PIM Software
I am looking one more time for a really good, easy to use, yet still has more flexibility than the OS software which comes with WM 2005.
I am aware that the data will be taken from Outlook. With that said, anyone have a current favorite?

PocketBreeze is the best all around interface to "Pocket Outlook". SPB Diary is close 2nd and I'd only really use it if I had other SPB apps to integrate it as well

For a PIM you are looking at either PocketInformant or AgendaFusion.

Although I agree that a really good Today plug-in like PocketBreeze may be everything you need.

FWIW, I use both PocketBreeze and PocketInformant.

I use Agenda Fusion and am quite happy with it. I reviewed Pocket Informant, and I think that's a pretty good application too - you can't go wrong with either one.

if you have a large calender (> 3 years), pocket informant is no go...
try out pocket breeze first.

They all have trial versions so download each (PocketInformant, Agenda Fusion and Pocket Breeze) to see which you like best.

Like AKAJohnDoe I use PB and PI.

Always try before you buy!

I would recommend three trials, non-overlapping, that is, serially:

• PocketBreeze with the default PIM
• PocketBreeze with AgendaFusion as the PIM
  • Disable the PocketBreeze Today plug-in to see how you like AgendaFusion by itself
• PocketBreeze with PocketInformant as the PIM
  • Disable the PocketBreeze Today plug-in to see how you like PocketInformant by itself

Also, while I recommend PocketBreeze, there are at least two other well-known Today Plug-ins that others use. Spb Diary and Journal Bar.

Great advice!

I see no one recommends Agendus. I, too, am looking for a good PIM, and over the next several days will be trying all of the above recommendations. Anyone use Agendus? BTW, I am currently using PocketBreeze by itself, and I love it.

What a third-party PIM like PocketInformant or Agendus brings to the table, above and beyond a Today plug-in like PocketBreeze or Diary, is additions to the capabilities of the PIMs such as advanced recurring options and additional views.

I need those capabilities myself, but not all the time, so I use PocketBreeze and invoke PocketInformant as needed. Obviously, PocketInformant always gets invoked on an edit of an existing item or a create of new item.
