I have been searching for a good tool to allow my X5 to sync with my YAHOO address book. Any good software (freeware) available?

Yahoo has free Intellisync software that will allow you to sync contacts, calendar, notes. In the past, it would allow syncing only to Microsoft Outlook, but it looks like they've updated and can sync directly to PPC. I found that it goofed some of my fields (spouse and children fields in PPC readily come to mind), but none of the important stuff. There was also a problem with categories, I think, but I don't remember.

I now have mine set up to not sync Outlook and Yahoo, but to push all data to Yahoo, which is another option. I only use Yahoo as a backup for what is getting to be the rare occasion that I don't have my handheld. I can look up any numbers I need on my mobile phone using Yahoo's wap site. Also saves tons of time adding numbers to the mobile phone address book, because I can access all this info. online.

Just had a look at this MS Exchange email provider. Does anyone here have any experience of theese people? I have had a look at Yahoo but find the ads much too distracting. Any comments about this company/service would be appreciated. I do not want to sign up with them to find that they interfere with my current Active sync settings etc.

Any ideas or info gratefully recieved. Many thanks all

Outlook Web Access
Easily access your mailbox via any web browser with Outlook Web Access. Since it is a near-duplicate of the Outlook 2003 desktop client, many of the productivity features you rely on are included. Best of all, employees working remotely will always have access to the same information as on-site employees.

Outlook Web Access also lets you maintain all of your contact information within your address book in one central location. The address book is easily accessible at any time and from anywhere.
Symantec Mail Security for Exchange
Virus scan is enabled with all Exchange accounts. Your Exchange account will be checked for viruses and, if a virus is detected, the infected attachment will be removed.
E-mail auto-responder
Create an auto-responder to automatically reply to any e-mail sent to a particular address. You can set up the auto-responder from your 1&1 Control Panel.
Catch all e-mail
This great feature enables you to capture all e-mails that have been sent to a non-existent e-mail address at your domain. This is ideal for recovering e-mails that are incorrectly addressed or misspelled.
Active Sync
Have your e-mail, contacts and calendar synchronised and accessible from anywhere at anytime with mobile ActiveSync. You’ll always be in touch when you’re on the road and your data will always be up-to-date. Staying up-to-date while on the move has never been easier.
Tasks
A task is an action item you want to track through completion. A task can occur once or can be recurring.

Let your journal help you better organise all of your communications.
Notes
Notes are ideal for jotting down ideas, reminders, questions and more. Notes are especially useful for storing pieces of information you may want to reuse later in another document.
Public folder
Effectively collect, organise and share information with your team members. Public folders can contain e-mail messages, appointments, contacts, tasks, journal entries, notes, forms, files and postings.
MAPI over HTTP (requires Windows XP)
The MAPI over HTTP is a protocol which allows your Outlook 2003 to connect to Exchange 2003 Servers using an HTTP/HTTPS connection. This solves the problem remote Outlook 2003 users have when located behind restrictive firewalls.
Group functionalities
Collaborate with other team members via public folders and easily and effectively collect, organise, and share information. Share files or post information to an electronic bulletin board. Public Folders are also an ideal way to store items such as calendars and contacts that are shared by two or more people.


Calendar
Public calendar folders are a great place to store company events, schedules for product launches, group meetings and more.
Contacts
Consolidate all of your contacts in one place with a public contacts folder. Give team members the permissions they need to access your contact data. You can even assign read-only access to protect data from being edited. Make notes to your Outlook contacts so all your team members can be kept updated.
Documents
Your public documents folder can hold any type of document, in Excel or Word format, so everyone on your team will be kept up-to-date, automatically.
Discussions
A discussion folder is a great place to share new ideas, and get everyone's input. Creating a new posting to the whole group is as simple as starting a new e-mail. You can post a new topic, or reply to an existing topic.
Task management
Track and manage all tasks in your working environment in one centralised location. Task status as well as start and end dates can be defined. Plus, tasks can be assigned to different members within a team.
Pop-up reminder
Never forget an important appointment or meeting again. Add your item to your calendar and the pop-up reminder will display on the day and time you designate, prior to your event.
Outlook rules for E-mail Management

You can't sync with Outlook Web Access. If they're selling an Outlook Web Access client it won't work. If they're selling Outlook Express with POP/IMAP that won't work either. If they're selling a proper Outlook connection then it might work. I'd email them and ask if it works and how it works.

Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

   

I use 1 and 1 account and have a .me.uk domain name.

that has about 6 email address on it for my family but id never read about half those features.
