Is this possible?
There's an Exchange where I work, and I run my own Exchange at home. Currently I have my device paired with the home Exchange, but I'd like to also pair it with the work Exchange...
I searched [the internet] and I could only find things about using ActiveSync with Outlook.

I have a privately owned Qtek 9000 using the latest Imate Rom.
I have my personal email (from my home desktop) synced to the Pocket PC Partnership.
My organisation runs exchange server 2003 SP2 and I would ideally want to us push email to sync my business emails to my device, but keep the personal emails seperately.
I know Active Sync states that you can only sync one set of email accounts, but when I set up a partnership with my work pc the "sysnc with 'exchange' directly" option is offered. I have thus far declined this offer as I want to keep my personal mail sync.
Does the restriction on only syncing one email account apply to the scenario above?
Thanks
Hi Steven,
I think with the current version of ActivesSnc we are limited to only syncing one account at a time (either via Exchange or PC). I've tried a bunch of different options, but doesnt work with exchange.
The way I got it to work, is set up a new account with POP settings in the WM5 device, but this by passes activesync completely...
Good idea, I hadn't thought of that.
Thanks
Hi,
I want to connect to my work Exchange server. However, the option for Exchange is missing in the ROM. From the email setup, Pick your provider, I get Internet e-mail or Custom Domain.
There should be one for Exchange server there, but there isn't.
Can anyone help to get this option back?
Cheers

Hi,
Surely someone must have an answer for Exchange support?
Set it up via the ActiveSync app on your phone, not the email setup.
Cool,
Thanks. I'll try that. Just reflashing at the moment...
Works For Me
If you go into the activesync program, select menu, then select "Configure Server" you can setup your exchange server through there, works great for me, constantly synced.

Does this push your calendar to your dash as well as the email? I just purchased the G1, didn't even have it 24 hours. It certainly has some shortcomings but I was enjoying the calendar and email sync from google. Got back to my office and I was moved to the exchange server and of course no support on the android. I really like a lot of the features of my dash, but never had exchange before. I guess I am going back to it but wonder if my calendar and emails will be synced?
Yes they will. That's the whole point of a mail server like.. exchange. To sync your email !!
Yes, it does calendar too
I can confirm that the ActiveSync Exchange configuration works on the Kavana and Ricky ROMs. Not only emails, but also personal calendar items sync. Group calendar entries, however, do not sync. THIS IS NOT specific to Kavana/Ricky ROMs. It's just a feature that Microsoft left out of ActiveSync in Windows Mobile all the way up to v6.1. You should warn your Exchange support people that they should discourage group calendar use, as Microsoft incompletely implemented it. Instead, people should use the traditional invite/response system that puts calendar entries in the personal store when they are accepted.
I hear that there are third party agents that run on the Exchange server and, basically, copy group invites into all of the group members' personal stores so that ActiveSync syncs them, so if your office insists on using group calendars then they should look for one of those server add-ons.

I'd like to sync my HTC desire's calendar and contact with Outlook from work. The issue is that at work I do not have priviledged rights to my PC, so I can't install any program and our IT helpdesk does not want to install for me an Outlook add-on that would sync with google calendar/contact.
The only thing I can do though, is to run programs on my work PC that don't require installation (ie portable apps only).
So far, what I have been able to do was to run portable thunderbird on a UBS key, collect my Outlook contact with portable thunderbird. Then transfer these thunderbird contact to thunderbird installed on my home PC and with the gContactSync addon, the thunderbird contacts extracted from thunderbird are eventually synced to my google contact(and then obviously to my phone). This is however a tedious process that I can't do on a daily basis. And it's only a one way process from home to google/phone, not the reverse. I'm wondering whether I could do this in a more convenient and more automated way (including possibly the calendar)?
Also I know the Desire can be synced with Exchange servers, but I doubt it would be feasible in my case: To start with, I don't know how I would be able to do that, and in particular how I would be able to collect the exchange server info required for the setup without the help of the IT services (they won't be particularly helpful because it is not for pro usage).
Any advice would be nice

Well, you can always try a way that worked with iPhone and any other device with MS Activesync.
If you have a VPN account to your company, try to connect with a VPN client to your desire and then you can setup an activesync account to your phone.
Try it using the actual ip address of your exchange server.
It worked for me in the past.

And of course your windows account.
I don't like the gmail app
But it doesn't want to connect to m.google.com
I think you are referring to Exchange ActiveSync (EAS).
No, you can't connect to Gmail via EAS, however, you should be able to use the default Mail client to connect to Gmail via IMAP. The biggest difference here is that it's "pulling" the email at a set interval rather than pushing when emails arrive.
Edit: You could try out alternative Mail clients such as K9-Mail also. I haven't tried it, but it's highly rated: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.fsck.k9

How come you can use google EAS with windows mobile ?
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.
