Gosh, I'm looking for several hours and probably I'm just blind now. Search in xda shows very old post which are not of any help.
I really would like to know how to sync Windows Live calendar and contacts with EVO?
Please do not suggest gmail or one time one way .csv export.
I guess calendar is the biggest issue.
HTC sync can do some USBsync with outlook, but I do not have nor use outlook.
Big Thanks
edit 8/10
wow. I really thought that there is some solution.
Is Everybody using just outlook instead?
I do like LIVE so much better and it has 25GB free storage and so on.
there are some ideas to use gmail , but I do not see how that would actually work.

I just got my TP2 a few days ago and really like it so far... had a bit of time getting ActiveSync to do what it's supposed to with Google Contacts and Gmail, but finally did it. I am using GooSync for the calender sync as I sync several calenders and this keep the formatting better.
My problem as it stands now is that calender only offers me two views; Month and Day. Something has switched and I no longer can access the Year, Week or Agenda views.
Can anyone offer any help on the matter.
Thanks very much and I hope to one day offer more t the group.
The reason you can't see the standard calendar stuff is because the default calendar that you see isn't the standard Windows Mobile Calendar (as you remember it), it's the HTC TF3D overlay version of calendar.
The stock WinMo caledar is still there...not sure right now the easy way to enable it, but you can access it from "All Programs".
That doesn't solve your problem, but it explains it.
Thanks very much... it does indeed explain the "problem."
Interesting that it differs by such slight differences that makes the program seem buggy rather than different.
... for the Desire/Android?
I've come from a c905 where I'm used to using MyPhoneExplorer, which quite frankly is one of the best pieces of Windows software I've ever used. I'm sick of trying to organise my contacts on the phone and would like to be able to do it on my PC then synch that to my phone.
Anybody?
Use Google Contacts. All your contacts are saved in the cloud. you can edit on your phone or using a computer via browser and they'll sync.
By the way, please use descriptive subject headers next time.
Thanks for the reply, that makes sense now I think about it.. I'm still very much new to all this fandangled malarky.

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.

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.

Hi All.. I'm a old user of OSX and sync Gmail calendar and contacts werent a problem with the native OSX support for them.
Now I must sync my contacts with Microsoft Live Mail 2011 and I havent idea how do it... Doesnt matter if the sync is from Gmail to Live Mail or from USB Galaxy Nexus to Live mail... but I must find a way to transfer and keep update my contacts on live mail.
Someone can help me?
thanks in advance,
stefano
I would just use Gmail, less hassle than what you're trying to do. I don't know if that's even possible. There isn't a lot of integration options for Windows Live Mail.
yes it can be done, but it's a PITA to maintain
i wrote a HOWTO guide way back in the i9000 forum to do that

Hi
Does anyone know if there is an app or software for the task I need to do. I have a Samsung s3 mini I use the calender app on it to keep a track of my rota, I would like to synch this calendar with the outlook calendar on my computer and the synch this with calendar on my nexus 7 is this possible. I'm currently trialling my phone explorer but it is duplicating all my entries and I can't solve the issue, so wondered if there is any other way. Don't really want to use the Google calendar.
might be way to go
Has anyone had any dealings with jorte calender, this looks an easier way for what I want, can load it on tablet and phone then synch them using there cloud system just won't have a copy in outlook, but its not end of world.

There is a way to sync your outlook calendar, but this would be way easier. Not an app but a program for your computer
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gappssync.
Just sync your current calendar with your google one(Should probably be like that already) then add whatever new events and stuff from google calendar or outlook rather than any other app you may use.
