Bookmark topic
Apologies for starting a new thread, but it's a problem that's been driving me crazy for a couple of days now...
Has anyone been able to sync the P800 PDA applications (i.e. contacts, calendar, tasks, notes) with Outlook XP/2002? I was hoping to finally retire my Palm, but haven't been able to sync the dang P800 at all. I've been able to transfer files, install programs etc from the PC to the P800 via the USB cable connection (cradle), so it's not a physical connection problem.
I've tried installing the P800 PC Suite software at least 6 times, as well as reformated a hard drive and reinstalled just Windows XP, Outlook XP/2002 and the PC Suite - as clean an install as you can get, but still no luck...
Anyone have any ideas at all? Or if not, does anyone know if Sony Ericsson has a tech-support email address or telephone number I can call - it's not officially released in my country yet.
This whole issue is driving me up the wall, as I haven't had a sync problem this perplexing in all my years with Palms/Handsprings and Pocket PCs.
Many thanks in advance for any advice.
Best,
C

Hjuhlin,
I'm happy to hear you have been able to synch with Outlook - it gives me hope that it's just some odd setting that I have wrong. Could you tell me what your setup is - are you also using Outlook XP/2002, Windows XP, and connecting to the P800 via the USB cradle? Is there anything specific you think might be causing my problem?
Specifically, what happens is that when I use the "Synchronize" menu command from the task bar P800 icon, the "Synchronisation in progress" window comes up - and I get the graphic of the files going to-and-fro from the P800 and the PC. However, for each of the application progress bars underneath, I just get the message "Synchronisation not started" forever - then after a while the window seems to hang.
Again, I have been able to transfer files to the P800 from the PC, so the connection is working. It must be something to do with the setup of the synch software.
Thanks for your help!
Best,
C

My Synchronisation starts after 30 seconds and work.
One problem can be in the internet settings ,program and e-mail as to be Microsoft outlook not outlook express.

Thomas,
Thanks for the post; what Internet settings are you referring to? On the P800? I don't see Outlook/Outlook Express as choices there. If you mean in the Synchronisation Settings window on the PC, yes I set it to Outlook 2002/Xp etc there. Any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance to all.

Don't know if that helps, but I couldn't synchronize with the P800 before I upgraded my W2k to SP3. (Doesn't work with SP2). And it works fine now !! (except the second mobile number, see

Perhaps a similar action has to be taken with XP...
Cheers and Happy New Year !

Darn. Just checked. I already have the latest versions of Windows 2000 (and XP on another PC) installed. Any other ideas? Anyone?
