Synchronize with Outlook on the computer
Description:
These instructions provide information on how to synchronize the mobile device with Outlook on the computer. The Office of Information Technology (OIT) provides minimum support for Windows Mobile 5.0 or greater devices. No support is provided for devices with platforms less than Windows Mobile 5.0. OIT does not guarantee these instructions will always work as advertised, and cannot be held responsible for devices we do not support. In our example, we used a PDA running Windows Mobile 5.1.
