Pocket PCs come with an installation CD for Microsoft Outlook. You'll need to install it if it's not already on your PC.

You can migrate from Palm Desktop to Outlook without spending any money, but the process requires some extra effort. You'll need two software CDs: the one that came with your new Pocket PC and the one that came with your Palm.

Install Outlook
All Pocket PCs come with some version of Outlook; the latest models generally include Outlook 2002. Unless you already have this or a newer version on your PC, install the program from your PDA's software CD. When that's done, run Outlook at least once before proceeding to the next step.

Tip
Whatever version of Outlook ends up on your PC, make sure to install the latest updates. They're available for download from Microsoft's Office Online site.
