Hello evryone
After getting some hours to spend with my new Pro2 i was checking out the options to sync agenda email contacts etc.
However i am a new user to win mobile and i wasnt using outlook before on my laptop. I just installed it, however to sync it i have to enable the options in the mobile device manager that standard comes with the phone.
When i tried to sync my email etc i noticed that outlook is not installed on my pro 2? This is normal? i can get it of the cd aswell? how?
im a total beginner, any help would be apreciated
thanks in advance

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

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.
Hi,
I have a trinity with wm6 running.
I do not like Outlook at all. I run Thunderbird for my email.
Does anyone know of a way to sync the contacts on my phone with those on my pc, ether with the Windows Vista built-in contacts or with Thunderbird directly.
Or even a third party program that could run when my Trinity is in the cradle.
TIA

SyncExpress can be an answer but it's not free :-(
Thanks, if the program is worth it I will pay. But syncExpress syncronises between outlook express and PPC, windows vista doesnt come with outlook express, but I use mozilla thunderbird anyway.
Check out http://oggsync.com/ It will sync with google calendar and I'm sure you can get google calendar to sync with thunderbird.
Take a look at this page. It has some options for Syncing TB with PDA. I think this is what you are looking for.

I've looked for this issue but haven't found it, so please excuse me if you know of a thread which answers it. There's also nothing in MS help. Thanks to all who read this and treat me gently.
Firstly, I'm trying to understand why ActiveSync 4.5 has got settings for both the Windows PC and the Device (called "Tytn" in my case) under Tools>Options? I've attached an image if my description is unclear.
Then secondly, I want to know how I should have Email syncing set-up so that I have my Pocket outlook and PC outlook inboxes and sent items sync'ed.
In my Active-Sync set-up on my PC, everything except for Emails can be checked under both Windows PC and Tytn. If I have Emails ticked under Tytn, the emails in Outlook Inbox also appear on my Pocket Outlook. But I cannot place a check against Emails under Windows PC. I get the message "You cannot synchronize E-mail because it is already synchronizing with Tytn. To enable E-mail for Windows PC, clear the E-mail check box for Tytn and try again".
If I do this, I am warned that my emails will be removed from the Device. I can then check the Emails on Windows PC. If I try to check Tytn as well, I get the same message but in reverse. With the Emails ticked under 'Windows PC' none of my Outlook Inbox appears in Pocket Outlook.
I can't see the point of this option, but perhaps someone can clarify, or point me to a resource which explains everything
Cheers
It looks like you are syncing your device with two PCs? I think emails can be synced with only one pc.
If you are not syncing with two pcs, then delete the one that you are not using, and try to sync email.
Thanks for responding ai6908. It's odd because I've only ever connected the Tytn to one PC. However, on your advice I right-clicked on the Windows PC icon and selected Delete Desktop... and my dilemma is gone.
Trouble is, now it's made me wonder what that option might be for?

Did you buy a used phone from somebody? It maybe it, anyhow, glad it fixed the problem!
Nice reporting on time man. ActiveSync while in the start ask if you already have profile on your PPC. So next time when you changing computer or the windows of your PPC. Remember to remove the setting from activesync by deleting mobile device that sync with activesync
I need help, I recently installed Windows 7 Professional on my desktop Pc. I then installed Windows Mobile Device Center and Microsoft Outlook so I can sync/backup my contacts. Well now when I try to sync my phone Windows Mobile Device Center gets an error. I tried to sync it with my laptop that is running Vista Ultimate and i get the same thing. I think I probably need to hard reset my phone but I can't because I don't have a backup of my contacts since I reformatted my desktop pc. Anyone know what the problem could be with my phone that's causing it not to sync? Or what is another useful tool to backup contacts. I have Microsoft My phone and it won't let me backup contacts cuz I already have it set to backup thru Outlook.
Are you running Outlook 2010 on a 64 bit operating system by chance? If so, the Mobile Device Center won't work. I was searching about this all morning.
D.
No i'm running Outlook 2007. I think it has something to do with the phone cuz I'm unable to sync it with Vista or Windows 7
Have you a gmail account?
If so set it up with Exchange to sync your contacts and calendar, then you can reset the phone
i have the exact same problem!
besides that, i see that when i sync, Office 2007 (and WMDC 6.1 on Windows 7) takes the contacts i have in hotmail, and the contacts i previously had on my phone, and adds them all together, and then syncs them to my phone.. this is killing me, everything i sync my phone i have a bunch of unsorted and unwanted email addresses in my "contacts" in the phone.
any solution for this? before i used to sync contacts with no problem, in Office i even had a seperate group for hotmail contacts and just my phone contacts.. now its only 1 group together, any idea how to separete them??
Hi there,
I used to have a windows mobile 6.5 device. I sychronised over the air with exchange for work, contacts, calendar, email and notes and then at home via activesync and usb cable between the same phone and my home pc.
This meant that my phone, home and work machines had calendar and contacts in sync.
I have purchased a new Windows Phone 7 device.
For home I have configured the home outlook to sync with windows live. I have set the phone up to sycn with both windows live and with my work exchange account.
On my phone I can see contacts from either source (work exchange or home outlook) However this is displayed as being from the source accounts and will not merge/sync through to the other account.
I would like to (and used to be able to with 6.5) for example add a new contact in outlook, have it then sync to windows live (working) then sync to phone (working) then sync to exchange (not syncing contacts added elsewhere back to exchange). I would also like to be able to do the oposite (add something to exchange account and have it appear on home account via syncs.
Does anyone have some ideas, suggestions, solutions?
Please feel free to ask questions if I have not been clear.
from what i can see, you can link contacts but not merge them completely.
the only way i've been able to do it is to edit the contact details and save them to the appropriate account...but i wouldn't do it for all my contacts..
best bet would be to do it on the computer. can't you sync outlook to your work exchange and then sync your phone to outlook?
Hey there,
thanks for the response. unfortunately i can't sync home outlook direct to exchange, we have ip security for access.
It used to work a treat under win mo 6.5 this is a real backward step.
Any other ideas greatly appreciated.
