Default Synch without ActiveSync

I need to synchronize my PocketPC without using Active Sync. My IT
dept at work has forbidden synchronizing computers with PocketPC
devices. They have no problem with the concept of synchronizing
calndars, but disallow the hookup of any personal computers to our
work systems due to security concerns. What I am hoping for is a
simple file with all my calendar appointments that I can transfer to
my pocketPC via email or through the use of an SD or CF card. The
idea being that I could then just copy the file over to my PocketPC
and it would install and update my calendar.


There is no such file to transfer. The database kept by Pocket Outlook
bears no resemblance to that kept by Outlook. At the very least, you'd have
to write "sync" software that would convert data from Outlook into something
the PDA could use so you could store it on the memory card and I don't
recall ever seeing documentation outlining the format Windows Mobile uses.

Besides, you'd still be violating the spirit of the company rule.
