Compatibility between Windows Mail and Mobile device centre?

[Tim 9901]

I'm trying to sync my PDA with my laptop (Vista os). When trying to select
contacts,calender,e-mail,tasks and notes for syncing I get a small window
appearing telling me that 'outlook has not been installed'.Does this mean
that windows mail is incompatible with mobile device centre? Am I able to
download outlook express onto vista to make it work? What do I need to do to
get my PDA fully working with my laptop? All help offered will be very much
appreciated.

Regards )

Neither OE or WM will sync mail with mobile.
You need Outlook installed, as the error says.

You used to sync your PDA with what on Win98? I don't
think the free email client (OE) ever had sync capabilities.

According to
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx
Windows Mobile Device Center requires Outlook 2003 or 2007 to
be on the PC.

Five years ago when I bought a PDA it came with a CD that had
a copy of Microsoft Outlook. Unfortunately, Outlook versions
older than '2003' don't work well on Vista.

Your PDA came with Outlook? Mine came with a software package that sync'ed
with Outlook. It was called "Intellisync Lite", synchronized Palm
applications with Outlook or Lotus Organizer, and came with my Clié
PEG-TJ35. I believe I tried it with Outlook 2003 recently and it worked
great. I could even get events from the Clié to my Windows Live Calendar.
