ?
I have to have a different account for each email address at present (all Internet email accounts) as I can only set up one Internet mail service per single account.

Am I missing something ? I don't proclaim to be an Outlook expert.

I will try setting up one account for each email address and share the contacts list, calendar, ToDo Lists across each of these accounts.

Any better ideas ?

Try importing

In Outlook, under File-->Import and Export, there is an option to import Internet Mail settings and Import Internet Mail and addresses. It looks for settings from Outlook Express and pulls them in to Outlook. Try this and see if it will let you migrate everything to one screen. (I haven't tried doing it this way before, so not sure how it would work) Good Luck!
