synchronizing MSN inbox

Big Nasty P · 07-11-03, 04:29 AM

How come my Axom can synchronize all my stuff except email? I use MSN web-based email which means that when I use Outlook, my inbox is not the default Outlook inbox but rather another one named "MSN Inbox". I think that Active SYnc only syncs email from the default inbox.
THerefore: how can I make the MSN Inbox the place from which Active Sync can sync my email? Thanks in advance for any help.

I am having the exact same problem it if makes you feel any better. I just got my axim last night, and upgraded to outlook 2002 so I'm not sure where to start. I tried to set up a new mail account, but axim does not accept http mail servers. I know this is different then synching but I'm trying anything. I know I read somewhere that you can access web based e-mail with the axim, bit I can't remember where I found it. Post any solutions you find.
Thanks

Same problem here with my MSN email. Did you ever get a fix for it?

is there any way to syn outlook express, since u can use that to read your msn or hotmail accounts?

Unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to synch to outlook express (I am no expert though). However, even if you could I don't think you can get http e-mail. There are a couple of apps that can access web based mail. I have tried 2, pocket hotmail and OneMail. Neither of these apps worked for me, but I have been told by both that it's because my axim is using 2003. Hopefully companies will soon be making updates for 2003, so I guess I'll have to wait. One other thing, my axim came with Outlook 2002 bundled in the software disc. Outlook 2002 can read http e-mail, just like outlook express can. The problem is the ActiveSync program will not sync the msn inbox.

It is amazing MS would do this since MSN is their baby.

there is a 3rd party app that would allow you to sync outlook express & possibly hotmail but, of course, I forgot the name of it. It's here somewhere on the site. Try doing a search on outlook express and you might find it. As for this 3rd party app working on 2003 Axims, I don't know (?).

update...one of the apps is called Sycn Express.

Thanks, I found sync express, thinking about buying it soon, though usually I'm checking my mail while I'm syncing, just wondering if there was a way to do it in case i get a BT or 802.11x connection.
