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.

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.
Hi everybody,
the switch from my TyTN II to the Rhodium was far from painless so far. I use the T-Mobile German version with the 6.5 upgrade. Running on 6.1, the Rhodium was far from stable and I was fearing I'd break my back cover from having to remove it so often for a reset. But even the update to 6.5 didn't remove the following error:
After Syncing I find in my calendar (mainly on the current day) one or more rows of identical, empty appointments that cannot be deleted, or rather, that seem to show up again and again when deleted.
The trial version of "Duplicates Remover" then shows literally hundreds of identical appointments.
Does anybody know a fix for this, or a hint where the bug could originate?
I have mixed experiences with Active Sync as I'm synchronizing with two PCs, so appointments and contacts have been deleted/are cropping up again long after deletion. I wish it was as effortless as HotSync on my Palm used to be ...
I'm sorry if this question has been asked and answered before, but forum search didn't come up with anything useful (maybe I've used the wrong search terms).
Thanks, Robert
*bump*
anybody have the same issue? hundreds of empty appointments on the day I start sync? I talked to T-Mo support and they didn't know the problem.
Robert
I've noticed the same issue recently with my HTC diamond 2 after upgrading to Outlook 2007 SP2 on a Windows XP laptop with ActiveSync 4.5.0 (Build 5096). The problem did not exist previously when running Outlook 2003 and syncing the same laptop and device.
Also have the device syncing with a Vista laptop also running the Outlook 2007 SP2 without issue. The difference is that vista uses the mobile device centre software instead of ActiveSync. I've searched the internet for a patch or update to ActiveSync for Windows XP but it seems I'm running the most update version.
I have the same problem with windows live, outlook, plaxo, and messenger, the problem is messenger really doesn't like you messing with the contacts and pictures attached to messenger just aren't really supported and are more or less user defined by the contact... so you get multiples... then syncing can create a info loop... still working on the problem but as for the calender what I found is to go and remove the repeating occurance... bet this is where the problem lies I have loads of them! I ended up deleting the folder and starting over! I created a dummy folder set it as my default and then deleted the corrupted one... I have found no program that changes all repeating events to one time events...
<fingers crossed>
At the moment I seem to be rid of most of the duplicates. In the end I had to do another hard reset on the mobile device, clear the duplicates from Outlook (2003), then sync. I have not, as I had before, synced the HTC with a second PC.
</fingers crossed>
Active Sync is really an embararssing piece of software ...
Robert
I have a similar issue. Got a Diamond 2, at home I run Win7 with Mobile Center but at work I have XP SP2 with AS. I get tons of blank appointments being created. If I disable calendar syncing, I get hundreds of blank contacts instead!!!
I use no messenger and whatnot - anyone has found a solution?
For me it was a problem of duplicate appointments and contacts.
I no longer synch using the wmdc now. Instead I just use the Microsoft My Phone service.
Notwithstanding, it would be great if microsoft could sort out the messy wmdc...
Yes, but the problem is that I deleted all my appointments and I've no duplicate contacts,a nd the problem persists... so it can't be that.
Also, no use for me using MyPhone as I don't use AS purely for backing up my device but also to sync it (surprise!) with my job calendar etc...
Duplicates...
I've had all these issues and my only work-a-round has been to make a backup .pst copy of my contacts/calendar at work (XPSP2-Outllook 2003), making sure that when sync is done, I delate the lot, and re-import them from the backup. This seems to solve the problem. Also recurring appointments can sometimes stuff up as they are interprited as 18hrs and not just 12hrs, which in turn can cause conflicts.
From what I can see it is an active sync issue that I have not come accross with Vista/7 & Outlook 2007+. With the different ways that these applications handle appointments/calanders I'm not surprised as to the corruption/dupplication of the data.
Another alternative option is to use PIM Banckup/SPB or other, let AS do it's thing, then over-right the phone with the backup copy, and let it re-sync the corrections.
I've triedto find something on MS helpdesk and leaderboards, but so far no success.
Hi everybody.
Did anybody get a solution (definitive, easy, fast) for this issue?
My sync was running nice and without problems for a long time. The same smartphone syncing with a couple notebooks... but I also starting get this same problem some weeks ago.
I've been hardly looking for how to fix it but I didn't find a solution so far.
Tks2all.
Over 3000 empty contacts in Outlook 2007 under Win 7
I have a similar problem, and haven't yet found any specific solutiion. I add contacts and calendar items to both my home installation (Outlook 2003 under WinXP x64) and my work installation (Outlook 2007 under Windows 7). I was able originally to sync my Samsung OmniaPro B7330 successfully with both systems (using ActiveSync 4.5 and Windows 7 Sync Center, respectively). The problems started when I tried to resync with my work system after adding a couple of thousand contacts to the Samsung which were on my home system. When I tried to resync there were no error messages, but I had to interrupt and resume once, because it took so long. Now I have over 3000 empty contacts on the work (Windows 7) system. The contacts still look correct on the Samsung and on the home (XP) system.
How can I get these contacts correctly on the work system?
Iam afraid to delete the empty ones for fear that the next sync will wipe the corresponding contacts with information from the smartphone.
The calendar entries seem to be working OK.
Any ideas or pointers to other possible sources of info on this problem?
P.S. If I observe the Outlook 2007 Contacts page while the contacts are synchronizing, it looks like there are 2 phases:
During the first phase, I can see the desired contacts being added to Outlook, one by one.
At the end of that phase, they somehow all disappear.
Windows Sync Center eventually says that the sync was "completed", without showing any error messages. Is there some way to get Winows Mobile Device Center to produce a logfile, so I can get a better idea of what is going on?
P.P.S. The last sync seems to have finally gotten the new contacts to appear in Outlook 2007. However, I still have over 3000 empty contacts. Can I safely delete them?
P.P.P.S. I went ahead and deleted them. I now have somewhat less than 3,000 contacts, with information that looks reasonable. Looking at my "Deleted Items" folder in Outlook, I see a bit over 12,000 contacts?!
Why this? In addition to the 3,000+ empty contacts I just deleted, there are 3 copies of each contact with information! The Outlook "Sync issues" folder conatins a string of messages distributed over the last week, about half of which mention "Conflict Resolution". I am now concerned that Outlook or WMDC may have done violence to some of the data in my contacts in the attempt tpo "auto-resolve" conflicts.
I have this problem if I sync via ActiveSync at work and Device Center at home.
I've learned the hard way that those two just don't play nice together. I keep praying that one day they'll kiss and make up...

