Using BB8830 with Outlook and Hotmail email

[PearlBB8830]

I have a new BlackBerry 8830. I have Outlook2003 on my PC and use Hotmail for my emails. How can I setup my BB to sync with Outlook and my Hotmail emails

Welcome to the BBForums.

You can't do that on a personal BIS setup, to sync with your Outlook. You need BES for that function.

Are there any other options that I have? I want to carry my emails on my BlackBerry but also use my Hotmail email on my computer. If I can't do it with Outlook, what can I use?:-(

You can setup your BB to retrieve your hotmail email (might have to pay for premium service from hotmail) and you can sync your Outlook PIM data (calendar, tasks, address book, etc.) via cable.
