This works with Windows XP Professional or Home edition, any service packs. In Add/Remove Programs, on the sidebar you'll find Add/Remove Windows Components button. There, you can add/remove applications that belongs to Windows installation. The problem is, some of them are hidden, so you cannot remove them. By editing a file, you can reveal those apps. Here's how to do it:

After trying and realize how simple it is to move my contact and calendar data and push gmail using Google Sync, I search around to find similar way to sync my Palm Treo 650 contact and calendar data with google as well. If you read my post about utilizing my treo 650, this is encourage me to try it.

All you need is register with 3rd party service called NuevaSync. For free service, you can get contact and calendar sync with google. And if you want more services like push email and tasks sync (with Toodledo service), you can upgrade your account to premium with annual fee only $25.

You can check detail steps here. What's not explain there is that you need at least VersaMail version 3.5 and EAS (Exchange Active Sync) updated. I'm using Treo 650, and since Treo 650's built-in VersaMail version only 3.1c, you have to upgrade it first. Instead of upgrading (that will make my tiny RAM exhausted), I did a custom ROM and put updated files inside Treo 650's ROM :)

I've no chance to try Tasks sync, but push mail with gmail went smooth and it also runs well, almost no delay. One minor disadvantage is that folders (or you could say labels) in gmail doesn't show up in my VersaMail. Only Inbox and Trash that show up. But if you're not using labels like I did in gmail, I'll sure recommend this service. Enabling real push-mail ability in your Palm Treo 650 or any PalmOS device. Worth it! :)

First, you have to install Macports, then install mutt with all these compile options:

# sudo port -v install mutt-devel +ssl +smtp +date_conditional +deepif +gdbm +gpgme +headercache +idn +sidebar +trash +sasl

Then, on your .muttrc file, add these config:

--- begin of configuration ---

#account settings

set realname = "REAL_NAME"
set imap_user = "YOUR_GMAIL_ADDRESS"

--- end of configuration ---

On these line, you can customize it to use other file editor such as vi or vim. Since I'm not familiar with emacs, I'm using vi :)

# Set which Editor to use for composing Emails.
set editor= '/usr/bin/emacs'




And in these line, you can add/ remove any IMAP folders you already set on Gmail, prefix it with '=' :







# which mailboxes to list in the sidebar,
# you can add your Labels in Gmail to the Sidebar.
mailboxes =All\ Mail =INBOX =Drafts =Sent\ Mail  =Trash













You will be prompted to accept 2 certificates when first firing up mutt, just accept it. Here's a screenshoot of my mutt interface:

Here is several MacPorts commands that I often used, with little description on every command. I always use -v option (as in verbose), to look at the detail downloading and compiling process.


1. sudo port -v selfupdate
- removing and downloading new file repository list, often updated

2. sudo port -v upgrade outdated
- upgrade outdate port, according to newest file repository list

3. sudo port -v uninstall inactive
- even after update, macports still kept the outdated version, you can execute this command to automatically vanish outdated version immediately

3. sudo port -v search [port]
- used for looking certain port

4. sudo port -v install [port]
- install certain port

5. sudo port -v uninstall [port]
- uninstall certain port

6. sudo port -v clean --all [port]
- clean up all port build and dependencies

7. sudo port -v activate [port@version]
- activate certain port version

8. sudo port -v installed
- shows up all port installed
