I thought I'd share this since I haven't seen any posts here regarding the Funambol plugin. I run it on my 8525 and Motorola Q. On the desktop, I run Slackware 12 Linux with Thunderbird/Lightning for my Email/Calendar client. I also run my own Funambol server. With this setup, I can sync anywhere wirelessly and not have to rely on any third party servers. If I flash a new rom, I just install the Funambol plugin on my phone, setup the URL to my server and hit Sync and I've got all my contacts & calendar entries back.
I've tested the Funambol plugin with Thunderbird/Lightning on WinXP and it works just as well. You can use public SyncML servers as well from what I've read.

Can contact pictures and Notes be synced?
The notes sync fine, the picture doesn't. I only have one picture so far (my wife) and Thunderbird's address book doesn't seem to support a picture. When I reload my rom next time ill note if the pictures sync back. edit: Nope, no pics.
Theres an Outlook plugin as well for folks that prefer Microsoft byproducts {{shiver}}

Funambol Rocks
For anyone out there that has a Scalix Groupware server and wants to sync to WinMo (via Funambol) I started an open source connector that syncs contacts and calendar items.

Hello.
Sorry for this dumb question, but this windows mobile is getting a real pain in the a**. Is it possible that in 2008 there are no filters for Mail ?!?
Do you know of a replacement for the messaging program (or at least Mail) ?!?
Do you know of a way of having mail automatically sorted based on some (even simple) filters/rules ?
Thanks.

most common software is intellisync
Or Mnotes...
sync via cadenza
i used to sync to lotus notes using a prog called cadenza- that was 7 years ago- not sure if it is still around
check out http://www.throughboxit.co.uk/TboxIT/downloads/mNotesBrochure.pdf
Lotus Synchro
Hi man,
I'm using Commontime's mSuite 5.
For me it's the best software in synchronisation, just only one disadvantage - cannot synchronise hand written notes.
But for more detials click on the link: http://web.commontime.com/
If you must be exposed to Lotus, as I am at work, please consider using the free Lotus to Outlook connector, which will allow you to be entirely compatible with a lotus system, but use Outlook instead.
I work in a major Lotus based office, and have to say that the connector (and Outlook) have finally made Lotus bearable, with no problems whatsoever (ie Calendar, ToDo, Notes, Email etc all work better than they did before, but are all derived from the Lotus system).
And of course, once you have Outlook, you can sync normally and easily.

For Vijay555
Hi Vijay,, i downloaded the plugin to sync lotus notes with outlook as per your thread...but now i dont know what to do...how do i synchronize
Easy Sync pro
Easy Sync Pro works fine with WM 6.1 and Lotus Notes 7, 8 & 8.5
but it does not work with WM 6.5
Dear all, I'm new to this forum and I'm looking for your qualified help.
I bought a short while ago a HTC TP2 with WM6.1. and I upgraded it to the WM6.5. using the original HTC ROM software. Before the Easter I've been trying to send several greetings sms to my friends, discovering the very limited sms capabilities of the TP2 (compared to my old Nokia N70) :-(((
1. I'm searching for a software application to install on both PC and TP2 to allow me typing SMS on my PC and sending them through the TouchPro2 (something similar to the Nokia PC Suite). Freeware is preferred of course. I've been googling for it, also doing a search on this beautiful forum, but I didn't spot anything reliable where TP2 is specified. Any good recommendation from your personal experience?
2. Actually cand someone point me to something similar to the Nokia PC Suite, does such a complete piece of software exist for Windows Mobile phones?
All the best to you all.

It looks like just using the features available in regular ol' ActiveSync/Windows Mobile Device Center would achieve everything Nokia's PC suite does

Thank you for the quick answer. I am using Win XP, therefore ActiveSync 4.5 is on the table. (I am unpleasantly surprised by the limited and decreasing capabilities of the AS 4.5 compared to much older versions like 3.7, but that's another story.)
Anyway, I am not aware of such a strong feature allowing me to type sms on my computer using the ActiveSync interface, therefore could you please give some details about this? I guess that I need more than that in terms of software and that's why asking on the forum. Thanks.

That's not a part of activesync natively, I was just covering everything I saw listed as a function of the Nokia PC suite...I didn't see that SMS was part of that.
I know there's a number of apps that will allow you to SMS via an ActiveSync'd TP2, the only one I happen to recall off the top of my head is Jeyo Mobile Companion. When I get home this evening I'll see if I can turn up any of the other ones I've run across. Jeyo's product is great, but not free.

