If you go that route, make sure you keep .pst file backups (and often).

I used to work that way - never suffered a .pst corruption but I used to get the .pst file left locked if Outlook crashed or had to be killed (it used to hang occasionally). To clear the locks I had to restart samba on the NAS.

I now use IMAP (and Thunderbird - but that's a different story).
Used to use Imap with TB and backed up calender/contacts to server via Sync Kolab, not a bad soltution but a bit clunky.

Is there anything free/opensource that can do the Calender/Contacts and works with a windows mobile device?
