sync windows mail to Blackberry

[Paul Dennis]

Can anyone tell me how I can sync my blackberry to windows mail (Vista). The
blackberry desktop software doesn't seem to support windows mail. Thx Paul

Then use a supported Mail Client software supported by the Blackberry, such
as Microsoft Outlook or Lotus Notes.

Thx Andre, can I install Outlook in my Vista environment or do I have to
install XP? If I can use outlook with vista how do I load outlook?

Thx Paul

Hi, Paul.

I know nothing of Blackberry or any other PDA, but...

Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office, but it also can be purchased and
installed separately, either from Microsoft or from just about any computer
store in the world - or even Wal*Mart. And it will install on any version
of Windows from at least the past decade, including Vista, although some
versions (Outlook 97, for example) might need special treatment.

But Outlook 2007 will easily install in Vista.

No need for Windows XP at all, just purchase a copy of Microsoft Outlook if
you don't own one already and install on Windows Vista and then install any
software that came with your Blackberry device and you should be able to
sync just fine.

I just purchased BB 8310 from AT*T a few days ago and having the same
problem. The AT*T Tech stated Blackberry still has a few VISTA issues and
this is one of them. They have a Beta 4.2 Blackberry software update that may
be released when that process is completed to address some of these Vista
issues. Microsoft updated version of Express in Vista is called Windows
Calendar/Mail. Thus BB software will not recognize that with the 4.2 version
they have now. It works with Outlook Express, but why would you want to buy
Outlook Express when you have it with your Vista in the newer format?
Personal Decision, but sharing with what I learned today. So I have to wait a
little while longer. Most Blackberry users are with businesses who are still
with Windoes XP and that is why there are no great solutions yet to our
problems. ;-)
