How to import a calendar on WM6

Hi all,
I want to import a calendar from Outlook to my Trinity on WM6.
May I ask to explain me how to do ?
Just to clarify the reason of my demand, I know that if you synchronise you will have all the datas, but on my company, the USB ports are disabled by the administrator, so I want to export the calendar file and import it to my mobile (by email for example).
Thanks in advance for your help

copy your outlook.pst from the office to a portable device (CD-Rom) if your PC has a burner and than syncronize at home

sorry I think you're stuffed- if you copied a .pst file via CD ROM you'd be able to sync once. Change your calendar at work and you have to repeat- it's unworkable.
I don't think it's possible- I presume if your USB ports are diabled, there is no way you could install any other software, and the chances of having a CD writer are low two.
Can you ask your IT folks to install Active sync and a USB cradle for you?

interesting idea about google calendar.. i've been looking for a solution like this so my secretary could update my calendar for me at work, without using exchange since our company doesn't have it. What do you use to sync your google calendar? there seem to be so many different options..

I was using this http://remotecalendars.sourceforge.net/ as it was in italian too... But at that time it was almost the only app, now you can find tons of them... RC is an Outlook plugin, but you can find a standalone Calendar Application...
We have Zimbra now so I don't sync with Outlook any more and calendar editing is done via web by our secretary...

Hi,
I see you have an orange icon, so you call with orange? they have a agenda function on their website, you need to login.
maybe that's a solution.

Google calendar is a very good solution. I'm using it with "oggsync" whitch allows me to synchronise google agenda with my 3G connection and oif course with my mobile outlook.
I'm only still having one issue, Google calendar can send invitations but aparently, you can't receive an invitation from a non goolge calendar, you receive an email and then you have to import that iCal file into google calendar.
It would be better if I could receive my invitation directly into google calendar but it's not possible, I'll look further on that, maybe i'll find something.
Thank you very much for your help !

I was thinking about Orange too but I'm not allowed to acces to my orange account (firewall) but I can acces to google calendar. Gmail is not allowed too.

Outlook invitation can cause strange issues, especially if your contacts are different between devices.
And you can use only Outlook or PIM Backup ver 2.5 to backup appointments with participants on your trinity (other programs or older version of pim backup gives errors during restore)
Glad to help!

Sorry,
I don't know any software able to read a pst, except for some tool to repair a pst under xp/vista...
...But you should be able to read a .cal file and import it into outlook...
To import my calendar from Motorola A1000 I used to prepare a big cal file and import it with Remote Calander. Outlook 2007 (I don't use it) should be able to import cal file directly...
OT2: Have fun, I can only watch it on tv

You have to place both the jar and the jad in the same dir.
The jad only isn't enough.
Didn't try it though.
Install any email client with IMAP support and enjoy gmail.
^.^

Don't forget to activate IMAP protocol in your Gmail options !

Thanks for these suggestion. I am using really great e-mail application "ProfiMail". However I really like this on-line mobile java application of gmail (I am using it on my SE p990). This is very convenient and doesn't need to store messages locally - that's why I am trying to start this java gmail.
Adwinp: I could not to download separate JAD and JAR files, because the download and installation process is automated after click on link on page http://gmail.com/app
There is no installation files for download manually...
Is anybody can help me in this, please?
Regards!

If you don't want to store them on your phone, use opera and access googles webmail... it has a mobile version as well...

I M A P does not store the messages locally - thats what its all about...
IMAP
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
stands for Internet Message Access Protocol. It is a method of accessing electronic mail or bulletin board messages that are kept on a (possibly shared) mail server. In other words, it permits a "client" email program to access remote message stores as if they were local. For example, email stored on an IMAP server can be manipulated from a desktop computer at home, a workstation at the office, and a notebook computer while traveling, without the need to transfer messages or files back and forth between these computers.
IMAP's ability to access messages (both new and saved) from more than one computer has become extremely important as reliance on electronic messaging and use of multiple computers increase, but this functionality cannot be taken for granted: the widely used Post Office Protocol (POP) works best when one has only a single computer, since it was designed to support "offline" message access, wherein messages are downloaded and then deleted from the mail server. This mode of access is not compatible with access from multiple computers since it tends to sprinkle messages across all of the computers used for mail access. Thus, unless all of those machines share a common file system, the offline mode of access that POP was designed to support effectively ties the user to one computer for message storage and manipulation. more...

I am getting an issue similar to yours where I go to m.google.com/mail/ and click "install", and it says there's no app that can open gmail.jad. On my old phone, it downloaded and installed it so I dunno what's up with this. eBuddy's online client for the Diamond and OperaMini both do the same things as well.
I'm on the Sprint version.

I have had the gmail app working for a while on my motoA3100 wm6.1 fone but suddenly it has ceased to remember the email settings after exiting ...I uninstalled, downloaded the recent minor version update, and still no luck ...what to do? ...corrupt settings database file somewhere that needs deletion?