I'm not aware of any such software available for TP2, though it seems Samsung has developed a similar ( like Nokia PC Suite) for the Omnia B7610 based on Active Sync, I'm not aware though if it will work on our handset.

Sirphunkee, I was editting the post to give more details about the OS in use and about sms and probably that was the moment of your first answer. No harm done.
Thanks for the hints, I will see what Jeyo Mobile Companion can do. Of course other alternatives are most welcome.
With these limited sms capabilities of TP2 I feel like having 2 left hands :-((( Preparing a new sms one doesn't even get a view of the contacts list to click on the target name, but has to type the name. What about if having 5 or 10 persons to send to? Unbelievable unconfortable and unfriendly.
Sorry, the bitter comments are not addressed to you, but to the software designers which did not put themselves in the user's shoes.
Thanks for your open minded support.

No problem
And we'll gladly add your opinions about how SMS is lacking on winmo to the pile that's already accumulated around here
Group SMS does not text from the pc but it DOES allow for mass sms. Also it is not free. That said, I use it to mass text people and it gets the job done nicely...you simply set up groups, check off the boxes of those you want it sent to, type your text and send.

Thank you akashastrega!
Yet I am a bit confused as you mentioned that Group SMS does not text from the pc, but, following your link, at the bottom of the page it says Skb Group SMS and Scheduler 5.2 does a PC application. May be there is a new version, if so I'll be most than happy. Also HTC TP2 is not shown in the Compatibility devices list, may be the list is old.

Not really .. I admit that I do miss the ability to send SMS/MMS from my PC thru my old Nokia. PCSuite also allowed you to view/delete your messages on your PC, selecting which you needed to keep and which could be discarded. I honestly expected some kind of PC software to come with my TP2 and was disappointed to learn AS was the answer.

Thank you for the hint. I installed the Samsung New PC Studio v 1.4.0 for Omnia, it looks nice and similar as functions to the Nokia PC Suite, but as expected it does not recognize my TP2 phone as connected (USB). A matter of drivers I would say, but how to solve it? Thanks anyway, I forgot that Samsung put on the market WM phones.

I fully agree with you. All the major phone manufacturers are supporting their phones with a free PC Suite, I am disappointed that HTC didn't cover the WM phones. Active Sync is a very poor solution with very limited features. I know there is a HTC PC Suite for the G1 nad Hero Android phones, but not for the winmo phones.
Btw, I wonder if anybody asked HTC about a PC Suite for the WM phones, with TP2 in particular, and what was the HTC answer?

This is a newer version from what I have, which did not have pc linking...apparently they have changed that, but to what extent I do not know. I run version 5.0 on my TP2 without any issues and it does a fantastic job!! I am pretty sure that if an older version runs good on my TP2, this updated version will work just fine.
Hi again. These days I managed to install and test both the Jeyo Mobile Companion and the Skb Group SMS and Scheduler 5.2. Both are nice and doing what they are supposed to do, but I consider the Jeyo Mobile Companion more user friendly, looking closer to the Nokia PC Suite I am used to and therefore more appropriate to my needs. So I will buy this one. The only drawback is that is doing only sms and not mms, but is good enough for me for the time being.
Thanks everyone for the good advice.
Sending Bulk SMS through TP2
You can enter multiple recipients manually or create a group where you add members and send bulk SMS like that. You can also search (or scroll if you don't want to type) through your contacts to add them to an SMS. You mentioned that you are not able to do this.
Can you tell me what limitations you've discovered in TP2's SMS?
Just curious.
Thanks!
I have been using PowerSMS and My Mobiler to bulk sms from my phone via PC. Although I do have a bit of lag when typing, but that may be the Fuze vs TP2.
Also, Google Voice can do this for you too. I won't get into the setup needed but you can bulk sms from that interface.
I've used Efficasoft mobile Express (free), but since upgrading to latest 6.5 ROM, I'm having a problem with SMS remaining in 'outbox'. I have emailed them and they're working in a fix.
Just thought of an application which could allow me to "bulk-text-message", and after reading here, I am giving PowerSMS a go...
My carrier here in Norway has a program I can install and use from Outlook. It syncs perfectly, of course, and I can just click all the contacts I want to send the SMS to and click send.
Maybe your carrier has something like it?

I enjoy using it. During NFL season I burn through thousands of texts to Fantasy league members, family, etc. I still haven't figured out a way to backup the Lists that I create so I end up having to recreate them after each flash.
