Palm Desktop 4.2.1
Palm Desktop 4.2 Windows 10

Hello,
I bought a used Tungsten E on eBay. I find the Palm Desktop application OK overall, but there are a couple of things I don't like about it:
- Apparently, it's not possible to create non-timed items in the Calendar and have them be moved automatically to the next day until they're marked as Done
- It's not even possible to drag and drop non-timed items to move them manually to another day. The only way to do this, is to go to the current day, edit the item, and change the day. As this must be performed for each item, it's quite cumbersome :-/
Are there alternative PIM applications you would recommend, whether it's MS Outlook or something else?
FWIW, I used to use the venerable EccoPro, but stopped using it for Calendar as I couldn't get infos in the Palm to sync correctly with the PC with HoSync.
Thank you.

tungsten E can work with microsoft outlook. if you don't have the original CD for the device, you can purchase an application called pocketmirror from chapura. it's a good alternative as a replacement for palm outlook conduits that usually comes alongside the palm desktop software CD for palm devices.

Unable to open the month view for May in Palm desktop. My Palm Desktop will not open the May calendar in the month mode. I can access that month in either daily or weekly mode but not in the monthly one. May seems to be the only month that is affected. It opens properly on my Treo 680 but not on the desktop.

Is there an alternative to Palm Desktop which is able to import the Palm format directly? Palm Support offers no viable workaround for the problem with exporting vCal format. I want to switch to Studiometry, but it reads iCal format. iCal cannot import Palm format.
I tried importing a tab-delimited file into Entourage, hoping that could export a usable file, but the fields don't map correctly.
Anyone have some suggestions?
Thanks.

Thanks for any assistance.

Hi. Is there any chance that ACCESS might produce a version of the software that is immune to this problem. If it is due to data corruption, it would seem to me that this corruption is being caused by the ACCESS software. As far as I know, there is no other software on my system with access to these files. It seems to me that the software should either not create the corrupted records in the first place, or alternatively, be able to tolerate them. I would be happy to send you a dump of my calendar file if that would help to diagnose the problem (assuming I can ever open it again). Apps for mac free games. Thanks.
Is there (and if not, I think there should be) a list somewhere of email clients whose address books will sync with a palm Treo (palm Desktop version 6.2)? I have been happily using various palm handhelds for about 6 years now and have been syncing the address book with Mozilla and now Thunderbird for the last couple years. I currently have an m130, but it's time to upgrade to a 'smart phone' as I'm tiering of carrying around two devices. Unfortunately, the Treo requires palm Desktop version 6.2 which is not compatible with the Thunderbird palm sync. I have had the idea that Outlook (which I've never used or been exposed to) will sync with palm, but something I read gave me the impression that I would need to buy some third party software to make that happen, plus the $110 they want for Outlook. I would like to think there are other choices for someone who just wants to sync their smart phone with their email client's address book. It seems that such syncing ability would be esential to palm's sales and that a listing of all such syncing possibilities would be extremely beneficial to sales, particularly for new sales to people aren't already insiders on this sort of topic. The lack of ability to sync with Thunderbird may just cause me to stick with my old m130 awhile longer and give up on the idea of a nice new smart phone.

Wow, thanks a bunch! You just saved me from a long, involved, and discouraging search for an alternative. I'm using WindowsXP, palm m130, palm desktop 4.1, Thunderbird 2.0.0.21 and Thunderbird's palm sync conduit palmsync-2.0.0.x-wsm . I'm wanting to purchase a Treo 700 on ebay, but went to the palm site, clicked on the support link, then the Treo 700, then the downloads tab and it directed me to desktop 6.2, which made me believe I would have to use that to sync a treo 700.
I do wish that both palm and Thunderbird would talk more about the palm Thunderbird palm sync. Unless you're a real geek or very determined (I'm the later), you're not likely to find out that such capability exists. I can't believe I'm the only one out there who needs to have my email client address book contacts with me all the time, so there has to be others who are looking for this.
Next stop, ebay - I have a smart phone to buy.
Here's my problem. I haven't been able to sync with my elderly Palm IIIC for about 2 years. Now my daughter gave me her Palm Zire 31. All my data are in my Palm Desktop on my iMac G5. Somewhere along the way I tried using iSync and got a bunch of stuff in my Mac address book. So I did a hard reset on the Palm Zire 31, then successfully hot-synced on my G5. But my nice address from my Palm Desktop file isn't coming over, just the crummy one from the Mac address book I think. My Palm Desktop address file has all the names in categories etc. I have tried making sure I have the correct conduits for syncing with the Palm desktop, and I tried telling the Sync operation to override with the Mac contents. I just want to move all my address data from my Palm Desktop on my Mac to the Zire. Any help here?
If you want to move all of the address data from your Palm Desktop to your handheld organizer, there is only one way to do it: using the Palm-supplied conduits to do so, not iSync and it's built-in iSync Palm Conduit. The transfer of all of the data from the Palm Desktop, including categories, simply is not supported by iSync or the iSync Palm Conduit.
The Missing Sync for Palm OS is an alternative, but you have to plan carefully how you do this, as you must first move the data from the Palm Desktop to either your device—or, through an export/import process—directly into both iCal and the Address Book. iCal task data doesn't survive this process, only calendaring data. In either event, categories don't transfer.
You'll have to perform some manual categorization on both your device and in the Address Book, and iSync will not support these changes. It won't reverse or otherwise modify them, it simply won't synchronize them. This is the case because you must overwrite the data on your han
