Using GMM and not using POContacts at all. But whatever is in my laptop outlook contacts file appears back on the handheld whenever I sync things up (files/bookmarks). It's annoying as hell as it take up a fair amount of space on the device. I can't figure out how to get rid of the duplicate contacts as I already have them all in GoodMM. Even when I delete/move the contacts out of desktop Outlook, they reappear even though I don't have contacts "checked" for synchronization.
This is maddening...any thoughts?
Well I am not a GMM user, but I do believe there is an option to sync what informations you want in GMM...look around settings and see if you have settings to sync contacts, if so, then disable it and see what happens!

I have upgraded to mUn_2.00.SE_WWE_GPS and everything seems fine apart from the orange voicemail bug mentioned in another post.
Messenger synchronized my msn contacts onto the phone so I had 2 of each which was fine as I have all ready read about this issue.
So I updated the msn ones and started to remove the original ones from the phone.. They have a different icon
All appeared fine. It would tell me when my contacts were on line etc etc.
I then went to outlook and made sure there were no contacts in there so I could have a fresh updated list of contacts when it synced.
However these contacts will not synced. I created a test one in outlook and that synced fine to my phone. Am I missing something here??
All I want to have is the same contacts on my phone/windows live and outlook. Surely this can be achieved??
Are you using ActiveSync 4.5 already...? I suspect that might have got something to do with your issue
Do you get any error-messages at all ? Giving us some more clues....?
And very important: what version of Outlook do you run ?
more info, hope you can help now
I have it synced with 2 machine and neither work.
1 is windows XP with active sync 4.5 and outlook 2003 the 2nd is vista with the mobile device center and office 2007.
I can sync normal contacts created on the phone or in outlook it is just the ones imported from live messenger that will not copy back to my outlook contacts.
I have a feeling the phone does not recogonise these as contacts as they have a different icon from ones created on the phone. It looks like a grey folder rather than the little address card.
Please help
Hmmmzz....actually this is very interesting; i didn't dare using Live Messenger up until now just BECAUSE of the syncing of ALL messenger contacts into Outlook. Now that you report that it doesn't, the question raises if M$ has meant this to be...
Then again; did you check the settings under Windows-Live (on your Trinity)? You can go to 'options' with the right soft-key, and there are 6 setting menu's there, where you need option 2 to check the box in front of 'Contacts and Messenger'
Let me know if that worked for you...

contacts are NOT merged, but only show up in 1 list
contacts are NOT merged, but only show up in 1 list.
sim contacts
outlook contacts
msn contacts
are shown whithin the same contact browser but are not really merged.
Each contact type only syncs with it`s proper sourec, pocket outlook wit desktop outlook, msn with msn (or say "live"), and SIM contacts with SIM-import-export programs.
that's all and that's ok.
the real issue is that i find "show SIM-contacts merged yes/no" but cannot find "show msn contacts merged yes/no".
it sucks, but not really too much.

