Outlook® 2007 Update for Palm OS Devices


Posted February 6, 2007

If you use Microsoft® Office Outlook® 2007 on Windows XP or Windows Vista, you'll need this update to perform HotSync operations with Outlook's Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Notes, as well as optional non-wireless Email sync.

The software on this page is added to existing installations of Palm Desktop and HotSync Manager.


Do I need this update?

DO install this update if you:
  • Sync with Outlook 2007 on Windows Vista or Windows XP
  • Have Palm OS device
    e.g. Treo 755p, 680, Tungsten, Zire
  • Already installed Palm Desktop and HotSync Manager on your PC
  • Use the Palm Outlook Conduits to sync with Outlook (how to tell)
Do NOT install this update if you:
  • Sync with Palm Desktop instead of Outlook
  • Have a Windows Mobile device
    e.g. Treo 750, Treo 700wx
  • Use a third-party sync application(how to tell
    e.g. Chapura's PocketMirror
  • Never installed Palm Desktop and HotSync Manager²
  • Sync wirelessly with Outlook using Exchange ActiveSync, and never sync through the USB cable or Bluetooth²
  • Have a Mac

1 - If you use a third-party sync application, please contact the third-party developer or vendor to learn what you need to do for synchronization with Outlook 2007.
2 - We recommend performing periodic HotSync operations through the USB sync cable, in order to back up items that are not synchronized during Exchange ActiveSync synchronization. These items include add-on software and system settings.
