I did a google search for syncing my hotmail account on my palm (alright, handsrping) and came up with a couple of ‘do it on avantgo’ methods, none of which work. I realize that there is no ‘direct’ way to do this, but there has to be _a_ way…right? Right?

Do you have a wireless unit? If so, I use ThinAir ([www.thinairapps.com](http://www.thinairapps.com)) to get email and it works great.

If you’re looking to sync a non-wireless unit with your computer, I don’t know.

Non-wireless. I just got rid of my Palm VII because the screen was dying, and the service was a bit pricey.

I seem to be able to move a message from the inbox of the hotmail account to the inbox of the non-hotmail account, but I can’t set a message rule to automatically do the transfer for me.
