I just purchased a Palm Treo 750 (upgrading from 650) and had to switch from
the Palm software to using Outlook. I was able to get Microsoft Office
Professional from my school district since I am an employee and the phone
will be used for district. I am ready to throw it all out the window at this
point. I have installed the new version of Office and when I try to open
Outlook I get to a certain point (it gives me a little dialogue box about
updating information) it pops up with a box that says some junk about the
Microsoft exchange Server. In it there is a line with 'msn.pop3.email.com'
(no idea what this is or how it got there as I have never used Outlook or
email by Microsoft before) and the next line says 'Tracey.Amend'. Then it
says 'Check name' At the bottom the message says I need to check the name and
once it's checked and underlined, then it will work. Well, needless to say,
it won't work. It gives me a message about it not being online and not being
able to connect and work. If I hit 'cancel' instead, it closes out the entire
program.
Here's the kicker...I could care less about email! All I want to do is use
the darned calendar and be able to sync my calendar from phone to home to
school.
Can anyone walk me through this? Do I need to give more info? I tried the
Microsoft website but it told me my product number was invalid (yet I have
the brand new disk, with the product ID written on the back, handed to me by
our IT department yesterday with a signed agreement for employee use only).
I am honestly so frustrated by this I could cry...
Thanks in advance if you can help---
Frustrated beyond belief in Colorado....
