Ical, Missing Sync and Palm Treo 680

Most of 2007 was spent trying to get my Palm Lifedrive to Sync with iCal using Missing Sync version 5 thru 6. One day it was fine six days it was not. Nothing I have found to be more infuriating and frustrating as trying to sync my Palm with my Computer.
So, with the arrival of Leopard and the much promised improvements to Sync Services I decided to perform a Clean Install of Leopard on my Powerbook, and run just a few apps on my Powerbook leaving the rest on my new Mini Mac. At the same time I decided to upgrade my Palm Lifedrive to a Palm Treo 680. So, New OS, New Palm, Leopard ready Missing Sync.
1st Sync was spot on. All my data downloaded from .Mac for iCal and AB, sync'ed wonderfully with my Palm Treo. That was on January 7th. Since then iCal absolutely refuses to refresh. And already I am beginning to feel that 2008 and Syncing will be as frustrating as 2007.
Why cannot MarkSpace sit down with Apple and iron out all the crap. For the last couple of days I though I would see if iCal was not communicating with SyncServices by using Entourage. But this only synced with AB and did not touch iCal. To do this I had to use iSync and during the first sync only 144 of 1456 addresses were left on my Palm! iCal - no change!!
So I dumped iSync/Entourage and went back to Missing Sync own Conduits. I got my AB entries back but absolutely nothing from iCal
When I wiped my Powerbook, I cloned the hardrive. Whilst routing around, I found a folder called FileServices in ~libray. This folder was over 12gig in size. What is this folder for and why was it so big? This could explain why my Backup Sets were getting increasing larger than my actual Hardrive even though I was peforming just a daily incremental backup!
Back to iCal. Is there any reason why iCal will not refresh after a so called successful sync with my Treo 680 via Missing Sync v6.0.2?

You might have better luck getting support at Mark/Space the makers of the program. http://support.markspace.com
I did briefly look around there and found this article, not sure if its related to your issue or not.

ISync Failure working with Missing Sync and Palm Lifedrive

Since the begining of March I have failed to peform a sync between my Palm and G4 Powerbook via Missing Sync v5.2.1
What happens is that a Sync is launched from my Palm cradle which is picked up by my G4, the dialogie suggests that things are being synchronised, but at the end on viewing my Sync History, I get errors reporting that databases on my palm can't be opened. Missing Syncs own conduits for iCal and AB report that they have been 'unregistered'.
Last night I attempted a sync with just 1 conduit active at a time and all failed.
I bought BackUpBuddy, but this two has failed to sync.
Markspace have suggested that I 'reset sync histories' which I have attempted to do. For this I need to open iSync first, however iSync quits during launch.
Anybody got any ideas on how to resolve this? TIA

Now that the response is reposted above, this thread makes more sense…
The (0x400a) errors generally, coupled with an inability to open files on your handheld, suggests that you have insufficient memory on board to perform these tasks. There are several other issues involved, however, so you should address each one by simplifying your configuration to avoid the most obvious ones.
For the time being, turn off the following conduits which do not report errors:
• Install
• Life Balance
• Mark/Space Conduit for iTunes
• Mark/Space Conduit for iTunes
• ChronosNotes
• BackupBuddy
Do that simply by un-checking them in the main window of the Missing Sync for Palm OS. You might want to attempt once again to synchronize, just to determine if anything has changed as a result of turning off these working conduits.
Also, turn off the following failing conduits:
• Mark/Space Folder Sync
• Voice Memo
• Documents To Go*
• Media
• Trip
Some may be incompatible with your your LifeDrive, or not properly configured for use with it. See the article below, for example, with regard to the Mark/Space Folder Sync conduit with it:
http://www.markspace.com/support/kb.php?x=&mod_id=2&id=2553
To avoid some obvious problems with your LifeDrive and the conduits presently installed, you should install the LifeDrive Update 2.0 is you have not already done so. *Among other things, it contains a Documents to Go update:
http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/lifedrive/lifedrive_update.html
You must follow the instructions provided by Palm carefully, as the procedure removes all of the data from your device. Insure that your data is backed up elsewhere before performing this update.
Before attempting to update your LifeDrive, follow these instructions to determine if you need to:
Find out if your LifeDrive device includes the latest LifeDrive Update software
• on your LifeDrive, press <Home> twice, until the Applications Launcher—not Favorites—appears
• tap <Menu>
• from the <App> menu, select <Info>
• at the bottom of the screen, select <Version>
Look for the application named WiFiLib [HINT: scroll down below the <Wi-Fi> items to <WiFi> with no hyphen.]
If the version number is…
• 1.0.6, 1.0.5 or below: you don't have the latest LifeDrive update. Install it
• 1.0.7: you already have the latest LifeDrive Update. Do not install it again.
Had you not needed to install this update and perform the resulting reset, I would have recommended that you perform a soft reset to see if that procedure resolves any of your issues.