I also have this problem syncing my HD2 with 2 PCs, one with Outlook 2007 and the other Outlook 2010.
All ran fine for a while syncing from my Work PC to HD2, and from HD2 to my Home PC. Out of the blue it failed to sync properly with my Work PC and 2,000 half-hour blank appointments were created at the current time and day. To make matters worse, most birthdays disappeared in 2011 and lots of entries were duplicated.
I spent a whole morning deleting the 2,000 blank entries and hundreds of duplicate appointments. Listing the annual events I found most were set to repeat every 12 years which explained why birthdays had disappeared! I've corrected this and things seem fine now with my Work PC, but I'm wary about syncing with my Home PC in case all goes wrong again!
Any solutions?
My friend has same problem with his HD2 (Win7, Outlook 2007, 2010).
With sync the Outlook make half hours appointments in the current day. Interesting: when I disconnect the phone, the empty appointments are dont cancelling.
Same problem here (around 150 of half-hour appointments in one day).
I am using HTC Diamond since 2008, the problem started in July 2011 when syncing with work computer.
I have no idea how to fix it.
I can only offer some information on what's going on.
When syncing, the first thing that happens is empty appointments are all created on today. These are then populated, setting the date, time, subject etc. So it sounds like your sync only gets up to creating the empty appointments and doesn't finish setting the information.
Sorry I can't be more help - unless the process is not allowing to be completed.
Hey all ! Questions for the lucky ones with Evos already in hand out there.
It's unfortunately mission critical to me to be able to sync my phone with my MS Outlook contacts / calendar / notes (appointments, reminders, etc) and so on. Not running an exchange server... Just need to be able to sync my Outlook personal data every night. It's a work thing, you see...
Anyone out there in the same situation and with experience to share ? How well and reliably does the HTC Sync software work, in general, and more specifically with the Evo ?
Thanks !

