→Sync with PPC through ActiveSync is possible
| Line 83: | Line 83: | ||
As a Firefox and Thunderbird user who also has a Pocket PC, this project is very interesting to me. After some research with making programs that can sync using ActiveSync, I have discovered that it is possible. (Un)Fortunately to make this work, a version of Thunderbird would have to be created to run on the PPC. There may be some sort of hack that can be done just by writing DLLs for Thunderbird and possibly having to rewrite the ones for Outlook on the PPC. This page should give you the information needed to accomplish this. As a programmer I would be interesting in helping but am not sure how much time I would have to devote to this project. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnce21/html/ActiveSync.asp?frame=true | As a Firefox and Thunderbird user who also has a Pocket PC, this project is very interesting to me.

It might not be so complex - That MSDN article suggests you need something on the PPC and something on the PC that can talk to each other via ActiveSync - so all you'd need is a Thunderbird plugin on the PC that can access the user's TB contacts/calendar, and something on the PPC that can access the PPC's contacts/calendar, then you should be a able to sync one with the other [[User:Benjymous|--benjymous]] | |||
