I must be crazy but upgraded to Outlook 2003 and sync stopped working. I contacted Sharp and they said that Sync did not work with 2003. Does it or doesn\'t it or is there a workaround? I\'m very confused but for now my Zaurus is a paperweight.

I just talked with Sharp Zaurus support yesterday and they send if they get enough complaints on the syncing problem with Outlook 2003 they will look into creating a fix.

I seem to remember something about the format of the files are different in Outlook2003 and you can save in a compatability mode

If you use Intellisync this oughtn\'t matter as it uses the object model which I assume is pretty much unchanged (or at least I doubt they removed anything). I don\'t know how Qtopia Desktop works.

I am able to have Activesync for a PocketPC and Intelliysync for the Zaurus both utilize Outlook 2003 on th same PC to sync.  Although I just installed Intellisync tonight, the two programs don\'t seem to have issues with each other.

What kind of enviroment are you using Outlook, Internet email or Exchange Server based?  I know my Zaurus is not syncing with Outlook 2003 as an Exchange Server Client.  Or are you downloading Exchange mail into a personal folder.  From talking with Sharp, they told me that M$ changed the format of the file layouts for Outlook 2003.

This is meangene...I\'m not syncing as an exchange server client.  My mail is downloaded into a personal folder.  I haven\'t noticed any problems yet.  Actually, Intellisync seems more stable than Activestink.

Hi,
Same problem here: Just upgraded from Outlook 2000 to Outlook 2003 and intellisynch stopped working.
When back to Outlook 2000 and it started working again. They both use the same outlook.pst file so I don\'t think the problem is with the file format but with how intellisynch (version 1.43E) gains access to this file.

I am having similar problems with Outlook 2003. Networking is set up properly because I cause SSH into the Zaurus as usual, but no Intellisync. I think the problem is with Intellisync, because when I go into synchronization option I can\'t locate any data files for Outlook 2003. When I go to browse it takes me too Personal Folders where OK is greyed out and won\'t let me browse anywhere else.

I cannot sync with  Outlook 2003, either.  I also called Sharp and was told they have no plans to develop a work around for this.

My Outlook 2003 runs from an exchange server.

I don\'t understand why some of you are not having problems.  I am so discouraged that I am about to dump my Zarus.
