Funambol + Thunderbird.
What's wrong with outlook?
If you like Google, you can sync directly with Gmail Mail/Contacts/Calendar..

Pretty sure Gmail Mail sync is not available yet. Only Contacts and Calender unless you are talking about IMAP.

Of course it is available!
Contacts and Calendar by Exchange (Active sync)
And mail by IMAP (2 way synchronisation) ;-)

Nuevasync works perfectly for google.
Email arrives on my phone before it hits my desktop PC
Also syncs Calenders and contacts perfectly, just waiting on the promised categories to calenders feature to come along

I am currently using my Xperia X1 and I use the Outlook calendar and contacts and sync between computer and phone daily(book appointments and meetings etc) and I was wondering if I can sync Outlook with the HTC Desire Android phone as I am about to upgrade from the X1 to the HTC Desire(possibly X10 if I can get a confirmed date for release of Android 2.1 update)
Yes you can, HTCSync (supplied with the Desire) can sync Contacts/Calendar with Outlook though I haven't used it extensively (I sync Outlook with Google then sync Desire/other devices with Google).

Hey how do you sync Outlook contacts and calendar with Google? Email works fine but cant find a good solution for contact/cal. Thanks
Forum won't allow me to post links, sorry.
For contacts Go ContactSync from webgear.co.nz
For Calendar, Google Calendar Sync
Not sure why you are discussing 3rd party solutions, when I set up my exchange mail account it also synced calendar and contacts.

I believe the OP wants to sync to desktop Outlook as opposed to an exchange server.
Ah, my bad, sorry.
I posted a link to the software here in another thread:

Thanks for the info guys. I did try "Go ContactSync" as I heard great things about it. Unfortunately I got error after error. I think the culprit is Win 7 64bit - dont think it works on it
Anyway will go the HTC sync a go. Thanks for your help again!

There is an application that runs on the desktop called Companionlink that will use your Google account to sync with Outlook (inc. Tasks).
Helle guys!
I'm most likely going to buy Desire tomorrow. My HD2 changed the Lockcode automaticly today. And I'm so tired of the SMS bug and all that other things so I'm going to trash it.
My question is, can I synch Desire with my hotmail? I have everything over there, Calendar, Contacts, Mails, etc.
I love the way this function is intregrated in Leo.
Thanks for reading guys...
Yes, you can sync the desire with hotmail. I think server is pop3.live.com and smtp is smtp.live.com. I have set it up and works fine. I don't know if this is an EU only thing or USA as well..
Not too sure about anything more than the email. I have google calendar and contacts, which works best for obvious reasons..
Good luck

Hey!
Thank you dude!
I'm going to buy it then.
You can't really sync with Hotmail. The only thing you can do is receiving your emails trough pop3. You cannot sync your calendar or your contacts as there is no native hotmail or windows live app/integration for android.
What you could do is import your hotmail account into gmail and then sync your desire with gmail and you'll get your contacts and calendars and of course your e-mails. You can even send your e-mails from you gmail account with a different e-mail adress. After the import you can set your gmail account to query the pop3 hotmail server every 15 minutes to get your mails.
Did this for my girlfriend, so she can get all her mails from hotmail including contacts and calendar.

Well, I just bought this phone and are at home right now. I have heard about this before, I'm going to try it out
I'm getting mighty confused by these multiple calendars that have appeared on my device and getting them to sync with my Google calendar.
Here's my set up. I have all contacts and calendars on my Google account before I started. I set up my Desire to sync with them using Google account.
All seemed fine but I found the Gmail app on Desire pretty limiting so I set up an Exchange activesync account linked to my gmail account for my mail (always worked well on my HD) and set it to sync calendar and contacts too. I then disabled all the syncing through the google account to avoid complications.
Unfortunately the exchange account doesn't seem to be configured for push and has no option to change this but that's not why I'm here.
Coming from WM, I'm used to having one calendar that is in sync between Outlook on PC, Google calendar and mobile device.
When I co to calendars on my Desire now I have no less than 4:
My Calendar
xxx @ gmail.com
Exchange
PC Sync
What's going on here? Which is which? So far HTC Sync connects but will not swap any contacts or calendar items with device and vice versa. Nor do appointments I add to the device show up on Google Calendar.
I suspect that this is because these different profiles seem to be associated with one platform - outlook / google / desire - or another.
Can anyone shed any light?
Many thanks, M1.
For anyone else trying to work this out there is a useful (bit old) thread here:

It seems you need to be careful which calendar you add entries too if you want them to sync with cloud mail - I unticked the box next to My Calendar so now entries I add on the Desire default to the google account calendar and sync as expected.
Now have to get to grips with the PC Sync calendar and work out why none of my events and contacts are syncing with out look. Sigh - it's just another learning curve i guess ...

Push can be enabled under the Exchange ActiveSync Settings. It defaults to every 10 minutes, there's a Push Mail option.

Untick them all except Exchange and you'll just see Calendar entries updated by Exchange. I don't have an Exchange option incidentally, so just untick them all and it still shows.
xx @gmail.com is using the Google Sync interface but you said you dislike the Gmail App. PC Sync is for using HTC Sync via Outlook. This is really for non-Google Calendars/people locked into using Outlook. As you're using Google, you're better off updating direct from Google.
You can in theory use Exchange ActiveSync for E-Mail and Google for Calendar/Contacts or visa versa but obviously it makes more sense to use one method or the other. As Gmail supports Exchange ActiveSync, there is basically crossover between using Exchange ActiveSync (and the HTC Mail App) or Google Sync (and the Gmail App).

I presume, so you have them in Outlook too? Don't bother.
I use GSyncit to update Outlook. This talks directly to Google and gets Contacts/Calendar. It's well worth the $10-15. For me it goes:
* Outlook to Google via GSyncit: Both ways
* Google to HTC Desire via Exchange ActiveSync (or Google Sync if I prefer): Again both ways
ok i have an outlook email account but its not part of activesync. I can of course get my email on the phone but on one of my older phones the mogul I could set up my outlook on it and i used it to receive vcf files, and my calendar, appts, and reminders.
is their any app or way to get it like that on my evo?
Moxier mail works for me
does moxier mail read vcf files? and can it pull in contacts? also isnt it 30$

The HTC Sync software actually works really well for me. I have Outlook 2003, and between it, and my google calendar, and work calendar, it all shows up fine on the Evo.
HTC Sync will take some tweaking, though. Your contacts (google in my case) will appear doubled - you'll have 'phone' and 'google' contacts - just link them and they'll sync either way - up to google or down to your outlook. The phone will act as the bridge between them.
but does that enable you to view vcf files? and import info?