Separate Palm desktop installs for Palm M505 and its apps and Palm Treo 680 and its apps on same Windows XP computer?

Hello:
I'm trying to do a workaround. I've got a Palm M505 that has a terrific keyboard that hooks up to it. This lets me write documents in a very portable way. The Treo 680 never had the equivalent, really full-sized external keyboard made compatible with it. So, I want to create documents on the M505 but otherwise mostly use the Treo 680.
Here's the rub. When I tried to sync both devices to my Palm Desktop version 4.1.2 for Windows XP, it didn't work. Hotsync tries to synchronize apps that won't work on the M505. Also, the versions of Documents to Go are very different (5.x versus 8.x).
I would love to have a separate Palm Desktop installation for each device, so I can have a nice desktop environment for each by launching them separately. But, the Palm Desktop installation "wizard" shuts down and won't give me the opportunity to do a separate Desktop install.
Any ideas other than buying an ultra-small laptop and dropping this kludgy scheme? For instance, if I were to copy the installed files from one directory to another, would this work, or would it not be set up in the Registry?
Thanks!

Okay. Stubbornness pays off! I was able to beam documents between my Palm M505 and Treo 680, avoiding the need for complicated syncing of both Palms to my laptop machine. I was also able to beam documents from both Palms to my Dell Inspiron M300 laptop, running Windows XP Pro.
When beaming between Palm devices, the results were better. In the M505, Documents to Go version 5.004 doesn't translate documents into Microsoft Word format but into something it calls Word to Go. The Treo has DTG version 8.003, which is able to read files in Word to Go format and save in native Microsoft Word for Windows format.
However, even when beaming a Word to Go (old format) document directly onto the Desktop of my Windows XP machine, it gave me a document I could open, with the text I'd input following a bunch of characters Word obviously didn't understand. If I add the file from my desktop to the newer Documents to Go version on my laptop, I expect it will translate it into a Word file when it syncs to the Treo but haven't tested that. In either case, beaming between Palm devices is the easiest solution and completely solves the problem.
For any readers who are interested, the reason I've so stubbornly tried to solve this problem is that I'm a fast touch typist. My old Palm M505 plugs directly into a wonderful, old Palm Portable Keyboard that is full-sized. Because it's a hard-wired connection, I can type fast. That old keyboard compresses into the same folded footprint as some new foldover external keyboards. It does this even though much bigger by folding in an accordian-like fashion, with four flat surfaces folder together. That keyboard design now exists in some of the keyboards sold by IGo corporation (their old name for it was Sierra Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard). But, they were unable to figure out how to handshake their Bluetooth with the odd Bluetooth configuation in the Treo 680. Why Palm made the Bluetooth library different in the Treo 680 from other Treos is a mystery to me, but enough of this tangent. Some interested in this workaround may be curious for similar reasons.

Missing Sync and my Treo 700wx

I have read through these forums many times and found them very helpful. I thought that I would post this in order to try to help others who are struggling to make their phones talk to their computers via bluetooth.
I had, up until recently, been using the USB sync cable that came with my phone along with Missing Sync. This worked flawlessly with the latest version of both MS and OSX. The problem? I...uh...got a little bit of chocolate in the connector at the bottom of my phone. Now my connection is patchy at best.
So I have been using the Bluetooth connection instead.
In order to get my phone to connect to my computer I:
1) Enabled the Bluetooth on both my computer and my phone. On the phone I made my device "discoverable"
2) Initiated a connection from my Macbook and paired the devices. (Be sure to use the "Symbol Lock", or just push the black square button each time you need a number, otherwise the phone will type letters instead of the numbers that your Macbook made up for the pairing code)
3) Went through the connection screens...
Once the phone was connected, the trick was getting the phone to allow Missing Sync to talk to it. I figured out that my ActiveSync, which I also have connecting to my work server to sync my email and contacts, was set to use my phone connection. While this is good in general, it interfered with my Bluetooth connection. I told ActiveSync to use Bluetooth to sync everything. Then I hit the Sync option on my phone.
Missing Sync began to start up and whala! Connected. I was then able to Mount the phone and browse the folders, etc. I can send files, music, anything I want to my phone now.
I hope this helps someone else.
+When you are finished syncing, be sure to turn off your Bluetooth. Otherwise your battery on your phone will not last long.+

