Outlook 2000 came with my PDA, and installed under Windows ME the Tools menu
has "Windows CE Inbox Transfer . . ." as an option. On my new XP machine with
the same Outlook 2000 installed, there is no such item anywhere on the menus.
This is exactly the same binary! Is there some hidden configuration option to
add it to the menu? Does XP change the menus for some reason? Now I have no
way of sending emails to my Cassiopeia's CE inbox.

I'm using Outlook 2003 on an XP system and that menu item is there. Do you
have ActiveSync installed?

Yes, version 4.1. I haven't upgraded to Outlook 2003 because I
haven't found a way to buy only that app and not the rest of Office,
which I don't need. I did install ActiveSync and Outlook in the
order that was recommended. I suppose I could try a reinstall to see
if that triggers this option. -- Daron Bradford

With a Casseopeia, I'd stick to ActiveSync 3.8.

I appreciate your help. ActiveSync 4.1 works fine, but I still don't get the
Windows CE option in Outlook. That's the real problem. I'm going to try a
reinstall, and maybe the presence of ActiveSync will add the right menu
options.

I deleted ActiveSync 4.1 per Brian's recommendation and installed v3.8 last
night. Nothing seemed to change, but today the "Windows CE Inbox Transfer"
menu showed up. Problem solved, but who knows why? Thanks -- Daron Bradford
