Hi all,
I want to import a calendar from Outlook to my Trinity on WM6.
May I ask to explain me how to do ?
Just to clarify the reason of my demand, I know that if you synchronise you will have all the datas, but on my company, the USB ports are disabled by the administrator, so I want to export the calendar file and import it to my mobile (by email for example).
Thanks in advance for your help

copy your outlook.pst from the office to a portable device (CD-Rom) if your PC has a burner and than syncronize at home
sorry I think you're stuffed- if you copied a .pst file via CD ROM you'd be able to sync once. Change your calendar at work and you have to repeat- it's unworkable.
I don't think it's possible- I presume if your USB ports are diabled, there is no way you could install any other software, and the chances of having a CD writer are low two.
Can you ask your IT folks to install Active sync and a USB cradle for you?

interesting idea about google calendar.. i've been looking for a solution like this so my secretary could update my calendar for me at work, without using exchange since our company doesn't have it. What do you use to sync your google calendar? there seem to be so many different options..

I was using this http://remotecalendars.sourceforge.net/ as it was in italian too... But at that time it was almost the only app, now you can find tons of them... RC is an Outlook plugin, but you can find a standalone Calendar Application...
We have Zimbra now so I don't sync with Outlook any more and calendar editing is done via web by our secretary...

Hi,
I see you have an orange icon, so you call with orange? they have a agenda function on their website, you need to login.
maybe that's a solution.
Google calendar is a very good solution. I'm using it with "oggsync" whitch allows me to synchronise google agenda with my 3G connection and oif course with my mobile outlook.
I'm only still having one issue, Google calendar can send invitations but aparently, you can't receive an invitation from a non goolge calendar, you receive an email and then you have to import that iCal file into google calendar.
It would be better if I could receive my invitation directly into google calendar but it's not possible, I'll look further on that, maybe i'll find something.
Thank you very much for your help !

I was thinking about Orange too but I'm not allowed to acces to my orange account (firewall) but I can acces to google calendar. Gmail is not allowed too.

Outlook invitation can cause strange issues, especially if your contacts are different between devices.
And you can use only Outlook or PIM Backup ver 2.5 to backup appointments with participants on your trinity (other programs or older version of pim backup gives errors during restore)
Glad to help!

Sorry,
I don't know any software able to read a pst, except for some tool to repair a pst under xp/vista...
...But you should be able to read a .cal file and import it into outlook...
To import my calendar from Motorola A1000 I used to prepare a big cal file and import it with Remote Calander. Outlook 2007 (I don't use it) should be able to import cal file directly...

Hey guys, n00bish question....

No question.
Outlook 2007.
It's not too shabby on 2010 x64 either.
I use Google Calendar and Google ActiveSync exchange. Outlook was ok but I wanted something fast and simple.. Google calendar fits the bill and with Chrome (googles browser) I can make an 'application shortcut' and have a direct link to my calendar online or offline on my desktop that immediately syncs to my device

I agree. But if you want to sync with Google, I would recommend syncing only when there are not contacts/calender entries on your Dash. If there are, Google sync via exchange always duplicates your contacts.
So put your outlook contacts & calender in Google first, then sync.

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know how to convert Outlook emails or contacts (PST to NSF) to the Lotus Notes 8?
Thanks
John
Hi John
I will suggest you to use Outlook to Notes Software to convert Outlook (.pst) to Lotus Notes (.nsf). PST to NSF converter software is easy & quick to Convert Outlook to Lotus Notes.
I have used this tool a week ago and able to convert all my MS Outlook email folders (Inbox, Sent Items, Drafts, Outbox, Deleted Items), email properties (to, cc, bcc, attachments, sent & received dates), calendar, tasks, contacts to Lotus Notes. You can Download the software from the following site: outlooktolotusnotes.com, psttonsf.org
PST to NSF rocks!!!! Hope you will also get the best results. All the BEST!!!!!

Question answered, topic closed.
So it looks like there is no way to sync Tasks from Outlook on the Desktop or from an Exchange Server to Outlook in WP7
I'm looking for a solution and I think that it may be possible to use OneNote for this. However I'm not sure if OneNote on WP7 will support Tasks; also I'm not sure of what will be required elsewhere for this to happen.
Firstly does anyone know if OneNote if OneNote on WP7 supports Tasks and Task syncing (with the online version of OneNote)? If it does does anyone know if it will be possible to use the online version of OneNote to sync with Tasks on an Exchange Server and then to OneNote on WP7 or would I need a desktop installation that would sync to my Outlook and then sync online?
Also if anyone has another idea I'd love to hear it
Thanks.
Thats not what onenote is for. Thats why outlook exists. No...

I forgot all about tasks and notes
Are they sync'd using Exchange? I don't have my phone yet so don't even know what the phones functionality is in this area

This is why Outlook AND OneNote exist on the Desktop but on Windows Phone 7 there is no syncing of Tasks (or Notes) from Outlook/Exchange, even with Exchange 2010.
On the Desktop OneNote does handle Tasks and it can sync Tasks with Outlook, with OneNote on Windows Mobile (although the WM version doesn't really know what to do with anything other than normal text or a list) and with OneNote in The Cloud.
I don't know what the OneNote version on WP7 can do (other than sync with The Cloud) or if it can handles Tasks but I do know that there are no Tasks in Outlook on WP7 or as a separate Microsoft application.

