Hey guys, I recently installed Microsoft Outlook 2007 and couldn't sync with my MPx220. I did some digging and found the following page:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923931

"This problem occurs when Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 software for Pocket PCs is not installed on the Windows Mobile-based device. Outlook 2007 is supported only by Windows Mobile-based devices."

Does that sound like only Window Mobile 5.0 is supported with Outlook 2007? Did I just %*@$ myself? Looks like I'm forced to upgrade to a phone now with Windows Mobile 5.0?

Update: Looks like there is no ActiveSync version fully compatible with Outlook 2007? (http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/act...limitations.htm)
ActiveSync 4.2 or earlier is not fully compatible with Outlook 2007. Users have reported problems synchronizing the Notes field for Calendar, Contacts, Tasks as well as the Notes item type. At this time there is no version of ActiveSync that fully supports Outlook 2007.

Installing ActiveSync 4.5 beta solved everything for me.

ActiveSync 4.2 works fine for me with Office 2007 (both Outlook and OneNote sync)

Outlook 2007 still is very bugggy - I have it running on vista and xp computers - i hope they fix it before the official release.

I have no issues at all with syncing Outlook 2007 on XP Pro with Activesync 4.2. On a lighter note, Vista Ultimate on my home pc found the 3125 with out issues and syncs fine with Outlook 2007 also.
