I have a Dell Axim, and I use a Web based calendar that can export into

iCal (.ics) and vCal (.vcs) files.
I use Mozilla's Calendar to sync up with it; it's great.
But I want to be able to also import from the Web calendar into my
Pocket PC.

The built-in Calendar doesn't have in import feature. And while the
file icon for those .ics and .vcs files I copied into my Axim show
little calendar icons as if it recognizes the files, it doesn't do
anything when I try to open them.

Am I missing something?
Or is there a 3rd-party program for PocketPC's that is a little more
robust?

Thanks for any suggestions!
Liam

Import into Outlook on your PC then Sync with Outlook.

Hrrm. Was hoping for a better way. Since I get about 400 e-mails a day,
I don't sync up with Outlook on my PC, and in fact, I don't even use
Outlook. (Thunderbird.)
And at work where I spend almost all of my waking hours anyway, I don't
even use Windows (Linux.) I can copy files back and forth, but not use
ActiveSync anyway.

OK, well, oh well.
Thanks for replying, though. =)

>> hoping <<

Outlook came free with your pocketpc and is the primary PIM manager for
any WinCE device

Even if you don't use it as your mail client and for other pim
organizers, it's essential that you install it and take a look at it's
function or you will loose a major part of the ppc's usefullness.

Outlook has good import functionality plus you can set it up as a
"passive" email client to allow it to trap the appointments for syncing
and continue to use mozilla... also my primary email client.

What OS version? I am 99% sure I have received .ics files in my PDA2K,
which is WM2003SE and they created appointments. It could be that
Pocket Informant is the app recognizing and importing the file though.