What service do you have? I have Sprint. I don't know if that matters at all, but I am still unable to connect. I have gone through everything a few times and it connects for a few seconds to ask me to check which services I want to use. The only option I ever get is to use my phone to connect to the internet through my phone's data connection. Even when I select that, my mac never stays connected. Any thoughts? Is there some service/update I need to download and install from Palm?
The two devices always pair successfully but will never stay connected for me to open and even try to use missing sync.
Thanks for the help!

Synchronizing Palm Treo 680 Unlocked with Outlook 2003 on Windows 7

After 2 full install and reinstall of Palm 6.2 I cannot synch my Outlook 2003 and Palm Treo 680
Hotsynch Journal says everything has synchronized correctly but new meetings and task changes in one platform do not appear on other platform.
There is an error mentioned for file PmTrcae Database (Protocol error 4004)
I must mention that Installation process seems to drop after announcing that first hotsynch will be performed, it never does, I had to start it manually from the Treo.
Will there be a proper Windows 7 version published?

Palm Treo 680's Chinese and English datas + HotSync + Mac OS X?

Hello!
I am wondering if it is safe to get an Apple MacBook Pro for a client
who uses a Palm Treo 680 with English and Chinese datas (with CJKOS --
http://www.dyts.com/en/cjkos.html ). Currently, he uses his Windows
2000 SP4 on his old Dell Optiplex PC and Hotsync (via USB) his datas.
It has MS IME and TwinBridge to read and write Chinese characters.
Is he going to have any problems if he were to buy a new MacBook Pro
with the latest Mac OS X? I read that he will need a third party
softwares (Missing Sync for Palm v6.0 --
http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_palmos.php [not free] and Palm
Encoding Setup -- http://lokiware.info/Palm-Encoding-Setup ). I was
told that using Palm Desktop is messy and complex. Also, is it safe to
mix both PC and Mac to share Palm datas? All these third parties and
fancy setups seems complex for a guy who doesn't know computers well.
Thank you in advance.

I have no experience with using a handheld with chinese character sets, but mac osx will natively support a range of chinese and japanese character sets. The best place to go is contact apple and check the correct sets are supported.
As for how messy etc palm desktop is, some people love it and others can't stand it. Personally I don't mind it but for people who have the same set of contacts they sync with isync and palm desktop I can see it getting very annoying even with missing sync (which I don't have). I'd recommend you find someone with a mac and actually have a go with it before you make any definite decisions you could regret.

