is it possible to open an outlook .pst file ?

The iPad will SYNC with your Outlook file on your PC to obtain calendar data. It cannot import or open the file.

It does not sync Email (it can sync the Email settings, but not the emails themselves). Depending on your Email service provider, you may or may not need to use exchange server. If it's corporate email you likely will. You need to discuss this with your provider.

My pleasure

What about a way to import a .PST content into my IPAD? It would allow me to junk my work pc for good.

Any apps out there That can do that?

No way to directy import .pst content. You could do something like get your Outlook data into Google and then use the iPad to access Google. Easy ways to do that:

For mail - set up a Gmail account in Outlook, then just copy/move all your emails across
For Calendar - set a Google Calendar and city/move all the entries
For Contacts - not sure, but there's plenty of info at Gmail

There is now, look for pst mail in app store, I have just bought it and loaded 5 years worth of emails onto my ipad. This now makes my iPad the ultimate reference point!

Hi this sounds interesting but I can't find it in a search on the store - can you point me in the right direction please.

Does the App just download or can it Synchonise? I'm looking for something to synchronise (ie bothe directions)between an iPad and my Outlook folders on my PC (hopefully with mail attachments).

And then to synch calendar, tasks, notes, addresses along with categories, colours.

And sharing files would be nice too!

(A bit like Activesync does with a Smart phone)
