I'm using Ricky's V24 Vanilla, which is awesome, btw, thanks! But I'd like to use Outlook Mobile and see that it's not an installed component of Office Mobile.
Since I use Outlook 2007 at home and work, I'd like to be consistent on my phone. Is there a way to install the Outlook component, or have to install all of Office Mobile?
I tried to install the version from MS, but it said there's already a newer version of Office Mobile on my phone.
Thanks!!
You can set up an email account from the phone by clicking the message button on the lower right corner and then go to setup-email... I believe this is what you are looking for right?
I did do that, but I don't think that's Outlook. that built in app seems to be simple, and plain. I'm looking for actual Outlook Mobile, for more functionality. If that is, in fact, Outlook Mobile, that's sad.
No that is not it did you try this site...

Yup, that's where I went and downloaded, then tried to install, but it said there's already a newer version of Office Mobile on your mobile device.
All outlook on your phone does is syncs the emails on your desktop outlook with your phones outlook.
You can "install outlook" when you first pick the options on active sync to sync.
I think you can add it if you right click on your profile in active sync.

After syncing the Dash with my desktop Outlook I was surprised to see that the Notes field does not exist in the Mobile Contacts.
As well I noticed that the notes in Calendar and Tasks sync only one way - mobile to desktop. Quite an inconvenience.
Is it the MS Mobile Smartphone OS or the Dash problem?
Works fine for me -- notes in contacts, tasks, and calendar... Something related to your setup -- no idea what though.

I had the same problem with Cingular Blackjack. The problem is with ActiveSync. Use Activesync 4.1. Microsoft activesync has a bug in higher versions of activesync. I recommend 4.1 (Build 4841)
I've seen several complaints that AS 4.5Beta deletes notes from Appointments and Contacts, is that what you're using? Apparently AS 4.2 is fine. Upgrading to AS 4.5 also wipes all your partnerships without warning. Typical MS quality!
Hi guys
I'm having trouble syncing my contacts and calendar in Vista Ultimate. I have a P3300 running WM5 and when I click mobile device settings in Sync Center on the PC, I try select the tick box for contacts or the rest of the options for that matter, but the tick box does not allow any form of entry the only tick box that works is files the same happens when I try active sync settings on my phone. Any idea what I'm doing wrong
Thanks..
Not sure it would (should?) make a difference but could the settings for MS Outlook in your firewall cause a restriction?
Other than that I have absolutely no idea what could be causing the problem. Never come across that before
Have you tried deleting the AS partnership and starting again?
:clutching_at_straws:
I tried to delete it and re-installed Mobile device center 6.1 , but still nothing the tick boxes are solid, and only box I can tick is files, this is really frustrating...
You do have MS Outlook installed on your PC don't you?
Well not sure what it is called in Vista Ultimate anymore but I'm sure it's is Outlook and not Outlook express...

I have installed Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1, and MS outlook, but still unable to sync. I don't think windows firewall would affect this.
Spoke to HTC and I think I might have found the problem. Vista Ultimate comes with a even more watered down version of Outlook express called windows mail and this mail program does not allow the sync features LOL , to think you buy a top of range OS but it does not come with a crappy mail program that does not allow you to sync your contacts and calendar.
Is there a deep-seated problem with syncing WM 6.1 with Vista's WMDC?
I have tried just about every WM 6.1 ROM produced by the excellent chefs here. On every occasion, my Hermes syncs perfectly on the first setup. However, every time I reconnect, the sync fails, with a message that there is a problem with the desktop PC. Deleting the partnership solves it for one sync, then it fails on subsequent ones. So, every time, I re-flash back to my trusty WM6 ROM and, voila, syncing returns to normal.
This occurs with every 6.1 ROM I have tried. It happens with my desktop and my laptop, both running Vista. I have checked that I have the latest version of WMDC. I have ensured that I have unticked "Enable advanced network functionality' in the USB-to-PC option.
I need to sync my Hermes every day, so this problem stops me using any of the 6.1 ROMs. Am I the only one with this problem? Has anyone had the problem and solved it?
Windows Mobile Device Center v6.1.6965
Are u using Windows Mobile Device Center v6.1.6965 ?
It may solve your problem

Yes, both desktop and laptop are using that version of WMDC.
I have that constantly as well with every 6.1 ROM i've used.
My "workaround" is to turn off the calendar sync, allow the other items to sync, then turn calendar sync back on and re-sync
Then that PC will sync properly until I try to sync to another PC and I have to turn off calendar, etc... again
I've using WM 6.1 ROMs with Vista for some time now and have never had that problem. The only difference is that I leave the enable advance network..blah..blah checked. Try it.

Thanks very much for your response. I am heartened to hear that someone else is experiencing the same problem, and it is not just me.
I will try the calendar sync work-around.
Blackout128. Thanks for your reponse as well, but I have tried it with that box ticked and unticked. From Radimus above, it could be a calendar issue. Do you sync with Outlook Calendar?
Yes, I sync the calendar. I guess it was kind of stupid to suggest something that simple. I hope the calendar issues works, who knows with vista, I may have that problem tomorrow.

My final question, and this is the killer question - Are you using Outlook 2003 or 2007?
I use Outlook 2007, and my suspicion is that there could be a problem syncing with that version. Those who use Outlook 2003 might not experience it.
If you say you use Outlook 2003, great, perhaps I have got to the root of the problem.
If you say you use Outlook 2007, I will pack my bags and go!

