Using FinchSync you can sync your Mozilla calander & email client (Netscape, Mozilla suite, Sunbird & Thunderbird are supported) with your PocketPC or Windows Mobile device. The tool comes in two parts, a client & server, the server is written in Java & is platform independent (well aslong as you you’ve got a jvm for your chosen platform! 
) & the client is in C#, which you install onto your PDA or smartphone.
The server runs on OS X without any problems aslong as you remember to change the default port to listen on as OS X blocks anything below 1024.

Syncing a Windows Mobile device with Thunderbird or Sunbird
Sunday, July 16th, 2006Me & my Axim X50
Sunday, July 16th, 2006Well, it’s just a little over a year since I got my Axim X50 PDA & I have finally put it to good use. After a couple of plays with PocketMac Pro I purchased my license for Missing Sync from Mark/Space
Though PocketMac Pro had a couple of really usefull features which aren’t included in Missing Sync (extract .cab files from .exe’s & sync iTunes library), Life is so much better with Missing Sync. Missing Sync is soooooo much more stable for starters (I’m running a alpha version of Missing Sync aswell), it also allows doesn’t get confused if you factory reset your pda & try to re-sync it. I was never able to re-sync my pda with pocketmac if I let my battery run flat, I’d have to uninstall Pocketmac & re-install so that It’d give me the option to scan for a device & install its sync components onto the device.
Another problem with PocketMac was that it was extremely unstable when used with wifi & bluetooth usually causing the system to panic!!
I have also upgraded my Axim to Windows Mobile 5 which kinda makes PocketMac redundent as they still don’t support it!
