I've had my Axim for about a month now and love it. I connect the cradle to my home comp and create a partnership synching my pop3 mail and other stuff. Then I take the cradle to my work comp and start to create a new partnership synching my mail with an exchange server. Thing is it keeps telling me to delete one of the partnerships in order to synch. What a nuisance because after I do it and take the cradle and pda back home it tells me to delete a partnership in order to make a new one in order to synch email!!! Can anyone stop this madness? Step-by-step instructions on how to get it so I can synch both comps would be GREATLY appreciated. I just dished out the cash for another cradle (piece of advice: you have to order another powercord too) to help take away the inconvenience of lugging the cradle around with me so now I'm hoping I can resolve what I think to be a settings problem.
HELP!

You can sync everything with 2 PC's except the email. After creating a partnership on the first PC (where you want to sync email) you then create another partnership on the 2nd PC and indicate that this is a second PC when the "create partnership" wizard comes up in ActiveSync. On the first PC you can check everything available to sync. On the 2nd PC you can not enable syncing of email.

There is one possible work-around to sync email from two locations, if your systems support it. You can sync Outlook email on your one PC, and then get your POP3 email directly (without syncing) via a direct connection to the internet or network where you access that POP3 account. Or you can go visa-versa - sync with the PC that gets the POP3 email and then use a direct network connection to access the Exchange server for the other email. Your choices depend on whether you can connect your Axim to the network with the Exchange server or whether you can connect to the internet via either ActiveSync, direct modem connection, or a direct network connection.

Go into your inbox on the Axim and tap on "Services" at the bottom. There you can create additional email services to connect to. Remember, these additional services are not the ones accessed via ActiveSync. These are ones your device can connect to directly if you have such connectivity available to you; ie: WiFi network connection, CF modem card, ActiveSync pass-through to the internet, etc.

The only problem is that you can not merge the multiple accounts together. In other words, if you transfer email via ActiveSync, those messages remain segregated from the messages accessed via some other service you have created. You have to switch between them in your inbox to see and work with each group of messages.

I agree with TSB8C. This is the only work around I found. I sync at the office connected to the exchange server and I connect at home through pop mail. A crude but effective way to send mail between multiple locations.

Thanks a bunch for the info. I guess I will just have to live with synching to only one email account.
