Yes, you can sync your Pre with virtually email account. I sync with POP3 and IMAP email accounts from a local ISP. I do nothing with Google other than to use it for googling things.
A lot of people are syncing with Google stuff for email, contacts, etc. I don't understand why they'd want to do that as I want to have my information on my own PC. I agree with your observation that Palm seems to be suggesting that path as the preferred one, but obviously you don't have to do it that way. To sync with Outlook on my personal PC, I use Chapura Pocket Mirror. Works great, and their Notes and Tasks app are far superior to the ones that come on the Pre. (Note: The built-in Pre Notes and Tasks don't sync with anything.) Pocket Mirror works via wi-fi. CompanionLink is an alternative app you can use, but it requires a USB cable to sync. Pocket Mirror only syncs with Outlook, but CompanionLink syncs with Palm Desktop (and perhaps Outlook as well, but I'm not sure). I've mentioned this several times on this forum, Chapura has provided me excellent and rapid responses when I've needed help with Pocket Mirror.

I synch now with a cable and have my contacts and memos in Outlook. I have my personal email in my Comcast email - a Pop account. Am I correct I can set my Pre to synch with that email account? I don't want to have to move to Google but the web page seems to be suggesting that option. I see I can purchase PocketMirror from Chapura but I want to try the free options, first.
