Windows Vista has built-in programs for email, contacts and calendar, so why can’t Windows Mobile devices sync with these solutions?  As it stands, Windows Mobile can only sync with Microsoft’s  Outlook.  The answer is simple: Microsoft wants you to buy Outlook.

Well, now you can sync your Windows Mobile 5 or 6 (touchscreen and non-touchscreen) Smartphones with Windows Mail, Windows Calendar and Windows Contacts in Vista (as well as Outlook Express in XP) with Sync Express 4. 

Sync Express 4 is a sync plug-in for ActiveSync and Windows Mobile Device Center which expands your syncing options to include select built-in Windows PIM applications. 

If syncing with Windows Vista’s Mail, Contacts and Calendar apps is something you’re interested in, give SyncExpress 4 a go.  It’s free to try for 30 days.