It doesn't only support 2000, it only says the latest version (2.0.33) supports 2000 - it previously wasn't the case.
Also, given that v2.0.33 supports the Incredible and the fact that I've read a couple times that HTC Sync actually comes with the EVO (on the SD card - EVO owners, what say you?), I don't think it's a stretch to assume it probably works with the device... All I want to know is how well HTC Sync works and how reliable & seamless the sync is; if EVO users have experience with it, then it's ideal and I'd love to hear !

I have the same issue and don't like the HTC sync tool. messes with other things. I sync the contact manually with Google contacts once a month. i do this with a CSV file. I then loaded Googles calendar sync app which syncs my Work outlook calendar to my Google Calendar.
I created a second Google caledar which i use as my person calendar to keep them seperate.
Not pretty but works and is not phone or brand dependant
Google Calendar has a tool on its website ( dub-dub-dub-dot google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=89955 ) to sync with Outlook automatically. I know it does Calendar, but I'm not sure about Contacts. I'm pretty sure I've seen something for Calendar contacts.
The phone will automatically sync with your Google Calendar and Contacts.

That's great guys but I'm not looking for workarounds through Google Calendar - I don't use Calendar, or Gmail. Putting my data in the cloud would breach confidentiality agreements with clients, unfortunately. So I need to know how well the straight-up PC to phone sync works... Until now I've been with WinMo (on HTC, of course) since it just works so seamlessly (well, the synching part), but I'm way overdue for a jump to Android...

I am also making the switch from WinMo to Android, here is what I did to "sync" my contacts. I am not sure what I am going to do in the future, but mine don't change much anymore (4 years of working with outlook contacts, they are pretty up to date).
Sync'd phone with Outlook Contacts
Used PIM Backup to backup Contacts
Established OTA sync with Google (selected contacts only). This will remove contacts from phone.
Restored Contacts using PIM Backup
They then Sync'd with Google Contacts.
You might want to delete all your contacts on Google first or make sure you setup what has priority for the sync in the direction you want. Only takes about 10 minutes and ALL info is then sync'd properly.
HTC Sync 2.0.33 works fine with EVO. It can sync Outlook Contacts and Calendar items. Despite the fact HTC sync application says you can only sync Outlook 2000/2003/2007 I'm using Outlook 2010 and it works fine. Automatic/manual sync options are configurable. It's more stable than microsoft's active stink...err sync, or windows mobile device center.
on the SD card
HTC Sync 2.0.31 is included on the EVO sd card - works fine for me with contacts and calendar on Outlook 2007 - a little slower than active sync but it works and I'm happy with it.
I'm running XP

Thanks everybody ! Awesome to hear that it works well, especially on 2010 - that was one of my worries, since it's also what I'm running. Sweet !
outlook 2010 beta does not synch- even w 2.0.35
running win7 64bit & office 2010 beta, outlook 2010 does not show up in HTC Synch as a application w contacts or calandar available to sysnch (will only show the built-in windows contacts app as compatible.
Someone in this forum said it works, but does not say how, also, perhaps they are using the non-beta newly released profession version only available to corp accounts right now????? (consumers can't get RTM until June 14th).

Solutions for Outlook Sync
check out the following two solutions. they are both pay to play but will allow a 14 day demo period. Companionlink is a pretty decent google sync that uses google gmail for a conduit. I was skeptical but it does a great job. Seamless with the exception of Outlook notes. It even updates all contact notes etc. Calendar and task sync through google calendar. So far works pretty good. The second program was just was released this a.m. it is from dataviz, and is called roadsync 2.0. It uses exisiting htc contact, mail interface, but uses stand alone, tasks, calendar interface. This seems pretty decent as well just not as used to going to a second program for calendar. It is about a third of the price of the companionlink alternative.
using htc sync off the memory card... syncs great with calendar and contacts of outlook 2003. Wish wish wish it had notes... but with capacitive - is there even a decent notepad app?
People hate on me all the time for this - but sometimes I miss winmo (omnia or x51V)... was a little more mature and business oriented and tied in to outlook/office:
+synced great with outlook (contacts, calendar, email, NOTES - even with audio)
+whole operating screen would to go HDTV/Projector/monitor/tv through VGA or composite
+WMV/MPG/DIVX/XVID... all seemed to just work (TCPMP love!)
+Text to speech didn't sound like Hal while boards being slowly removed...
+Speech recognition - Voice Commander was TITS!!! LOVED IT. Handsfree!
+any bluetooth Keyboard, some mice - my laser keyboard all worked great!!! HID or SPP
+windows/startup let me easily kill off any task I didn't feel was necessary...
there was no amazon MP3 or other **** that felt it NEEDED to be ready to run at any moment if I didn't want it.
+ROOT out of the box!? Sometimes I think - would people really buy a computer if it only came with user and not admin permissions? and they couldn't delete bloatware and stuff?
+SDIO/CFIO? expansion possibilities - REALLY? an SD or even mini is too big?
+CF 32GB + SDHC 32GB = 64?!?
+IR (how fun is that at sports bars and magnolia/best buy, CES?)
+Fully functioning Office - word/excel/pp ... out of the box!
+RD/TSC
+WM mediaplayer(which had it's faults) DRM ecosystem... worked... so you could do rhapsody/amazon vod and stuff...
...
OK - sorry - I've vented. I'm done. X51V love forever! 6.5.3 was sweet! Screw you Dell and MS for killing a great system.

