Rick, While Outlook and Notes are clearly ahead of everyone else in terms of unified messaging and integrated, downloadable PIM functions, it's not all bleak for TB! First, TB!'s inbox can go into the Palm. It's not designed to do that, and the conduits won't support it, but Tim Musson (whose name I hope I didn't misspell too badly) has instructions in the Bat! archives on how to set the user configuration file to load TB! into a Palm. I do it all the time and it works. The AB is different. Personally, I would prefer to have something fully integrated like Outlook or Notes, but Outlook is not a good PIM, and Notes is only for larger or more complex organizations than I am. So I use Lotus Organizer, which is a really good PIM, and combine it with TB! Simple MAPI should make the Org AB work seamlessly in TB! (as it does in Eudora and Becky), but no such luck. So I import it into TB! But I also synch Organizer directly, so what results is this: My Palm has all my contacts and it has my inbox (sometimes attachments, too, but that's another story), as well as tasks, etc. TB! also has my contacts. It all works together very well, but it requires a love for this geeky stuff or else a clearly written guide. -- JN ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.60q FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://bt.ritlabs.com