Notes and Tasks in Outlook/Exchange are not synced at all with WP7. This is the problem.
You can transfer your Notes to OneNote and use that rather than Outlook/Exchange for notes and that should sync with the cloud and with your device but I don't know if it will work for Tasks. [I think that you may need the desktop version of OneNote installed to transfer the notes across.]
Thanks for that.
I'm in the process of putting SBS 2008 on one of my machines at home which I think comes with Exchange too. If not I'll bung ES 2010 on there too and do some testing once I stick One Note on the machine.
So there are no tasks at all on WP7?

Yes, SBS 2008 comes with Exchange but that is Exchange 2007. Exchange 2010 has a lot of new features but one that is of most interest to me is that it can finally sync Notes OTA via ActiveSync to a client, which would be perfect... if WP7 supported it.
There is a beta program for the next release of SBS, which includes Exchange 2010.
As for Tasks, no there are no Tasks in WP7 at the moment and no information as to if or when they will be added. You should be able to use OneNote on WP7 for Tasks as long as it has been improved over the Office Mobile 2010 version.
BTW I'm interested to know if I can search a server using ActiveSync from WP7. Engadget said that you can't but I got the impression that they were using Gmail, which isn't a complete implementation of the features of Exchange so if you have a handset or if you are about to get a handset, I'd love to know.
Thanks
hello, how well does Windows phone 7 sync with Outlook tasks?
Hi,
as far as I know, Outlook is unable to synchronize tasks to the cloud via the Hotmail Connector. So you wont be able to get your outlook tasks to your phone. However WP7 does support tasks and so does Windows Live. You can create and view them in the Calendar Hub (swipe to the left). You'll just be unable to synchronize Outlook with them. You could contact the Windows Live team to check, wether tasks synchronization will be included in the next Connector Version or not.
If your tasks are stored on a Exchange Server you will be able to view them in special apps.
Regards
Chris
To-Dos in Windows Live are not Tasks, they're To-Dos. That is why they are named differently. You can't set Recurring To-Dos for example. For someone who seriously uses Outlook Tasks, Windows Live Calendar To-Dos are useless. Trust me, I've tried harder than I care to say.
I just sync my Outlook Tasks to my iPod Touch through iTunes and use that.
Both Windows Live and Google Tasks/ToDos are pretty rubbish, IMO.

Almost correct. Since Mango you don't need 3rd party apps to view, set up and edit Outlook tasks when using an Exchange server. It's part of the Windows Phone calender. But some apps provide more features than the calender does.
I believe exchange server is a Microsoft's business product. Something that a normal consumer do not have access to. Does that mean I am pretty much out of when it comes to taking my Outlook's tasks mobile except for as N8ter suggested using iTunes and an Apple device.
I want to avoid using Apple device at any cost.
Thank
I took O365 account for 6eur a month. Gives me own cloud with exchange email, calendar, tasks and contacts sync perfect with my WP7. I also have Onenote synced to the O365.
Yes, its not free but Im happy I took it.

Ok. Thanks I'll have a look into it. Is it similar to Apple iCloud which is free of charge?
I never used iCloud, but assume O365 is way more powerfull.. Its like GoogleDocs + all I wrote before.
You have your own cloud to sync everything I mentioned and you can also share office documents to non O365 users. You can decice what documents you share and to whom you share that specific document to. And like I wrote before you have all office tools, word, excel, powerpoint and onenote as browser based applications too.
If you want to sync onenote with your home computer(s) you need Office 2010 installed.
You get an address for the 6eur a month (something like [email protected], I dont remeber but you get the idea), but I took myowndomain.com for 10usd/ year to get my email as I want m([email protected])
Its is pretty cool to have my own exchange server + all the other things I wrote.
Also I took in to consideration that if I would ever change mobile platform, exchange would always be able to sync my contacts and email to the new device without doing other changes.

No. Apple iCloud is similar to SkyDrive, which is also free of charge. Sharepoint is much more powerful and secure.
Since the Mango update Tasks sync with Windows Phone 7.
If you sync with an exchange server, tasks that you view in Outlook will be on your phone under Calendar
Under settings for email accounts, for Outlook, there is a checkbox for Tasks.
Then, tap the Calendar tile.
swipe to the to-do tab.
See your tasks there.
From a task, you have the options Complete Edit and the ...

Sorry, mixing things up. Office 365 gives you Sharepoint functionality to share Office files and sync OneNote with your phone, as well as Exchange for Outlook functionality (email, calendar, contacts, tasks). So you get quite a lot for something like $6 a month.
will I need Microsoft Office SharePoint Workplace? Because I only have Microsoft Office 2010 Professional not Professional Plus.
Don't know. Just head over to the Office 365 website and find out!

You don't need Sharepoint Workspace for Office 365 - Sharepoint Online can be used entirely through the web.
In fact, you don't even need Office desktop at all to use Office 365 Although if you have desktop Word / Excel etc, you can switch from the browser Word / Excel to desktop version by clicking a button (this doesn't work in the Google Chrome browser). Web versions are quite good but have limited features.
Another nice thing is that the mailbox size for Outlook online is 25GB and so far, very fast
I think MS offer a 30-day trial so you can test it out before paying any money.
Thanks, I am waiting for my Omnia 7 to arrive, and once it does. I will sign up for a 30 days of Office 365 and see if I get this going.

I am looking at Outlook right now at work. My Outlook Tasks are synced to my Windows Live To-Dos, which I guess you are not disagreeing with. However, within Outlook I do not see the ability to set recurring tasks, this is only possible within the Calendar section of Outlook.
There is a button for recurrence in outlook. You not being able to find it does not make it not exist. I've been using outlook since office 97. it has almost always had recurring tasks.
And paying $for a redundant service to sync tasks I'd terrible value proposition.
