Outlook 2003 Requires ActiveSync 3.7 or Later
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q824116
Just a heads up for those that are going to be getting Outlook 2003 or Office 2003 in the coming months. You may receive synchronization errors if you have ActiveSync 3.6 or earlier on your PC. Be sure you've downloaded and installed ActiveSync 3.7 from Microsoft's Pocket PC.com download section.

Activesync 3.7 is much better than the previous versions in terms of stability and reliability, so it is worth updating!!!

I'm looking forward to Outlook 2003. From what I've seen it looks much improved.
Outlook from a UI point of view was looking rather dated.

Agreed! Outlook 2003 was the reason to move from Outlook Express as my E-Mail client to O2003. Before POP3/IMAP4 configuration was a pain and the GUI was super outdated - to much Exchange driven; now I love O2003 and would never went back to OE as Mail client.
Anyway - AS 3.7 is really worth to upgrade. The best AS I've seen so far in terms of stability (but for sure still not perfect).

Yes, AS 3.7 has been pretty good. A whole lot better than 3.6.
I could care less if they improved the looks of OutLook 2003, I wish they would add some nice simple little touches that every other email program out there has:
Like selecting text in the original message and hitting "reply" and only having the selected text quoted
Select where it places the quoted text, i.e. top or bottom of the reply text. Now it shoves the quoted text at the bottom of the reply, not at the top like most other email packages.
And lastly, take out ALL HTML support 
I hope 2003 adds some of those features above, but from what I've seen it does not. :?
Sorry, got a bit off topic, but OL burns me on complex it is but at the same time it lacks soooo many basic features...[/b]

I've been using Outlook 2003 for about 2 months now, and love it. It doesn't automatically display inline images in HTML mails, which is big for the privacy folks. I use it with an IMAP account, and it is much better over a dial-up link than XP. The rules wizard is much improved. And it looks nifty (although I think the new 3 paned view takes more screen real estate than older versions of Outlook, and would completely suck in portrait mode on a tablet.)
I can't remember if I went to AS 3.7 before or after I upgraded to 2003, but I am on it now, and haven't had any sync issues.
