If you use Outlook Express 5.x on Mac OS 9, you can synchronize your contact information with your Palm. The needed conduit is included with Outlook Express but must be installed separately.
To install the conduit you must:
- Open the Extras folder within your Outlook Express folder
- Run the Palm Sync Installer following all instructions
- Open Outlook Express
- Select File|Palm Sync Setup
- Go to the General Options tab
- Select Enable Palm Synchronization
- Select either Synchronize Private Records or Do Not Synchronize Private Records
- Go to the Address Book tab
- Choose one of the synchronization methods. Unless you are moving new data from the desktop to the handheld or vice-versa, you should generally select Synchronize.
- Select either Home, Work, or Other address to send to your Palm
- Click Okay
- Open Conduit Settings from within either Palm Desktop or the Hotsync Manager
- Double click on Address Book
- Select Do Nothing
- Click Make Default
- Click Okay (this should take you back to the Conduit Manager screen)
- Close the Conduit Manager
You should now be able to synchronize your data.
