Calendar appointments...Drop off?

PocketPC4me · 05-14-03, 03:50 PM

Tried a couple searches but couldnt find a definitive answer.

Do the past appointments in the Calendar on my Axim drop off after a couple weeks? Im not using Outlook on my PC, so its not involved in syncing AFAIK. Id rather not have months worth of appointments hangina around in memory (even tho theyre small) and deleting one at a time is a PITA. Ive only had my Axim for a few weeks and only used the calendar on it for about a week, but Im just waiting to see if theres an easy way to bulk delete w/o installing Outlook/syncing. A drop off of old appts after a couple weeks would be great.

Thanks

I look arounf and I can't find any info on making it automatically clean out old appointments by itself ...

Only way I can see that it can be done is by using Outlook on the PC ... Outlook can automatically do this then update on a sync ...

If your not going to use Outlook there might be a third party calendar you can buy that has that feature ...

damn, i was hoping there was some other way. :(

It cant be that difficult, but it looks like I may need to learn to use another piece of software. So can you have both Outlook and OE installed in windows and use OE as the default (only using Outlook for the calendar issue)?

Yes you can have both installed and use OE as your default mail program ... After using both I think the full Outlook has a lot more features than the Express ... It does take a little time to set up the way you like but after that its hard to go back ..

Setting up Outlook is very easy .. It will automatically import all your mail, mail accounts, contacts ... By using it you have all your syncing options keeping all that info up to date ...

I will admitt .. The ONE thing that Express does that Outlook doesn't is newsgroups ... But if you want to use Express just for newsgroups you can easily set it up so it opens as ONLY a newsreader by changing the target path in the shortcut to:

"C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" /newsonly

This way it doesn't try retrieving your mail ...
