Isn't that a function that HTC Sync offers?
You can find it on the sd card of your phone.

I used export from Outlook and it worked fine, try using a different file type as google accepts oodles of different ones.

I don't know if it's possible with Outlook instead of Windows Mobile, but you can try.
Sync Outlook (contacts offcourse) through ActiveSync with the gmail server. (m.google.com I believe...) Then all your Outlook contacts should have been synced with gmail.
Maybe backup your contacts before trying.

Google Calendar Sync
I use Google Calendar Sync for that, works great http://dl.google.com/googlecalendarsync/GoogleCalendarSync_Installer.exe

Program to sync contacts and calendar other than Outlook

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.

Anyone knows G-sync vs. Outlook

The Desire is my first Android phone, and never used google sync to synchronize the contacts. I have 2 questiones,
1. Is the google cantacts format as same as the outlook contacts?
2. If I sync the phone contacts with outlook then sync with google's, will generate the dual same contacts in the phone?
Thanks a lot.
I ended up exporting my contacts from exchange as a .csv file then importing into my Gmail contacts so I could use the Hullomail voicemail app effectively.

Problems with Outlook sync

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.

serious help with outlook and evo

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?

[Q] syncing adroid to gmail without outlook

Hi,
firstly may I apologise if this has been covered, I did complete a search without
success.
I do not have Outlook on my pc,
is it possible to sync contacts with gmail without outlook, if not is there a relatively inexpensive method of purchasing Outlook ?
regards
Geoff
If you have a Gmail account and Android, you do not need Outlook at all.
Outlook can only sync with Gmail with Google Calendarsync AFAIK.
On your phone in Accounts and Synchronization, Add your gmail account and choose the items to sync.
- contacts
- gmail
- picasa
- calendar
What are you currently using on your pc as a contact manager application?
Backup your contacts to your SD card and then restore them but select your Gmail account to add them too. It will then sync the contacts to Gmail
Use MyPhoneExplorer which is free.
Thank you for the replies,
I do not have a contacts manager.
I have exported to SD card, deleted and copied back as google contacts,
it now appears to be a gmail upgrade problem as the phone error message
>Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly<
I'll just have to wait to see if it works.
Geoff
