"Application" looked good, but I'm not shure about some of your other words.... :wink:

Your Axim has Pocket Outlook installed. If you install Outlook on your desktop PC, you can retrieve your Yahoo email (or wherever your email resides), then use Microsoft's ActiveSync to move that email into your Axim. This is a very common practice for nearly all PPC users! :)

lol, just noticed, school is coming i have to learn to spell again.
I have Microsoft Outlook on my XP Home box not Outlook Express and I have no idea how to set it up on just Outlook I found some guides for Express not for Outlook.

Can you point me in the direction of a guide?
Thanks in advance.

By golly, you should be ready to rock-n-roll, then!

If you've not already installed ActiveSync, then download it (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/downloads/pocketpc/activesync37.mspx)from Microsoft (or use your Dell CDROM that came with your Axim) and install it on your XP desktop. You actually need the full-featured Outlook, not Outlook Express, to synchronize between your desktop and your PPC.

I'm assuming you've configured Outlook to download your Hotmail (or whichever Internet email account you use) email into Outlook, correct?

Once you've installed ActiveSync, you should be pretty well set. There are configuration settings (and limitations) with ActiveSync, (as well as with Pocket Outlook), so don't expect the same experience on your PPC as reading email in Outlook on your desktop. But for most email, Pocket Outlook works fine (for me, anyway)!

If you have more questions, feel free to ask 'em! :)
