Hello,

I've got a new Dell Axim x51 that runs Mobile 2005. Unfortunately, my workplace uses Oracle Calendar 10.1.2, and their sync program still does not work with Activesync 4.1. Is it possible to use Activesync 3.8 with this PDA? If so, how?

This is what I've done so far:

Remove AS 4.1
Install AS 3.8
AS asks me to plug in the PDA. I do so.
AS sits there trying to communicate and always fails. Can communicate fine with 4.1.
Lather, rinse, repeat, give up and reinstall 4.1.

It works, sort of, to have OCal export to vcal and then have Outlook import the file into its main calendar, but that's annoyingly manual. Using OCal's Outlook conduit tool doesn't work, because Activesync will only sync the main Outlook calendar and the conduit creates a separate calendar within Outlook.

Unfortunately for you, your x51 is running WM 2005, which does require AS 4 or higher.
