I'm looking for a freeware PIM (personal information manager), something like outlook, but more lightweigth (and free of course :rolleyes: ) .
It shouldn't be able to do much, just:

  • Calendar, Contacts and maybe capable of sending/receiving e-mail
  • Sync with a PocketPC
  • Sync with Google Calendar


Anybody knows a free app that can do this ?

Any lighter than Outlook would have to be Outlook Express.

I'm wondering why not just use Google Apps (email, calendar, docs etc) with your domain? Or do you have a domain name? I suppose if you want to carry your PIM with you like in a PDA then I Outlook is the best.

I have used all other so called free programs for PDA but all of them were crap. Outlook is by far the best PIM for your PDA. If you're using PIM for your laptop what's one little program like Outlook? :rolleyes:

I'm more looking for an offline thing to organise my stuff. So it looks like I'm stuck to using Outlook as my PIM :rolleyes: , ah yeah, it might have advantages I suppose :) .

Btw, Outlook Express is a no go, it's crap B) .

I have an AT&T Tilt...and while this may help you or not, I just sync it via exchange to my mail2web account. They have free exchange hosting (well, kinda...there's no outlook support, but with a quirk you can log entourage or evolution into it) that will sync to your pocket pc and also supports push email.

The only free ones I can really think of are the ones included in your operating system.

I've found an unused Outlook version at home so I've installed that one and I'm quite happy now :) . Synching with Google Calendar is a bit tricky, but hey, it works :rolleyes: .
Now I only have to update, re-organise and clean up my contact lists B)

Take a look at the FREE version of EssentialPIM... http://www.essentialpim.com/?r=products
Another to look at is Abassis Work Desktop... http://www.abassis.com/index.html

For free, you may not get all the features you want/need, but free is good no matter what!

Thanks for the hints ;) . Too bad I'm a bit impatient, I went to the microsoft camp, knocked on their door and they've chained me to this beast they call Outlook ^_^ . Nah, I'm pretty happy with outlook, it's a bit annoying in the beginning and google calendar synchronisation is a hard, but I just try to organise my whole life on my PDA :P .

I don't know if you are still trying to find a free PIM but I know a very good one.
It is PIM Xtreme and you can find it at http://dgtalize.com

It is Open Source licensed under GNU GPL, and that means it is free. You can handle contacts, calendar, events, to-do lists, and even financial stuff. I'm not sure about sync but you can export to iCalendar format, which it's supported by Google Calendar.

Hope it helps!

It looks good, but the GUI looks so unstructured and messy :) . I've quit looking for a freeware PIM for a while now, Outlook seemed to offer the best (and most complete) compatiblity with my PDA so I decided to stick with it. Using Freemycall I can export my calendar to iCalendar format and then import it in Evolution on my laptop ... it's not the nicest solution, but it works :P
