You really want that going to the cloud as the default setting? (No, I don't keep my client SS#'s/DOB's that way, but could, and some doofuses probably do...) So default setting is that it goes somewhere out there for the crafty to find and snag. What a system.
Sorry Zorro, you either don't understand the technology I'm talking about, or didn't understand my explanation.
Outlook is not a server, it's a client.
The "cloud" that my SS# would go to (in your scenario) would be on
your computer only. No where else. Just like it would be on your computer were you to synchronize the palm with your computer.
The only additional security issue woud be if you were to make your IP address publicly available. But you have that "ability" whether you do what I'm talking about or not, which could compromise data stored in the Palm database under the "old" method.
