Tip?
If you are looking for a way to sync all your contacts to your Android and HTC Sync doesn't work anymore it is possible with this tool:
tools.google.com/dlpage/outlookmigration
It syncs your contact to your GMail account and then you can sync your Android with GMail. It is a workaround....
Thanks Thats brilliant

I am currently using my Xperia X1 and I use the Outlook calendar and contacts and sync between computer and phone daily(book appointments and meetings etc) and I was wondering if I can sync Outlook with the HTC Desire Android phone as I am about to upgrade from the X1 to the HTC Desire(possibly X10 if I can get a confirmed date for release of Android 2.1 update)
Yes you can, HTCSync (supplied with the Desire) can sync Contacts/Calendar with Outlook though I haven't used it extensively (I sync Outlook with Google then sync Desire/other devices with Google).

Hey how do you sync Outlook contacts and calendar with Google? Email works fine but cant find a good solution for contact/cal. Thanks
Forum won't allow me to post links, sorry.
For contacts Go ContactSync from webgear.co.nz
For Calendar, Google Calendar Sync
Not sure why you are discussing 3rd party solutions, when I set up my exchange mail account it also synced calendar and contacts.

I believe the OP wants to sync to desktop Outlook as opposed to an exchange server.
Ah, my bad, sorry.
I posted a link to the software here in another thread:

Thanks for the info guys. I did try "Go ContactSync" as I heard great things about it. Unfortunately I got error after error. I think the culprit is Win 7 64bit - dont think it works on it
Anyway will go the HTC sync a go. Thanks for your help again!

There is an application that runs on the desktop called Companionlink that will use your Google account to sync with Outlook (inc. Tasks).
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?

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

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.

how can i sync my contact from Outlook to Gmail ??? so i can transfer them to the phone ?
i sow somewhere software that sync the conatcts from outlook to Gmail and in this way i could be able nc to get the conatct to my desire after i sync it to gmail
can anybody help me please?
(p.s. i tryied the easy way to export CSV file from the outlook and import it on gmail but its not good and all mixed up the name and everything.. so i prefer other way)
thanks !
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
Have installed Defrost (open desire ROM)
I want to sync my phone with my PC (Outlook, contacts, calendar)
I know that I can not use HTC sync with this ROM which I really really like (the ROM)
Does any body know a solution????
Most important is that I can sync calendar!
Thanks in advance
I installed Google Calendar Sync on my PC.
It hooks into Outlook and synchronizes your outlook calendar with your Google account calendar. The sync can be 1 way (from either PC or phone) or 2 way.
All you need is your phone to have an 3G or WIFI connection to update.
Only downside to this is that it does not do contacts and email
Hi,
Anyone knows how to sync the HTC Desire with outlook Imap calendar?
My company won't let me directly access my Outlook Calendar via a push, so there are 2 ways that you can do this. One is by sync'ing through the HTC Sync program with your Desire USB plugged in. The second, and my favorite, is to download Google Calendar Sync to your PC, let it 2 way sync with your Outlook calendar and your online Google Calendar, then your Desire can sync with your online Google calendar. The second method allows for 2 way syncing that keeps 3 calendars always in sync.
