Get off AOL
If you are using web based mail from any ISP then you will not be able to synch your pocket PC. PPC's synch with outlook nicely and the solution is to configure your outlook to collect your aol mail. Once in outlook you do have the pain in the butt task of moving you imap account (aol) stuff to the "outlook today" section.

The obvious solution is to get rid of aol. I can't tell you how many people I begged to get off aol cause I was so tired of supporting them yet they are so happy when they get rid of aol!

Why do people stay with aol?? They like the higher cost per month? The ton of crap it loads on their system?

No! the reason is "OH MY, I'LL HAVE TO CHANGE MY EMAIL ADDRESS"

Oh Boo hoo!!! Some people would rather roll over and die then change their email account. Don't be one of them!

Another disappointed user
Worse than just being disappointed, I spent several frustrating hours trying to work out why my palm os clie wouldn't sync with AOL & send out emails... I too am not really interested in this new development because I don't need to sync the applications covered, I would much prefer to sync emails, and would settle for desktop syncing rather than mobile syncing although both would be great.With more (& expensive!)clies and palms on the way this really needs sorting out otherwise we might as well buy a phone-based organiser in the future.

PUMATECH TO SYNC AOL
I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED, AS I'M SURE MANY, MANY, OF AOL SUBSCRIBERS ARE, TO FIND OUT THAT THE NEW POCKET PC I PURCHASED IS UNABLE TO SYNC WITH MY INTERNET PROVIDER AOL. IT WOULD BE A REAL PLUS TO BE ABLE TO SYNC WITH AOL TO RETREIVE E-MAIL OR EVEN BETTER YET TO BE ABLE TO RECEIVE E-MAIL DIRECTLY TO MY HANDHELD, MUCH LIKE WITH CERTAIN CELLULAR PHONE SERVICE PROVIDERS. WE DON'T NEED TO BE ABLE TO SYNC OUR CALENDERS AND ADDRESS BOOKS THE DEVICES WE PURCHASED ALREADY DO THAT. AOL SUBSCRIBERS WILL BE VERY HAPPY WHEN AOL IS ABLE TO PROVIDE POP3 E-MAIL SERVICE UNTL THEN WHAT PUMATECH IS ABOUT TO DO FALLS SHORT OF WHAT IS EXPECTED FRORM AN INTERNET PROVIDER LIKE AOL !!! WHEN WILL I BE ABLE TO SYNC MY E-MAIL FROM AOL TO MY POCKET PC ???
