I just wondered that if I have 2 seperate Laptops is it possible to Synchronise my work Outlook's E-mail with the PDA and then synchronise it with my home PC.
It seems that I can Synchronise contacts, tasks and calender, BUT the e-mail Inbox are not able to be operating under 2 different partnership??
Any Idea on what is the situation?
Thanks

Sync-ing is fine. How can I live without it? Well I often have to, and I don't like it! I work for weeks or months at a time for clients on their sites and am expected to use their e-mail and calendar systems. However (and quite correctly) many of them won't allow connection to their systems of devices that they have not supplied and configured, so no syncing of my calendar on my PDA (Orange SPV M2000). I know it is possible in MS Outlook to export and import calendar data to and from files, and the files themselves can be sent by e-mail. Does anyone know of complementary software for Pocket PC that can do the same thing, i.e. take outlook calendar data in a file and use it to sync the Pocket-PC calendar (and vice-versa). Yes, I know it is messy, but it isn't half as messy as having to manually keep the two calendars in line!
outlook let you export and import things like that
as you see fit
you can just choose to export the calender to a pst file
and then import it to a nother pc with outlook which the xda can sync with
or maybe one could send an emial from the outlook you cant synch
with invisting you to all the appointments of the calender you require to
have on your device
Is there anyone have such solution? That is very problematic since now my home PC would not sync its contact with my PDA if I want to synchronize with my office!
Does your office have an exchange server? Exchange is by far the best solution to multiple syncs. when I got an exchage account at university my life changed - now my mac, my pc, my xdaII, my xdaIIs, and my laptop all sync up AND all my contacts, calendar, mail etc are available over the web as well.
Thats good for corporate- but its not good for us who need to use outlook for personal and corporate usage- I wont be able to connect back to office with a native outlook client- and that I dont want as well.
I am working for two companies and have to keep both Outlook/Exchange agendas up-to-date. Until now I did this by plugging my Qtek S100 (WM 2003) into each of the PCs. As we know, this is no longer possible with WM5.
Has by now anybody found a solution or an elegant work-around, or do I have to stick to two PDAs, one for sync reason? Thank you and best regards, Stefan
why is it impossible with wm2005?
i sync with everything on my desktop at home
and sync with calender and tasks and notes and favourites
on my laptop at work it works without any problems at all
You can sync everything from both into your one device, but you would need Intellisync. It would not be set-up as an exchange source on the device, simply as 2 seperate PC's.
Obviously having the two set-up means you would not be able to sync with your home PC because you're limited to 2 ActiveSync PC connections, but you could still set-up your own Exchange source with any of the push mail providers to do this.

He mentions Outlook and Exchange. 2 Outlooks isn't a problem, but 2 Exchanges is.
2 Exchange Servers the Problem?
That is not my experience with WM5.
When establishing the partnership with Outlook1 I have to decide if I want to sync my calendar with that Outlook - which I do want.
Upon establishing the partnership with Outlook2 I cannot choose calendar to sync with Outlook2 as it is already being occupied by Outlook1.
And yes, behind both Outlook is (a different) Exchange Server, but I would not need to sync with the Exchange Server directly, synching with both Outlooks would be good enough.
Thank you AlanJC!
Thank you Alan, your hint lead me to a working solution.
I synchronize Agenda, Contacts and Tasks with Exchange Server 1 via Server Synchronization.
I synchronize Agenda, Contacts and Tasks with Outlook 2 using XTNDConnectPC, which allows me to synchronize the data of my WM5 Smartphone with the contents of the Outlook-Client.
BTW: Intellisync worked as well, but had some flaws in "forgetting" to synchronize certain Calendar entries with other people participating. XTNDConnectPC does not seem to have that problem.
Thank you again, Alan!
With all the high end questions and support I feela little silly but can't seem to find an answer anywhere. Is it possible to do a selective synchronization between Outlook (2007) and my Smartphone (T-mobile Dash w/WM6)?
I want to have all of my contacts in the outlook contacts folder but only want to sych specific contacts to my Dash. So my Outlook would have all my friend, relatives,business contacts, old info, etc. but I only want to synch my business contacts to my Dash..
I am running Vista Ultimate, Outlook 2007, and using Microsoft Mobile Device center which works great to synch everything...
Possible?? Need 3rd party app...
TIA all!
Two Outlook Calendars
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have expanded our company and we are now keeping 2 calendars in our outlook. We have 4smartphone set up and it syncs both of our outlook calendars with no problems.
I am trying to get both of the calendars to sync to my phone..
Is it possible to sync two calendars, from the same outlook program to the phone.
We have set up 2 calendars within the same running version of outlook and we can view them both at the same time side beside etc but they do not seem to sync to the phone.
Anyone got an idea on how to make this work?
THanks

I think it's possible, but you risk duplicating all the entries between the two.
So, what happens is you sync Calendar A, then Calendar B. Then when you sync after that, because your device has only one calendar database, it syncs ALL the appoinments from both A & B to each on your PC.
Hope it made sense, but to do it, it should be just a matter of setting up a connection twice, one for each.
2 Calendars
I understand what you are saying, but i think i might not have been clear.
In Outlook 2007 you can have as many sub-calendars as you want.
We are now using 2,
Calendar 1 syncs with 4smartphone.net and syncs with my phone using 4smartphone.net
Calendar 2, which is a sub calendar syncs with 4smartphone.net just fine, but doesnt sync with my phone.
I guess my question would really be, how to sync a sub calendar and main calendar with my phone.

Sorry, missed the part about using a seperate server. I thought you meant through AS or WMDC, try contacting your server.
server
no its not on a seperate server
i have 1 program of outlook running on my desktop
within outlook i have 2 calendars open
with outlook 2007 you can have as many sub calenders as you want.
all the sub folders sync with my 4smartphone.net account no problems at all
but when i activesync it only takes the main calendar...
i need it to sync the subs also, like
email
you can pick which folders to sync but there is no option for calendars to do teh same.
Maybe if you had two different activesinc .....????? I really don't know but you would have to figure out how to have one activesinc syncronize one calendar and another activesinc sycronize the other but I have no idea how you would set this up. If there is another program out there that can also syncronize then use activesinc for one and the other for the other calendar.
Just thought, but I really don't even know if anything like this would be possible. I might just be right out in left field with this line of thinking.
Alright, how many .pst files do you have for outlook, and check what options you have for syncing the calendar through AS.

I have several calendars, contacts and task folders that I sync. Use pocket mirror professional. I do believe this is what you need. There is a trial demo so give it a shot. A valuable tool for myself.
I have all this in 1 .pst file
just extra sub calendars
