OL 2010 to OL 2009

[MinConst]

I have been using the Beta of Office 2010 and find I am in need of an
exchange account so I can sync my Moto Droid phone with Outlook. I can get
this through Go Daddy and they offer OL 2009 with the exchange account. My
question is will my OL 2010 contacts, appointments and such move back to the
2009 version with no issues?
Thank you.

There is no Outlook 2009. The version prior to Outlook 2010 is Outlook 2007.
The data files for both are compatible, so you can easily move the data from
one to the other. I don't see why you need to change to Outlook 2007 to
connect to the Exchange server GoDaddy is offering.

You may not need to pop for a hosted Exchange account. Add up the extra cost
you'll pay for that and compare it to the cost of this:

It claims to be able to sync the droid with Outlook via USB. Other
conversations I read indicate that Google Apps Premier (an extra cost) will
allow the droid and Outlook to sync without an Exchange server. Another tool
is being developed for droid/Outlook combos:

You don't need exchange - but you may need to use Outlook 2007 as most sync
tools do not work with the beta. Some add-ins will work with Outlook 2010
32 bit.

Who told you that Exchange was required? That a program supports Exchange
doesn't mean you have to use Exchange. Outlook supports Exchange, POP,
IMAP, HTTP/WebDAV (discontinued at Microsoft's servers), HTTP/Deltasync
(with Outlook Connector add-on), and SMTP. You never mention WHO is your
e-mail provider.

Some add-ins will work with Outlook 2010 32 bit.

and all other products are fully tested and compatible with Outlook 2010
(beta) 32 and 64 bit versions, Exchange Server 2010 and Microsoft Business
Contact Manager 2010.

We like to stay ahead!
