I believe the context was for PIM data, not email. The Tilt, being a
WinMob device, will natively sync the calendar, contacts, notes and
tasks to Outlook.

Several years ago, I switched to using Outlook for my desktop PIM from
the Palm Desktop because I needed the address book synchronization with
Word. I find it to be much more functional than the Palm Desktop, and
the only reason I even bother to install Palm Desktop on my systems is
so I can sync my Treo at all. I do not use Outlook for anything else,
and therefore have never set up its online features.