HTC Sync v 2.0.40 syncs my Outlook contacts with no problem, however I keep getting errors attempting to sync the calendar...
Unfortunately HTC Sync doesn't give me any real error message. I did a quick pass and could not locate any error logs either.
Any help? Was hoping this would be as seemless as ActiveSync/WMDC and I could avoid 2 to 3-step syncing.

Has the sync issue with Outlook 2010 64-bit been solved?
Hey,
just got the SGS and my first impression is great. The screen is fantastic, it allmost feels like a toy because of the low weight (it's usable with one hand) and it feels really fast. I can stream music with spotify while surfing on the net, multitasking works on this unit. I'm very glad to the rid of my HD2 which had a lot of specs, but never was reliable.
Anyhow, I'm used to sync with Microsoft Myphone but I can't find out how to export or in any other way move my contacts to my new phone. Googled, but the only solution I found was to sync to a windows mobile phone and export from the phone, but since I've sold my HD2 that's no solution for me.
What's the best way to sync the phone? (email and contacts most important) Does android/samsung got something like the myphone? That is the best sync-method I've tried so far.
Any thoughts ?
hello there
i had exact the same prob 3 days ago
never found an easy way to do it so I
sync the pocket pc with outlook...
exported svc from outlook
import the svc to gmail contacts
added my account details to android (contacts/menu-key/get friends)
took around 20 mins after all for all that
good luck

The best method I've found is to use this free service http://miqlive.com/ .
I also migrated from a HD2 to SGS. But luckily for me before I traded in my HD2 i used Miqlive for winmo 6.5 and synced all my contacts and sms.
Then just a few days ago MiqLive for android was released, so now I have all my contacts back.
Your best bet would be to borrow a friends winmo hp to sync with microsoft myphone and then sync to miqlive.

No you can't.
"Unfortunately, there is no way to download the data that is stored in your My Phone web page directly to your computer.
You could sync your phone to My Phone and then sync your phone to your computer to transfer the data from My Phone to Outlook on your computer.
Then you could work with the data in Outlook on your computer."

Thank you for trying to help me. Too bad I can't sync without having another phone. I'll probably have to do it manually then, don't have any wm phone to borrow.
The 'miqlive' was great, just what I've been looking for It works really well and does everything as good as the myphone app.
When I bought me Focus the ATT rep installed a new sim card. The rep didn’t copy all my contacts from my 2 year old Fuze running Winmo 6.5. I haven’t seen anything in Zune to copy my contacts from Outlook to the Focus. I have copied through activsync all my contacts from the Fuze to Outlook but can’t find a method to know get the outlook contacts on my Focus sim. Thanks for any suggestions.

Windows Phone 7 does not currently sync directly with your desktop Outlook client (via USB, or any other directly connected method). The phone was designed to sync with cloud-based services, which means that it ties into your Windows Live ID (Hotmail contacts), or Exchange ActiveSync accounts (such as Gmail).
A workaround would be to use the Outlook Connector to add your Windows Live Hotmail account to Outlook, and then copy your contacts from your Outlook file to your Hotmail account.
The phone automatically syncs Email, Calendar, and Contact information from your Windows Live ID.
