Title: Any Way To Sync Pim To Outlook Xp ?
Post by: borisbob on January 04, 2005, 06:45:57 pm

Still sitting on the fence between the Cacko and the pdaXrom.

Main barrier - sync to Outlook XP (calendar/contacts) at work.

Any solution/workaround please ?

Thanks
Regards
Boris.

Hi all,

I'm facing the same doubt that Borisbob has.
Is there any plan to sync to Outlook?

Regards,

Hi,

I think you're having a better chance for an answer if you ask this question in the kdepim threads (software forum);

Here's my solution :

I was using outlook too, but, messing around in Ko/Pi I found out that it was much more suitable for me than outlook:
- subtodo's !!
- showing todo's in calendar view !!
- and a lot of other minor reasons
So I decided to install Ko/Pi and Ka/Pi on my win2k and I haven't regretted it one moment.
So if possible, i suggest you leave outlook and switch to Ko/Pi on Windows.

About syncing :
I've set up a samba connection to connect my Z to my PC.
I mounted my win2K to my Z (to /mnt/jobcomp in my case)
I can easily sync Ko/Pi on my Z to Ko/Pi on win2K using the "local file" option and selecting the file on /mnt/jobcomp.

Good luck,
Chero.

Chero, thanks for the advice !

One problem though - that can work for ToDos and Contacts,

but what do you do with all the people at work who keep sending you Outlook appointments ?!

But in my case is mandatory to use Outlook.
