I wanted to do the same thing. My admin at the office has whatever feature that allows pocket PC's remote access to the exchange serve off. So I can't sync with my outlook from home. What I do is sync with outlook at work with my travel cable, and then I sync at home. I don't ever send email on my axim, but I occasionally read it. I'm sure that I could, but since it won't send until I'm right next to a keyboard already it seems like a waste. The only way that I can check my email is to go in through the web interface of outlook and that just looks terrible. I'm sure there is some way around that, but I don't really care that much.
Good luck and