I wiped and reloaded my dash with RW 6.1 and synced my contacts from Dashwire. Strangely however, none of my contacts show up in the contacts list, but if I start typing a name the names come up. Also, when people call they are recognized. So where did my contacts go??
sounds like they are on the sim card and are hidden. Try this, go to Start>Settings>Phone>Call Options and see if the "Show SIM contacts" is checked.
If the above doesn't Solve your problems. You should of had backed up all your Contacts before doing the update.
Thanks for the quick responses.
gospeed, the "show sim contact" option is selected.
axiomkid, backing up is not the issue. 1. they are backed up on dashwire and 2. they are outlook contacts. the problem is not losing my contacts...its finding them on my phone.
Edit: I also just checked the 'Contacts Information' in the Sim Manager and see that I have 357 contacts. The SIM capability says 0/0. Hope that helps a bit more.
wow, that is strange! although I have never used that software I dont know where they could be "hiding"!
Any other solutions to the "hidden" contacts that do exist on my phone?
I somehow missed that we were talking about Outlook contacts, so my bad on the sim part...I use Outlook to sync my contacts so I am not sure about where they could go using alternative software- but have you tried to sync with Outlook to see if they somehow appear? Its about all I got! Wish I could help
I guess it will help if I gave the whole scenario. After reinstalling 6.1 I synced my contacts from Dashwire to the phone. Everything was fine. I then setup my Outlook email and did a sync and the contacts were duplicated. I could not find any solution to delete ALL contacts. So I d/l Jeyo Companion and deleted all of the contacts from the phone. I then synced again from Dashwire to test and now I am sitting with this current problem. I have been trying to delete my outlook account and start over, but I could not (disabled).
Hope this clears some things up. I am going to try and delete my outlook on the phone and see what happens.
I just got my new TouchPro 2 on Verizon today and I installed wireless sync to have my emails from work pushed to my phone (used this on my XV6800). The Outlook email was created correctly and I can access my inbox if I go to all accounts but I can't find out how to add a link to the inbox on the email tab in TouchFlo. The email tab will show that I have new emails but I need to go to the Windows Mobile accounts screen to get to it.
Is there any way to add this account to the email tab in TouchFlo?
You are not alone. Same problem here. Looking for the answer.
Do get the number of messages, but no access to them in TouchFlo?
Yes it will display the number of messages but there is no easy way to display them through the email tab. I have been clicking the inbox link in the notification message that I get when a new wireless sync message comes through. It works but it would be nice to be able to view the messages downloaded through wireless sync in the same way as my gmail account.
Ha. It took me 2 days to figure out why I had 1 message showing on that tab (damn "welcome" email in outlook inbox). I suppose that the whole email tab is of no use to you then, if you use outlook. Maybe a plugin for the home tab is possible?
Same issue
I am also having the issue of the Outlook email not showing on the TouchFlo email tab. I have looked everywhere to try and find where the configuration for this tab is stored, but no luck.
I did have it showing previously when ActiveSync was configured to sync with Outlook (in addition to Wireless Sync), but if I did not disable ActiveSync completely when connected to my computer it created duplicates, and kept creating them for as long as it was connected...Big mess. When I disabled syncing with the inbox on ActiveSync, it deleted all of my email (on the device, then wireless sync deleted everything in Outlook as well), and the Outlook email no longer showed in the TouchFlo email tab.
I am thinking that setting up a bogus ActiveSync partnership with a computer that has nothing in Outlook (and selecting the Inbox) might be a workaround, but it should not be this difficult.
NOTE: I tried removing everything and setting up a bogus partnership through ActiveSync, still did not put the Outlook email back in the TouchFlo Email tab. Just have to use Start > Messaging until someone figures this one out. Would be nice to have it working correctly.
Same issue here. I added second email account, not in wireless sync, but in the email setup, a POP3 account. Now the little envelope goes to that account and then on the bottom you can see the inbox and navigate to the outlook inbox which is your wireless sync. It gets you there with a couple of extra steps, but it isn't the same.
Additionally, you can't see your email for a particular contact, in your wireless sync email. That is a huge benefit of the HTC Touch Pro 2, in that it integrates emails, SMS messages, phone calls, facebook, all through the contacts. Hope someone finds a work around, this is very irritating. Love the phone, but without this, not sure if I will return it within the 30 days.
I'm having the same problem, does anybody have a solution for this?
Thanks!
Same problem
I've got the same issue. Anyone ever find a solution for this that doesn't involve a hard reset?
Hi all,
I'm having troubles with Outlook synchronisation for a long time.
I use normally the MyPhone software to synchronize. This is mainly because when I synchronized with Outlook through ActiveSync a lot of my appoitments (and contacts) were twice in Outlook and in the phone.
What the best would be if Outlook took the data from MyPhone, but that's something impossible.
An other option is to "clean up" the Outlook calendar and contacts before synchronisation. The problem in this is that I don't know how and if this is possible?
Double entrys in Outlook won't botter me that much, however in my phone they do.
Can someone help me with this? I guess I'm not the only one suffering this problem...

A laborious alternative is to sync back to Outlook on your PC, remove the duplicates on your PC, then sync back to device.
If you want to do it in Outlook, you may find it easier if you change the view of your calendar to display by Categories. On Outlook 2003, this is achieved by:
View > Arranged by > Current View > Categories
When i first start my car (kia soul) it proceeds to download the phone book from my phone. On my previous phone (touch pro 2) it went much quicker then it goes with the Evo. I assume this is because i have more contacts.
Is there some way i can designate that only certain contacts get transfered? There's really only a handful that i ever call from my car, the rest of them i don't need added to the car's phone book. Could i do something like create a bluetooth group and only contacts in that group get transfered to the car's memory?
No solution to this? It takes several minutes before i can use the incar bluetooth system due to how long it takes for it to copy the phone book.
Well I unchecked exchange in my contacts then it doesn't sync them. After the first sync you can go back and check exchange and it will sync them in the background next time you get in the car.

If you mean under the account & sync settings, i do not have my exchange contacts set to sync. The only thing set to sync under there is email.
Is it possibly downloading EVERY contact that i have in gmail? Under the 'my contacts' section i have 40 contacts. but under all contacts i have well over a thousand.
On my touch pro 2, i think i probably had about 25 contacts in the phone.
Ya see my situation is a little different I have an exchange email for work then gmail for personal. I just go into the people app and unchecked exchange then it will sync faster. Sorry that none of that will apply for you but maybe help someone else. I will say this that it does seem slower syncing than the TP2. That doesn't help either ....
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk Pro.
Hmm, so you think the phone itself is for some reason slow syncing then the tp2 and it's not just an issue of possibly having more contacts? If i have time, i'll try deleting my account from the phone and manually adding a few contacts and see how long it takes for it to sync just that handful.
I'm not sure what you mean by going into the people app and unchecking exchange? when i click on people, i don't have an option anywhere to uncheck exchange. Maybe that's because i don't have the exchange contacts set to sync under the account settings.
