Synchronize Windows mail with Windows mobile

[Y2kCyK]

Does any body know if you can or how to sync email and contact from windows mail to windows mobile. Like Outlook 2002 does that comes on the disc with mobile phone?

You cannot sync windows mail with windows mobile. You will have to use Outlook for that.

This the the drawback of the great M$:

• Contacts: Without Outlook installed on your PC you cant sync your Windows Contacts.
• Calendar: Without Outlook installed on your PC you cant sync your Windows Calendar.
• E-mail: Without Outlook installed on your PC you cant sync your E-mail from Windows Mail.

There are just some of the basic things any smartphone users want to sync with their computer and clearly Microsoft fails with their Windows Mobile. Here is a response from someone in Microsoft to a user who asked how to Sync Vista Windows Contacts to PPC in Windows Mobile newsgroups.

Currently, WMDC does not support sycning of Windows Mail and Windows Contacts. It is something that the feature team is considering for future releases. Currently, WMDC only supports syncing of data with Outlook.

Shame on you Microsoft and Windows Mobile team

You cannot. Windows Mobile will only sync with Microsoft Office Outlook or a Microsoft Exchange Server.

Yes. Like all previous versions of Windows, you must install and use Outlook in order to sync email, contacts, etc with a Windows based mobile device. Windows Mail will not work--just as Outlook Express did not.