Microsoft MyPhone

Hi , i had a diamond and my contacts were sync with MyPhone from Microsoft but now , i bought an htc hero and i want my contacts!
Is there a way to use My Phone or another way to have my contacts at Hero ?
regards;

You should be able to download your contacts in .csv format from the MyPhone site. Then, either put them in outlook an use HTCSync on your PC or, load them into a Gmail account and they will sync automatically OTA.

What does this have to do with "Hero Android Development"?
Please post in the correct forums!

a newbie with 294 posts?!??! should know better really.

You can setup a google account in your Diamond, then sync your contact with Google. And when you use that same Google account to activate in Hero, it will sync your contact.
Or, you can use Sprite Migrate, it can also sync your Contacts, Call logs, Bookmarks, and SMS. I beleive it's free until Jan, 2010, so be quick.

Looking for advice on HTC Sync, Outlook 2003 & Google Calendar

Hi all.
I'm looking for a little advice.
I currently use Outlook 2003 at work along side HTC Sync (HS) to sync my calendar entries to my Desire.
Is it possible to sync (only) the HS entries on my phone to a specific Google calendar? Ideally I'd like to sync the HS items into an online Google calendar just for work so I can see it online when I don't have my phone.
Happy to use an app if that's the only way...
By the way I can't use the Google Sync app for a couple of reasons; my company regards it as a security risk and it doesn't allow you to select the specific google calendar that you sync to - at least not as far as I know.
Thanks in advance.

Setting => Account & Sync => Add An Gmail Account => Sync Calendar
if u can't use this , there is a plugin for outlook that allows u to sync your outlook calendar & contacts , with Your Google Calendar & contacts ( if that's of any help ) , it's quite easy to find if u google it ...

Thanks Skywalker1726, but that's not quite what I meant.
My fault should have been clearer. I already have my phone set up for my google account but I have several calendars in that account.
As far as I can see I can't select a particular calendar to sync my Outlook items to. It looks like only Google calendar items can be changed.
I don't suppose you know the name of the outlook plugin? I tried googling for it and came across way too many dead beat apps.
Just to repeat I'm looking for a way (or a phone app) that allows my to select a specific google calendar for the items I have synced to my phone using HTC Sync.

Here is the link , Hope that helps !

Quite good but not quite right...

Thanks for the link and the suggestion.
unfortunately, it's "too similar" to the Google Sync tool and therefore my company think it's a security threat (I know there are worse things out there but go figure )
I suspect that I need something that works on my phone and allows me to select different calendars to sync back to.

Bump - any suggestions...?

Any suggestions?

If I'm understanding correctly you want your Outlook calendar to be synced "to the cloud" (in this case Google) which you can then access from your phone (or online when you don't have your phone).
I had a look and can't find any apps that will copy your phone calendar to a Google calendar. As you are using Outlook 2003 and can't use Google sync your options are a bit limited.
If your company uses Microsoft Exchange then you should already have remote access to your email / calendar on the web and you can also connect your Desire to this using the built in HTC calendar app. Your IT person should be able to get you set up fairly easily.
The only other solution I know of is to use a third party sync program - outlook 2003 doesn't support saving calendars in ical format (which you could have used as a manual workaround).
Sorry not to be more help...

Fair enough. Thanks for trying. Unfortunately my company are quite backward about their use if IT so pretty much any sync app or Exchange integration is out.

I am using gSyncIt. Not free, but it does the job between Google and Outlook. A lot of option to customize the sync, including several calendars.
Not sure what method it uses to sync, so maybe not working for you. But I know my company IT is as well in "stone age" and blocks nearly everything. But gSyncIt works.

[Q] Copy calendar from HTC HD2 to Desire HD

Hi
Moving from HD2 Winmobile to Android DHD, I have the following newb question.
I like to copy the calendar from HD2 to the DHD not using anything like Synch SW or Google.calendar or similar.
I like to do it via Bluetooth but it does not work.
Any clever idea.
Thanks a lot and regards
Rolf

There's an app on the dhd called transfer data.......try that. It should import contacts nd calendar events....havent tried it though.

I really recommend you setup a Google account on your HD2 to sync your calendar and when you setup Android and Gmail account it will do the rest by itself.
I was in your shoes and this is what I have been doing now with calendar and contacts and it's so easy and works perfect, plus if anything were to happen like you lose your phone you won't have to worry since everything is backed up.
If your interested here is how to setup a GMail account to sync on your HD2:

Thanks for the hint. I tried last night and the app works find, however the app has predefined options and it does ONLY work for contacts. No calendar entries !
@ero22, the company pc is locked and we can't install anything
How about copy the file which contains the data 1:1 ?
does anybody knows the file Name ? Thanks
