Sigh. I am well aware of how to connect to Exchange to get my mail. My question was very specific: is there a way to make a laptop use Activesync, NOT for a PDA to activesync to my Outlook.<br />
It's simple: can I make the laptop behave like a PDA, like an iPhone for example?

Dell mini (Inspiron 9) running XP Home Edition. Outlook 2003 in cached mode. 3G network using built-in wireless broadband.<br />
I want to run Activesync to sync up the laptop itself, not a PDA.<br />
Is this possible?<br />
In other words, the laptop is on the 3G network all the time -- and has it's Outlook updated via Activesync. The laptop is the PDA.

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
