Hi,
You can sync with Outlook Express however you need a 3rd party application to do so. Check out www.syncdata.it for example.

No, ActiveSync works with Outlook, not Outlook Express.

Under XP, there are thrird party programs that do add the ability to sync with Outlook Express, or Palm desktop, or other PIMs. The better ones cost money. AFAIK there have been no such extension programs released for Vista/WMDC as yet.

So you can downgrade to XP, use ActiveSync and Outlook Express if you buy something like Intellisync to make that work, or you can stick with Vista and WMDC and buy Outlook.

BTW, no, WMDC does not support Vista Calendar, or Contacts, or Windows Mail (the replacement for Outlook Express on Vista)

with Outlook Express, Right?

That won't help, since the device will only sync with Outlook on an XP
machine as well (it will NOT sync with Outlook Express, which comes with
XP.)

You do not have to buy Office to get Outlook- Outlook is sold separately.

Otherwise, if you wish to sync just to have a Backup, you can establish a
free Exchange account with mail2web.com and sync with that over the internet,
and use it's free web-based version of Outlook (Outlook Web Accress) on
your Vista (or XP) PC.
