So, I recently got my HP Jornada 540 to work with a computer running windows XP. The only trouble I'm having with the sync is the e-mail. The only thing I can set up in outlook is a Microsoft Mail account. Which asks for a post-office and such. For me under the services tab, I cannot find the internet mail option, just other stuff that I really don't know how to use. I'm wondering if there is some sort of update I need to preform on the program that will give it the service. As of now, I'm going to attempt to use Outlook Express to Sync to it for e-mail.

Protocols have changed in the last 21 years. I'd avoid using Outlook 97 and use e-mail through the providers website if thats an option or maybe use Thunderbird if you can find an older version that supports XP to have your e-mail handled by that which is more secure and has newer protocol and security support to handshake to newer mail server services.

The problem is, Thunderbird will not work with the Jornada. I most likely wouldn't use it with my main e-mail account anyways. I was trying to find a free copy of Outlook 2000 as that does support internet mail, but to no avail. If anyone has any suggestions on a program that will work with the HP Jornada 540 as an email program, please feel free to share.
