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?

c) Establish a vpn tunnel to office from home to sync your home outlook

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...

Google Calendar Sync
5 March 2008 Google Calendar Sync allows you to sync events between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar.
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=89955
You can now access your Google Calendar account from your mobile phone! Just visit mobile.google.com/calendar/ with your phone's web browser and once you're logged in, you'll see your list of upcoming events with date and time information in an easy-to-browse format.
Cheers

Hi all,
I have bought HTC Touch p3450, and I wanted to transfer all my contacts from my old Nokai N-Gage Classic Phone. I exported all my contacts by using backup contacts software for Symbian to a .VCF file. This VCF File has all my contacts, but when I am trying to import it to outlook it only imports the first contact.
I have seen some shareware software who can do the trick, like VSync or VCard etc. which imports only 5 contacts for all it requires registration Do you have any freeware alternative for VSync? or is there a different way I could use?
Thanks....
I would like to bump this thread, as I have a similar requirement.
Google Mail contacts can be exported into a single .vcf file, and if there is an app that allows import of multiple entries into Windows Mobile Contacts, that would be super useful and would avoid the need of messing around with CSV files of any sort.
Also, Google exports then as v3.0 vcards - does pocket outlook support his version ?
adrield, if you open your vcf with a text editor, what does it show for VERSION: within each vcard ?
Cheers,
nwpsys
What is it?
Utility to run through all your Outlook contacts and identify ones where either the birthday or anniversay is missing an entry in the calendar. Oh yes and an option to add it to the calendar.
Why is it needed?
Outlook misses adding these events from contacts expecially when importing from PSTs. (In my case I'd managed to lose quite a lot of entries during ROM flashes and resyncing.) There wasn't any reasonable utility out there and the ones that were available were paid. So here's a free one!
Requirements
This runs on the PC and not on your phone.
Make sure your PC has .NET 3.5
Change log
v0.2 - Basic functionality. Should do what it says
Thank you!
Simple and Useful Thanks mate
Does know any App, software, tool or suggestion on Converting Outlook Notes to Android Memos?
in the worse case scenario, i'll have to manually copy and paste them over, i don't have that many.
Not as I know off.it need to support naively by the email client I think.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Does EverNote Desktop support importing? if so use that
Anybody else found a solution for this?
the next closest thing i found was using Note Everything
very similar to WM notes, as you can enter Drawings, Voice Recordings, Text notes, etc.
only problem is that it can only import .csv files from Outlook Notes export, and those Drawings notes from Outlook notes wont get exported/imported properly.
copy paste
I cut and pasted 35 notes into catch.com today
then sync'd it with the Android app.
Pretty basic, attach photos, private or share.
Cons: no formatting, no audio.
seems pretty good @ the best price .. free.
using win7, no active sync, I don't use outlook.
I'm using gSyncit to sync Outlook to my google account. This tool syncs Outlook notes to Google Documents.
Then i can view&edit these docs with gDocs (Android app).
hello, how well does Windows phone 7 sync with Outlook tasks?
Hi,
as far as I know, Outlook is unable to synchronize tasks to the cloud via the Hotmail Connector. So you wont be able to get your outlook tasks to your phone. However WP7 does support tasks and so does Windows Live. You can create and view them in the Calendar Hub (swipe to the left). You'll just be unable to synchronize Outlook with them. You could contact the Windows Live team to check, wether tasks synchronization will be included in the next Connector Version or not.
If your tasks are stored on a Exchange Server you will be able to view them in special apps.
Regards
Chris
To-Dos in Windows Live are not Tasks, they're To-Dos. That is why they are named differently. You can't set Recurring To-Dos for example. For someone who seriously uses Outlook Tasks, Windows Live Calendar To-Dos are useless. Trust me, I've tried harder than I care to say.
I just sync my Outlook Tasks to my iPod Touch through iTunes and use that.
Both Windows Live and Google Tasks/ToDos are pretty rubbish, IMO.

Almost correct. Since Mango you don't need 3rd party apps to view, set up and edit Outlook tasks when using an Exchange server. It's part of the Windows Phone calender. But some apps provide more features than the calender does.
I believe exchange server is a Microsoft's business product. Something that a normal consumer do not have access to. Does that mean I am pretty much out of when it comes to taking my Outlook's tasks mobile except for as N8ter suggested using iTunes and an Apple device.
I want to avoid using Apple device at any cost.
Thank
I took O365 account for 6eur a month. Gives me own cloud with exchange email, calendar, tasks and contacts sync perfect with my WP7. I also have Onenote synced to the O365.
Yes, its not free but Im happy I took it.

Ok. Thanks I'll have a look into it. Is it similar to Apple iCloud which is free of charge?
I never used iCloud, but assume O365 is way more powerfull.. Its like GoogleDocs + all I wrote before.
You have your own cloud to sync everything I mentioned and you can also share office documents to non O365 users. You can decice what documents you share and to whom you share that specific document to. And like I wrote before you have all office tools, word, excel, powerpoint and onenote as browser based applications too.
If you want to sync onenote with your home computer(s) you need Office 2010 installed.
You get an address for the 6eur a month (something like [email protected], I dont remeber but you get the idea), but I took myowndomain.com for 10usd/ year to get my email as I want m([email protected])
Its is pretty cool to have my own exchange server + all the other things I wrote.
Also I took in to consideration that if I would ever change mobile platform, exchange would always be able to sync my contacts and email to the new device without doing other changes.

No. Apple iCloud is similar to SkyDrive, which is also free of charge. Sharepoint is much more powerful and secure.
Since the Mango update Tasks sync with Windows Phone 7.
If you sync with an exchange server, tasks that you view in Outlook will be on your phone under Calendar
Under settings for email accounts, for Outlook, there is a checkbox for Tasks.
Then, tap the Calendar tile.
swipe to the to-do tab.
See your tasks there.
From a task, you have the options Complete Edit and the ...

what does Sharepoint have to do with Office365?

Sorry, mixing things up. Office 365 gives you Sharepoint functionality to share Office files and sync OneNote with your phone, as well as Exchange for Outlook functionality (email, calendar, contacts, tasks). So you get quite a lot for something like $6 a month.
will I need Microsoft Office SharePoint Workplace? Because I only have Microsoft Office 2010 Professional not Professional Plus.
Don't know. Just head over to the Office 365 website and find out!

You don't need Sharepoint Workspace for Office 365 - Sharepoint Online can be used entirely through the web.
In fact, you don't even need Office desktop at all to use Office 365 Although if you have desktop Word / Excel etc, you can switch from the browser Word / Excel to desktop version by clicking a button (this doesn't work in the Google Chrome browser). Web versions are quite good but have limited features.
Another nice thing is that the mailbox size for Outlook online is 25GB and so far, very fast
I think MS offer a 30-day trial so you can test it out before paying any money.
Thanks, I am waiting for my Omnia 7 to arrive, and once it does. I will sign up for a 30 days of Office 365 and see if I get this going.

I am looking at Outlook right now at work. My Outlook Tasks are synced to my Windows Live To-Dos, which I guess you are not disagreeing with. However, within Outlook I do not see the ability to set recurring tasks, this is only possible within the Calendar section of Outlook.
There is a button for recurrence in outlook. You not being able to find it does not make it not exist. I've been using outlook since office 97. it has almost always had recurring tasks.
And paying $for a redundant service to sync tasks I'd terrible value proposition.