WOES: iSync, Palm Pilot, iCal, Missing Sync, Palm Desktop, Ericsson Phone

Here's my situation, I've been a long time Palm user, and fairly recently (within a year) a new Mac user. I've always used the Palm Desktop on my PC in the past. I've had a Palm Vx for years, and fairly recently (within a year) I bought a Palm Zire 72 and a Sony Ericsson S170a cell phone. I also have an iPod Photo.
I really would like to sync up my address book, calendars, memos, maybe even photos, with all my devices. I tried using iSync, but nothing seam to work right, so I tried a million things, now everything is messed up.
For right now, I'm just trying to get my Palm Pilot, the Mac, and the Phone to have all the same calendar events (w the correect times, alarms, colors, and groups).
I'm really frustrated with trying to get the mac's iCal, the palm pilot, the phone to all have the same calendar info. I really like iCal, and the mac address book, and how well it works with the mail app. As well as subscribing to shared iCals. Especially the holiday ones! I use to have to enter all that info by hand, and have them "other" repeater. The Palm Desktop software's calendar and address book is pretty clunky compared to the Mac apps, or even the Palm Desktop for the PC. But everything is messed up now. I even tried the "missing sync" software and it messed it up even worse.
Several of my cal events are now GONE from iCal, my Palm Pilot, and my Phone! Many of them have duplicates, some have wrong times. Some have right groups, some don't. The ones that do have right groups, don't have any colors applied to them. If I create certain calendars on the mac and sync with the palm, the groups do not come over. If I create them on the Palm, the groups don't come over on the mac. Getting the colors/groups to match, and all 3 items to sync all at once is a nightmare as well. There were a million conflicts, and chose the correct ones, but some of them would NOT let me pick the one I wanted, it would just keep on saying "conflict".
What would AT LEAST get me back to the original info on the Palm and the Mac would be to restore from my Palm Desktop software, but I can't get to that because it looks like the missing sync software has messed the conduit/hot sync manager up. I can no longer get to my Palm Desktop condiut settings. I'd re-install the palm software to get it back, but I will probably loose all the data stored in Palm Desktop. This is the ONLY place that has the correct info right now. I'm varry warry about loosing that information. I use to have the PC copy, and the Palm Copy, and it was all right. The Palm Desktop has an import/export feature, but it doesn't seam to carry all the info (like notes attatched to cal events).
Also, has anyone tried to RESTORE a Palm Pilot not using the Palm Desktop software? When I had to reset my Palm, I tried using iSync or even missing sync to get all my apps, settings, calendars, address books, everything, but it never put the info back on the Palm. This info was always restored with Palm Desktop.
And let's just say I DO get back all my calendar items back into the Palm, and the Palm Desktop software up and running correctly. What is the proper way to do what I was trying to do in the begining? Which was "just have my Palm Pilot, the Mac, and the Phone to have all the same calendar events (w the right times, alarms, colors, and groups)." I don't seam to have too many problems with contacts. Except work/home fields seam to swap all the time.
What I'm running:
G4 PowerMac w/ Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.3)
Palm Pilot Zire 72s (Palm Software v5.2.8)
Missing Sync (v5.0.3)
Palm Desktop Mac (v4.2.1)
Sony Ericsson S170a Cell Phone
iPod Photo 60GB
G4 PowerMac Mac OS X (10.4.3) Palm Pilot Zire 72s (Palm Software v5.2.8), Missing Sync (v5.0.3), Palm Desktop Mac (v4.2.1), Sony

Where to start? Maybe with some background about the synchronization process.
What Apple hasn't explained outside of the developer community is that you are not actually synchronizing applications [like iCal or the Address Book] or servers [like .Mac] or devices [like your mobile handset or a Palm organizer] when you initiate a synchronization. What you are really doing is triggering an interaction with one or more of these and the SyncServices engine, which maintains what is termed the 'truth database'—or simply, the 'truth'—to which is pushed, or from which is pulled, the current state of data maintained in fields and records for one or more specific data types. Because of the way this process works, it is not necessary to have all synchronized devices available or attached when a synchronization event occurs.
You can synchronize your SONY Ericsson S710a, a process which exchanges the most current data maintained in the truth with it, and hours later, plug in your iPod, an action which will trigger iTunes to pull the latest data from the truth and write it to the iPod, updating your contact and calendaring records. The same is true for other applications, servers and devices.
While it all seems clumsy and confusing, it is actually a huge step forward in making synchronization nearly automatic, almost transparent, and virtually mistake proof. It's clear that there is some distance to go before those objectives are achieved, but SyncServices is actually a huge improvement over the prior synchronization technology in iSync 1.5 and earlier.
That said, there are bugs in SyncServices, and in the applications written by several developers to take advantage of it, along with issues in at least iCal, and probably the Address Book, that complicate what you are trying to achieve. It's possible to do, and once working, should work nearly flawlessly. But, it takes some planning to get there.
First, a word about backing up your data. It's a good idea to periodically back up contact and calendaring records using the facilities built into iCal and the Address Book which appear in the File menu of each application. These options make easily restorable local snapshots of your data. Should something go terribly wrong with a synchronization event, you can immediately restore your iCal or Address Book data from these files. In addition, it's a good idea to have a more comprehensive backup plan in place, using Backup and .Mac, Backup and rewritable media, and so on.
To synchronize photos, music and other media files, you'll need to use the Missing Sync for Palm OS. iSync just does not support anything beyond contact, calendaring and task data. To begin the process, you should simplify your device pool, initially concentrating only on getting a complete, accurate set of contact, event and task records pushed to the truth from the Address Book and iCal, and onto your Palm.
You will have to take an inventory of where the best records reside, and insure that you get them into iCal and the Address Book before attempting to synchronize your Palm, because to do it properly, initially, you will have to overwrite the data on your Palm, replacing it with records from iCal and the Address Book. If you're going to edit them by making additions, changes and deletions, perform all of those in iCal and the Address Book until you have synchronized your Palm device or devices with them. Backup before performing the initial synchronization, and be sure to overwrite each Palm device the first time.
If you want a historic snapshot of the data on either Palm device before doing this, first follow the instructions provided by Mark/Space to use the standard Palm conduits instead of Mark/Space Contacts, Events and Tasks, and be sure to set each Palm conduit to Palm overwrites handheld in order to transfer the data from your Palm Vx and Zire 72 to the Palm Desktop. Once there, those records can be exported as vCard and vCal files, and easily imported into the Address Book and iCal if you wish to do that. Edit them as you see fit, once they have been transfered. If you elect to do that, you must thereafter turn off these Palm conduits and reconfigure the Missing Sync to use the Mark/Space conduits, again choosing to have your computer replace the contents on each Palm device on the first synchronization.
Once you've achieved a 'balance' with the records in iCal, the Address Book and your handheld organizers, you can reset the records on your mobile handset. iSync alone performs this function, and later synchronization events with your SONY Ericsson S710a will always be manually triggered, and performed using iSync, not the Missing Sync. Reset once, and subsequently synchronize.
Anything else you want to add to the mix—.Mac Sync, for example—you can then add, initially performing a reset of your .Mac data, then subsequently synchronizing.
Synchronization of your iPod is handled by iTunes and only pulls data from the truth, so it need not be reset, as it cannot write changes to the truth which would adversely affect your other devices.

