I just upgraded my TP2 to wm6.5 and started adding contacts to my phone. When i sync with my desktop outlook gets the contacts off my phone but not the other way around. I added new contacts to outlook to make things easier but they won't sync to my phone.
Notes and emails from outlook sync to my phone, just not contacts. I never had a problem with my dopod doing this.

I have upgraded to mUn_2.00.SE_WWE_GPS and everything seems fine apart from the orange voicemail bug mentioned in another post.
Messenger synchronized my msn contacts onto the phone so I had 2 of each which was fine as I have all ready read about this issue.
So I updated the msn ones and started to remove the original ones from the phone.. They have a different icon
All appeared fine. It would tell me when my contacts were on line etc etc.
I then went to outlook and made sure there were no contacts in there so I could have a fresh updated list of contacts when it synced.
However these contacts will not synced. I created a test one in outlook and that synced fine to my phone. Am I missing something here??
All I want to have is the same contacts on my phone/windows live and outlook. Surely this can be achieved??
Are you using ActiveSync 4.5 already...? I suspect that might have got something to do with your issue
Do you get any error-messages at all ? Giving us some more clues....?
And very important: what version of Outlook do you run ?
more info, hope you can help now
I have it synced with 2 machine and neither work.
1 is windows XP with active sync 4.5 and outlook 2003 the 2nd is vista with the mobile device center and office 2007.
I can sync normal contacts created on the phone or in outlook it is just the ones imported from live messenger that will not copy back to my outlook contacts.
I have a feeling the phone does not recogonise these as contacts as they have a different icon from ones created on the phone. It looks like a grey folder rather than the little address card.
Please help
Hmmmzz....actually this is very interesting; i didn't dare using Live Messenger up until now just BECAUSE of the syncing of ALL messenger contacts into Outlook. Now that you report that it doesn't, the question raises if M$ has meant this to be...
Then again; did you check the settings under Windows-Live (on your Trinity)? You can go to 'options' with the right soft-key, and there are 6 setting menu's there, where you need option 2 to check the box in front of 'Contacts and Messenger'
Let me know if that worked for you...

contacts are NOT merged, but only show up in 1 list
contacts are NOT merged, but only show up in 1 list.
sim contacts
outlook contacts
msn contacts
are shown whithin the same contact browser but are not really merged.
Each contact type only syncs with it`s proper sourec, pocket outlook wit desktop outlook, msn with msn (or say "live"), and SIM contacts with SIM-import-export programs.
that's all and that's ok.
the real issue is that i find "show SIM-contacts merged yes/no" but cannot find "show msn contacts merged yes/no".
it sucks, but not really too much.

So guys
My mobile device is all trough Windows Live now.
All my contacts are in my MSN list with phone number and all.
Also installed Outlook connector so i can see my mail and contacts at Outlook.
Now the big problem is...
When u use Outlook Connector it creates a second contacs map like this example: Contacts at [email protected]
But active sync syncs with Contacts and not with Contact at [email protected]
And if i simple copy my contact from the live account to contacs it results in a copy of all contacts on my Hermes.
Screen: http://x.cixx-online.com/x/sync.JPG
Any one got any idea to change this?
Thnx
Active sync will sync your outlook 2007 contacts,
Live Messenger will sync your Live messenger contacts.
Outlook connector lets you access and manage your Microsoft Windows Live Mail or Microsoft Office Live Mail accounts, including e-mail messages, calendar, tasks, notes, and contacts.
If you are using Live Mail instead of outlook 2007 active sync will not sync with Live Mail contact list.
Hi,
Is there any good programs that I can use to sync my Artemis calendar and contacts to my computer? I've used M$ Outlook, but recently I did a clean Windows install and I can't find the Outlook disc.
So if you have a good alternative to sync my contacts, calendar and also, if possible, SMS and emails, I'd like to hear from you.
Thanx in advance!

Hi, you can sync with Active Sync and save your contact to Outlook Express
i have sync calendar, cantacts and tasks with free exchange server at mail2web.com.
I am quite happy with this way because when i have to hard reset my 3300 on the trip i can sync my all contacts back through gprs in few minutes on air and without any PC.

Use Google Calendar and GMobileSync
Hi all,
I'm having troubles with Outlook synchronisation for a long time.
I use normally the MyPhone software to synchronize. This is mainly because when I synchronized with Outlook through ActiveSync a lot of my appoitments (and contacts) were twice in Outlook and in the phone.
What the best would be if Outlook took the data from MyPhone, but that's something impossible.
An other option is to "clean up" the Outlook calendar and contacts before synchronisation. The problem in this is that I don't know how and if this is possible?
Double entrys in Outlook won't botter me that much, however in my phone they do.
Can someone help me with this? I guess I'm not the only one suffering this problem...

A laborious alternative is to sync back to Outlook on your PC, remove the duplicates on your PC, then sync back to device.
If you want to do it in Outlook, you may find it easier if you change the view of your calendar to display by Categories. On Outlook 2003, this is achieved by:
View > Arranged by > Current View > Categories
I'm having some problems with syncing my HTC calendar with Outlook. the first sync seemed to go fine, but now HTC Sync seems to go through the process of syncing and then reports success, but my Outlook calendar hasn't been updated.
Any suggestions on what I can do? (My computer is running Windows 7 Home edition.)
Many thanks,
Joe
problems with outlook sync
Looking at it using the manual settings, it seems to me the HTC Sync isn't set up for Windows 7 -- it's looking for outlook folders where they're not. Any thoughts on how to remedy this?
Joe
From reading the Desire sync file, it may be that the problem is that it's syncing the Calendar with the All Users Personal Folder (which I can't find) rather than the Joe F folder.
Any thoughts on either where the all users Personal Folder is, or how I can get Sync to find the folder where my calendar is stored?
Joe
HTC Sync sucks...
I have also had problems with HTC Sync. It´s not very riliable.
I have made a G-Mail account and then installed: CompanionLink
I have setup companionlink to auto sync my calendar and contacts from outlook every 15 minutes.
You just setup the phone to sync with g-mail and it works like a charm without having to use cable and think about it.
this maybe not what youre looking for but it´s a solution that works
MicTh
I hadn't heard of companionlink but I'd inadventently discovered that when I synced my gmail my calendar was synced to the gmail calender. I'll add companionlink and have a complete solution.
Ta.
