windows mobile 2003SE, MDA compact

in the windows directory I can see an icon named poutlook but the
traditional outlook icon isn't along side it, there's an icon like this:

http://snipurl.com/gppn

however, when I access the windows directory on the pocket PC
via activesync I see this: http://snipurl.com/gppj

for some reason, I can't start pocket outlook, what's wrong ?

I have the disc and licence, etc.

any ideas ?

Yes, read the manual, "news". And turn on your brain.

cute. from someone with a cheese eating surrender monkey name
you have a lot of courage. all I'd like to know is can I expect a visual
representaion of outlook on the pcket PC which looks like the version
on my PC or is it the fractured messaging / contacts / organiser which
appears on the pocket PC ?

specifically, why is the outlook icon missing from the /programs folder ?


p.s. k98mauser@gmail.com and Kar98@The-Coalition.US ?

cute.

p.s the reason I 'RTFM' the other poster is that they had been asking multiple
inane questions in multiple newsgroups and ignoring any answers they were
given, then repeating the questions under an assumed name.

GYAC ;-)

What makes you think there is any program "poutlook" that can be
started in the first place? On a PPC the various modules (Mail,
Calendar, Tasks) are started seperately.

Why activeSync gives an icon at all, really doesn't really matter.

Who are you to throw a stone with a name like "news" and an e-mail
address "news@news.com" that is probably not yours?

the usual click .exe file - start application, the presence of poutlook.exe
in the windows folder, the general expectation that when you see an .exe
file and click it, an application starts ?

> On a PPC the various modules (Mail,Calendar, Tasks) are started seperately.

thank you, I'd kind of guessed that but wanted to be sure.

> Why activeSync gives an icon at all, really doesn't really matter.

it does if you expect to click an .exe file and get an application light up
and, in windows, when a shortcut has been disassociated with it's
destination file the icon changes .....

see, we all need things explaining from time to time ;-)