Gave up and bought Missing Sync for Palm OS

I finally gave up on Leopard ever being able to sync directly with my Palm Treo 650 and bought Mark/Space's Missing Sync for Palm OS ($39.95).
After an hour or so of experimenting with Missing Sync, I'm happy that my Treo and Leopard-loaded Mac are in accurate sync.
It's been very frustrating that Apple and Palm have not fixed this.

today the support person at palm suggested that i purchase missing sync if i wanted to use my leopard mac with the palm (she said they are working on a fix, but don't know when it will be out) -- so i am probably going to do that. how difficult was it to get missing sync to work?

Palm Tree 755p + iSync/Missing Sync for Palm/iSync Conduit 1.2

I'm lost! Being stuck with a new Palm Treo 755p instead of the iPhone until my contract runs out. How do I get my Treo to sync with my Mac? There's iSync, iSync Conduit 1.2 and even Missing Sync for Palm. I'm willing to pay anything just to get things to sync with the Treo & iBook. But, after reading anything and everything I can find even on Discussions ... I'm more confused than ever.
Can anyone tell me what the real difference is between Missing Sync for Palm vs. iSync & iSync Conduit 1.2?
If I had that rebate check from uncle Sam maybe I'd go out and pay off Sprint to get out of my 2 year contract and then buy an iPhone, LOL. Oh, that's right we don't get the check until summer
Any help is appreciated.

OK, I finally broke down and purchased "Missing Sync," after waiting for Apple to fix this problem. I'm sorry to say that "Missing Sync" does NOT solve this issue completely. It will sync the Address book, but will NOT work with iCal.
Apparently, "Mark/Space" (the makers of "Missing Sync") are aware of the problems, have identified the problem as Apple's, and reported it to Apple. Here are some of the issues noted on the "Mark/Space" web-page...
"This article describes situations under which The Missing Sync may report errors or perfomance issues. One error message is specific to iCal (part of Apple's Mac OS X operating system) and describes errors from iCal that are affecting the ability of The Missing Sync from performing sync functions properly."
"In certain situations, The Missing Sync reports an error message titled 'iCal Sync Errors'. This error is often caused when iCal is attempting to share data with Sync Services. Although this error has little to do with handheld devices, it affects the ability to sync data to or from those devices as Sync Services functions are compromised."
"THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO APPLE, INC. BY MARK/SPACE."
"Errors that are not reported in The Missing Sync log may be found in the Console.log file."
"Here are some of the error messages you may see in the Console:
iSDSqliteRecordMapper
SQLite locking issue
iSynceConcreteSession
NSInvalidArgumentException
ICalExternalSync
ISyncInvalidRecordException
These error are generated by Sync Services and reported to The Missing Sync."
So, for those of you hoping that "Missing Sync" will solve the problems we are having with various hand-helds, and/or cell phones, it doesn't completely. I am a huge fan of Mark/Space's "The Missing Sync" and have used it many times throughout the years. It's a great piece of software that does a whole lot more than iSync ever has, but it does NOT solve all of the problems that are being reported all over this forum in regards to iSync issues and hand-helds/cell phones.

