I have a Windows 7 64bit setup running Outlook 2010 32bit as part of Office 2010 Professional Plus and I am trying to sync an old HP iPAQ Pocket PC running Pocket PC 2003 Pro w/ Outlook 2002, but WMDC doesn't appear to recognise Outlook 2010. It sees the device just fine, but not Outlook. Can anyone help?
Is not outlook now dead?, MS buried it long ago?
(ever think there is HP driver needed?)

fixya is not HP,
so...... when fiddling with relics, be best to as real HP folks no?

Active Sync will work with many version of outlook. Your PDA interfaces with Active Sync.
Certain versions of Windows Mobile software and/or PDA's require higher versions of active sync to sync correctly.
At some point when I installed some windows updates, my Outlook started asking if I wanted to allow ActiveSync to access Outlook's data and for how long.
Do you get a dialogue like this when you sync while Outlook is running? Could it be that when it's not running, you aren't given the dialogue and thus permission is not granted to ActiveSync to access the data?
The default e-mail client on pocketPC 2003 is the "inbox" which is merly a utility for retreiving & sending e-mail.
There is no "outlook 2002" on pocket PC's.
The Outlook 2002 installation cd comes with most iPaqs and is intended for your pc, not your ipaq.
