Tungsten E won't sync with Outlook

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops (More info?)

Please, someone help me. I've spent hours on the phone to Palm support
trying to get this one sorted but they can't help. My Tungsten E won't sync
with Outlook 2003. It syncs fine with Palm desktop. I've got all the
uprgades installed but it seems to be something to do with security and not
being able to log on to Outlook. I've got Norton anti virus installed but
I've turned it off and it doesn't make any difference. And, yes, I've
re-installed everything from scratch and rebooted countless times. Still
nothing.
Hope someone out there has had a similar problem and solved it.

Thanks for any help.
Andrew.

mozilla.org has invented a solution to all Outlook problems. It's
called Firefox. Sync your contacts and calender to palm desktop, use
firefox for your email and then delete outlook from your pc and use
the CD for a pretty hanging mobile for your baby neice or nephew.

That's what I did.

Bill, Did you reset the option to the default after up syncing the Tungsten
E and then it sync in both directions or did you leave it as Handheld
overwrites desktop. Effectively making the E a master.