No, there is nothing published - that I am aware of - other than the Missing Sync User Guide that you received [as portable document format file] when you purchased the Missing Sync for Palm OS.
There is some developer documentation available from Apple, but it has little direct bearing on anything like the issue you are seeing. Your crash logs should have provided an indication of what was going on, and - using them - Mark/Space should have been able to identify your issue pretty easily.
It's very difficult to troubleshoot unusual issues remotely. Common problems - which can be easily identified - are readily corrected just by following the instructions posted by some knowledgable person here in the Apple Discussions forums. Given the unique circumstances you report of total failure following the installation of the Missing Sync, it's very likely that the actual culprit in your configuration is NOT the Palm desktop, iSync, .Mac Sync, the Missing Sync for Palm OS or your Treo 600. Something unique about your configuration is likely responsible. Trying to eliminate the variables, though, is not an easy task.
One relatively easy way to troubleshoot such issues is to create a new user, reinstall the Missing Sync and attempt to synchronize using that new user account. If that process is successful, you'll immediately know that something involving your existing user account is responsible for the issue.

After Hotsynching a Palm Treo 680, its Hotsynch stuck in loop, lock ups, etc.

Hello,
My father is having problem with his Palm Treo 680 (unlocked). Before the incident, he Hotsynched between his Treo and his Dell Optiplex machine (Windows 2000 SP4 with all updates; USB connection).
The PDA went stuck in a Hotsynch screen on the PDA even if it is disconnected and hard resetted (battery removal since there is no hole). Eventually, the issue stopped (don't know what he did). However, there are still random lock ups and the looping Hotsynch again (no specific times and patterns). Also removing the extra memory cards didn't help either. Also, he reported that his phone didsn't ring either from incoming calls.
Does anyone know what's going on? Is the PDA dying since he uses it daily all almost all day when he is awake? His warranty expired already, he said. It seems like a lot of people had problems from my Google searches.
FYI if it helps, the Hotsynch logs BEFORE the problems (he didn't install anything new -- only data changes and updates): http://pastebin.ca/678475
Thank you in advance.

If you hit the BLACK button between the letters A, S and Z and then hit the letter S you will get a dash sign, then all you have to do is hit the ALT next to the letters N, M and drop down menu button. From there you can select all the character that you want including the underscore sign.

Can i really update my unlocked palm treo 680?

According to the link below, that's the software update for palm treo 680 unlocked, but the instruccion says that if i go to Phone-Menu-Options-Phone-Info-Software, and it says Treo680-1.03-CNG or Treo680-1.03-ATT, the software is not compatible with my device. The thing is that the software says Treo680-1.03-CNG, but it's unlocked. So, is the software update compatible with my treo or not?

Post relates to: Treo 680 (Unlocked GSM)

If you have the Treo680-1.03-CNG rom in your Treo, it is an AT&T branded Treo that was unlocked. It is not a true unlocked Treo. For an unlocked Treo that is unlocked from the factory, it will have a software version of XXX-ROW. ROW means Rest Of World.
For your Treo, you need the AT&T update. You can find it here;
http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/10580_en.html
The only caveat here is that once you upgrade the software, you will need to have the Treo unlocked again. There are sites on the internet that offer this service or if you had the Treo unlocked before, contact the company that unlocked the Treo for you.

If the file is in .WMA then did you get it off your harddrive or directly from a CD. Basically my question is how did you obtain the music that you have now on your Palm?
Also what player or what version of the player do you have on your 680?

Palm treo 680 Problems with hotmail account

I have a palm treo 680, have Problems with hotmail account, dont have configuration in versamail and when enter with the browser dont open documents, photos or videos. Thanks

IIRC, Hotmail is like Yahoo's free email - you have to pay for POP access.
If you aren't paying for a premium version of HotMail, it won't work correctly with VersaMail.