I have no problem slashing and syncing using Outlook 2002.
Having read Radimus' workaround, I re-installed a WM 6.1 ROM. Once again, I experienced sync problems. But, as soon as I removed Calendar from the sync items, everything worked well.
Is there anyone out there able to sync calendar items between a WM 6.1 Hermes and an Outlook 2007 PC?
I am running Outlook 2007. Here is my Outlook Info.

Thank you Blackout128. My version of Outlook is the same as yours. I am stumped.
Honestly, what the? Why did I get a trial of Outlook with this thing? Why not the full version? Thats the way it was when I purchased my previous devices!
I think it is Outlook for your PC, not PDA.
Exactly, Outlook 2007 for Windows PCs trial. I mean, you need Outlook on the PC to sync contacts and calendar, so why not the full version. Meh. Kinda glad I already had Outlook, and wasn't relying on the one that came with the phone!
You can use Outlook Express to sync you contacts.

how the heck did ya manage that? Surely through some third party tool or something?
Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
Pff... I've given up ActiveSync because I have to sync with 2 PC's...
I use Funambol and that works much better!

Sure, when it comes to microstop you can sum up their strategies as:
1.- increasing greed.
2.- counterworking any open standards.
Honestly, Outlook is the worst ever piece of software for email client.
I banned it 2 years ago (and windows+ office too)
Backing up/ restoring outlook is a nightmare.
Look up in outlook messages is totally unresponsive above 1000 messages!
If you stick to windows then use thunderbird with funambol extension for sync your calendar, briefcase, notes, contacts thru internet and push mail service.
Thunderbird profile can be exported to other computers even mac or linux or 2 pc's can use the same thunderbird profile
Don't forget the 100's usefull extensions and skins for thunderbird.
Mobile sync
I have not heard of funambol before. Can you tell me if it will sync the status of emails. ie if I have read it on the mobile it shows as read on the desktop.
I have a desktop, laptop and mobile (just upgraded from Tytn2 to Touch Pro 2 and well impressed) and would like to sync the pst files on all 3.
I have found software (Sync2 from 4Team Corp) that works automatically from the laptop to the desktop by creating a third party copy of the pst anywhere on the LAN which doubles as a complete backup of Outlook, nice solution and mine is set to sync every 10 mins for all 3 of my business email accounts.
What I cannot do is to sync the status of emails with my Touch Pro 2 and the 4Team Corp help desk say that they cannot do this. With mobile communication being so key and easy today with superb tools (from HTC) to work, one of you cleaver buggers out there must be able to sort the issue and sync the mobile pst with the desktop version.
Large beer on the table for the first to provide a real solution!

I have been living on MS-LookOut for many years now. I use standard IT practices (like keeping up to date on patches, automatic archiving) and I find Outlook to be very responsive, and I have a 2G mail store on my laptop. I manage my own Exchange server, and it has been very reliable and responsive. It is a matter of using modern platforms- a netbook class machine with XP just won't cut it.
My Outlook Mobile could be better- I wish I could have multiple exchange server support.

Then you haven't used Lotus Notes. Yeah, it's primarily groupware, but it was the ony e-mail client my former employer would allow. And it was horrible.
I have no problems with Outlook. I use Thunderbird for accessing personal e-mail at work, but I prefer Outlook by a mile.

+1. There is a limit of 2 PC's only on Activesync but it works as it should.

Yes, and on the other hand, I don't think there is a limit as to the number of devices a PC can sync to - maximum I have tried was 5 PPC to one PC and to a single Outlook profile.

I think x number of PPC are allowed to be connected to one PC, BUT 1 PPC can only sync/connect with max 2 different PC's. It can connect as a guest on more than 2 PC's though.
I tried connecting my TP2 to my work PC and active sync asked me to delete either desktop PC or laptop to make way for work synchorization.
What you said is correct!
Seriously, if you're planning on using more than one PC for emails, you're better off keeping them on the mailserver anyway.
Gmail with IMAP access means that I could access them from Outlook on my home PC, work PC and netbook (if I didn't like their web client) AND my TP2. And the changes I make on any of them apply to the rest.
That way, you don't have to worry about backing them up, because even if your machine catches fire, you just connect via IMAP on the replacement and get them all back again.
It is OK to use and like Microsoft products

Same here. I wish it would support multiple exchange servers.
Also, I have not observed any response problems at work. We have several anal-retentive, email-saving people who absolutely refuse to archive their emails. All of the email hoarders have 10s of thousands of emails, and multi-gigabyte mail stores on the laptop. Everyone is happy with the Outlook/Exchange combination. Schedules are synchronized, assistants have access to delegated mailboxes, etc.

Alsa

however, i only have an hotmail email account, how do y sinc this with outlook and my pro2?
might not be possible, so maybe some1 can tell me how to sync my contacts to my outlook?
kind regards
Oh, man. I see you're a total newcomer, welcome to the Windows Mobile world! Your phone will look like complicated at first, but after a couple weeks playing with it, you should be able to start harnessing it's power.
Pocket Outlook is integrated on your phone. The contact tab, calendar, tasks, etc IS pocket Outlook itself.
In order to sync your contacts with windows, you need to have the syncing software installed. It's on your phone's CD. If not, then you can get it from Microsoft:
Windows XP and earlier, use Activesync.
Windows Vista, Seven, use Windows Mobile Device Center.
After the syncing software is installed, just plug in your phone, select activesync, and follow the instructions on-screen.
To sync your hotmail account directly to your phone, you can use Windows Live (add it to the program tabs) and then sign-in. If you want it directly in outlook PC, then search for the Outlook Connector.
For hotmail; go to the TF3D--> Settings--> email setup menu and enter your details as prompted; it will automatically create a hotmail connection file for you
