Alternative to Outlook

I don't use outlook and when deciding on an alternative was looking for something which would allow me to Sync with Win Mobile.
I now use Thunderbird which has e-mail, tasks and calendar ( http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/ ) and have found this free programme for syncing to my device - http://www.finchsync.com/.
Easy to install and setup and works a treat.

???
I am using it with WM5 and the latest IMate ROM.

Couldn't get on with finchsync, everytime it said that it had updated my contacts, when clearly it hadn't... Birdiesync worked first time, was fast, and did a very sweet job of carrying out its intended task .

This has the advantage over Finchsync in that it sync automatically with activesync, but at the time of writing it does not deal with the calendar, which to me is more important.
I have never had a problem with it not updating contacts, it always works for me, and $19.95 is not worth it for just contacts.
It may be worth reconsidering if they release a calendar update that works.
I am using it with Windows Mobile 5.

how do you compare Finchsync to Outlook?

Messenger

Hy i just installed WM6 for Hermes LVSW Edition (2007-03-13)
(WM6 Pro Style)
This version works great on my hermes.
But there is no Msn Messenger in this version, is it possible to download it somewhere??
But my biggest problem is that i cant set a hotmail account in outlook (on my phone), and he doesnt sync the hotmail account set in outlook on my pc.
Has anyone a answer to this?
Thanx

yer ive noticed this, if anyone could point us in the right direction would be appriciated.
Thanks

WM6 uses Window Live but its in beta so you'll have to find the .cab
I think there may be a .cab for MSN also but not sure..

You'll find Live Messenger under the "Optional Apps" Extras.

Must Have App's

Guys,
Just got my P3600, flashed with bepe WM6 image which is really stable bar for the email accounts disappearing.
Does anyone know of a really simple email app that just downloads from the server but keeps the messages on the server. Also would like it to check every 5minutes and tie in with the HTC today page as it currently displays the outlook email.
Also, what are the must have applications for this? Is there a good list i can have a look through?
Cheers

Must have applications list for P3600 with WM5 can be found on
LDCWeb2.0 (french)
All applications in this list are available also for WM6 or few are now useless (because natively included in the OS).
For your purpose, according Pocket Outlook is not enough for you, perharps you can try emoze or morange.

thanks for the suggestions,
is pocket outlook the version thats loaded on by default as i have problems with the accounts disappearing....

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.

GMail Java App on Excalibur/Dash

I was wondering if anyone has been able to use the Gmail java app on WM 6.1 on the excalibur? When I try to log in after I run it, there is some error, the applet closes and I get the message "This file cannot be viewed on this device".
Any ideas? I tried to install a newer Jbed+opera mini+gmail pack yesterday from one of the other forums, but it didn't work very well and had display problems compared to the Jbed version included in the 6.1 roms. Are the newer esmertec jbed versions better? I found several 2008 revisions on the forums, but can't tell if theyre for smartphone or just for WM pro.
Thanks in advance!

Why not just add your gmail account to your phone and skip the java app? It's unnecessary.

I have the same problem. Luckily Opera Mini works fine.

Have to agree, unless you mean using the gmail layout as homepage, to which i don't think works on Mobile devices?

I have been using gmail with the phone's built in email system, which has been OK, except that I cant seem to send any emails through gmail's smtp server. I wanted to switch to the java app because one of the local cell phone providers has a cheap unlimited on device browsing option that doesn't work with the phone's email system but apparently does with the java gmail app. Looks like I'm stuck with opera mini then! Thanks!

I would go to your Gmail account and enable IMAP, then use that on the Excalibur's standard email account handler. IMAP is far superior to POP/SMTP especially when you check mail from multiple locations- any deletions (or even marking something read) are passed up to the server so you only manage your emails once.
There are tutorials on Gmail's site that detail getting IMAP enabled, and also how to configure your typical mobile phone to use the IMAP settings. It was easy for me.

I think the gmail java app works by IMAP also. At least that was my experience with gmail mobile on a blackberry.

I am having the same problem as the initial post. has anyone figured this out? please don't tell me to use wm's native email client. I know I can do that. i need to use gmail's java midlet. i have tried installing other midlet managers but they don't work either. is there a way to uninstall the dash's native gui java midlet manager?

Using the phones email client takes away your search ability as well as the label system which I use alot.
