Greetings,

Fresh palm convert here. I have searched the forum and read the FAQ, but I am not able to zero in on a PIM solution for my Curve 8310.

I would like to find a desktop (Win) editor for my Contacts and Tasks. I do not use Outlook (use Thunderbird). Both my taks and contacts are sensitive, so I would prefer not to synch them over the air, or put them on the work server.

I have tried ABC Ambler, but it only does contacts (not tasks) and the column headers are not even configurable. I am also not able to locate the ipd file, or are they having me actually open the file on the device itself? It seem like they want me editing the back up file...How would I then propagate the changes back to the mobile device? Confusing after living with the Palm/Windows Mobile paradigms.

I would be happy to pay for a desktop editor with a built in synch facility (contacts, tasks) and a clear way to synch, or a direct editing facility.
