I am not familiar with either one, but I suspect that they cannot do
Extended MAPI (either because of the language limitation, as in VB, or
because there are no MAPI headers).
That limits you to using the Outlook Object Model. OOM does not provide any
synchronization specific features (unlike Extended MAPI, which provides the
Incremental Synchronization API for the Exchange stores), so you have no
other choice but to do synchronization using brute force - loop thrrough all
the items in a folder and figure out whether each item was added or modified
since the previous sync.

Hello Dmitry,

Thanks for your reaction.

I'd like to develop a synchronisation with Outlook. I have a developed a
software which has a quite sophisticated(?) calender.

Because my customers ask me for synchronisation with a PDA or a mobile,
it seems to be that Outlook is the ideal tool to be used as a bridge
between my software and a PDA or a mobile.

Right now I can send mails from my software to Outlook, using OLE.

But I have a need for :
- synchronisation with the Outlook calender
- synchronisation with the Outlook contacts
- reading the emails in the inbox.

The solutions for these needs has to be able to use PST, as well as
Exchange.

Can you tell me how to establish my goals ?

Thank you very much in advance for trying to help me.

Have a nice weekend.

Hallo,

Is there somebody who has some experience in programming a
synchronisation with Outlook ?

If yes, how can I program such a synchronisation ?

Or can someone tell me where I can get some more information ?

Thanks.
