SUMMARY
This article describes how to synchronize Outlook with a Palm Pilot.



MORE INFORMATION
To synchronize a Palm Pilot with Outlook, you must have both the Palm desktop software and Chapura PocketMirror software installed. Both programs are provided with your Palm Pilot, and are located on the following Web sites:

http://www.palm.com

-and-

http://www.chapura.com

NOTE: You must install the Palm software before you install the PocketMirror software.

Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. This contact information may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information.

For support with these programs, consult the program manufacturers.

When you install the PocketMirror software, a button is added to your standard Outlook toolbar that allows you to modify the PocketMirror settings within Outlook.

For these two programs to work with Outlook, you must have the current updated versions of the Palm Pilot desktop software and the PocketMirror software installed. For additional information, visit the following Palm Web site:

Because the Palm Pilot software requires that you have a profile in Outlook, install Outlook in the Corporate or Workgroup (CW) mode. For additional information about how to synchronize your Palm Pilot with Outlook Express 5 and higher, please visit the following Palm Web site:

Typically, only the default folders (Inbox, Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Notes) are synchronized with synchronization software. To synchronize a Palm Pilot with Outlook, the device must be in its cradle, and Palm HotSync (the Palm synchronization software) must be running. With the device in the cradle, press the HotSync/Synchronization button on the cradle to activate the synchronization procedure. A synchronization status window appears on your desktop. When synchronization is complete, the software displays where you can view a log file of the synchronization process.
