I don't believe people have found a way to do this.

If you install 3rd party software, that shouldn't affect you syncing with Outlook. 3rd party PIM's or today screen plug ins sit on top of Pocket Outlook and just display the information differently than the default Windows Mobile display. The base data is still there and can still sync with Outlook. I have Extreme Agenda (3rd party PIM), and played around with Today Agenda (today screen plug in). I am still able to sync with Outlook.
