I have a handheld Axim X5. When I bought this I was told that I could
synchronise it with my home computer and there would be an exchange of my
emails between the handheld and the home computer.

This would mean that after synchronisation I could read my emails from my
handheld and compose replies. These replies would be sent the next time I
synchronised the handheld with my home computer.

However, I use Hotmail and though I can manage this through Outlook, I have
never been able to synchronise it with my mobile Axim X5.

I would appreciate advice; of a constructive kind.
