ActiveSync tweaking synchronizing

I have a Windows Mobile 5 based device and I use activeSync 4.2 with Windows XP SP2 and Office 2003. I would like my work-contatcs and my work-appintments on my work-PC also show up on my mobile but I DO NOT want my private appointments and my private contacts of my mobile (that get snyched from my private PC) show up on my work-PC. So is there a way to force active synch when connected to my work-PC to only synchronize work contacts and appointments ?

Of course. You can Clickon the "Options"-Button in AS-Configuration-Dialog and you can tell AS, which categories shall be synced.

How to sync contacts from pda with Outlook?

Hello,
i've a pda with WM 6.1
My problem is bidirectional synchronization.
The situation is:
1. On my mobile device are about 200 contacts (names, telNr, emails, adresses)
2. On my desktop pc with win xp + outlook 2003 (yesterday new win xp installation). Outlook is empty and doesn't have any contacts.
My problem in the past was deletion of new contacts on my mobile device.
For example i met someone in a club. He gave me his number and email adress. I type all the info on my mobile device.
If i plug my device at home (via ActiveSync) and tried to sync the contacts from my device with outlook on desktop pc this new contact was deleted!
Everything what wasn't on desktop pc was deleted.
Now i have my contacts only in my mobile device. Hot to set up active sync, mobile devic, desktop pc outlook to get the contacts from mobile device to desktop pc?
I'm afraid to lose all my contacts if i connect my mobile device with desktop pc :-( That everything will be overwritten with empty destkop pc outlook.
How to make the synchronization bidirectional?
1. If something is present only on mobile device and not on destkop pc -> save it on desktop pc.
2. If something is present only on destkop pc and not on mobile device -> save it on mobile device
3. Avoid duplicates
4. DELETE NOTHING FROM MOBILE DEVICE
Is it possible?
Please help me out :-/
best regards

Hi,
Sadly enough M$ does not use their AS themselves, otherwise it would be much more up to its task...
Best way to operate is IMHO : use PIMbackup to have a copy of your contacts saved. then sync the PDA and PC. When done, go into Extra | Options and change the settings to 'Leave item on PPC'. Restart PIMbackup and put back your backup-file. By the time you're finished doing that AS has already copied all your contacts from PDA to PC.
Dirk

have you looked in activesyncs settings
click Options
right click on the pc
choose source settings
look at the "if there is a conflict" dropdown
also it's always a good idea to backup your outlook on the pc
you can do that by exporting the pst file

Syncing Calendar + Todo info Windows Mobile 6 with .ical file.

I store all my PIM data for Calendar and Todo in a .ical file on a remote server owned by me. My PIM application suite on my computer (not a Mac, I don't use iCal) is able to sync with this file and it's incredibly convenient for me to use.
However I would very much like to be able to sync Windows Mobile 6 with this so I can edit/view it on the go. Does anybody know if this is possible? If it isn't possible to sync it directly to a remote server I do not mind manually synchronising it too.

Bump.
If this is not possible using the built-in calendar and todo application does anybody know/recommend a calendar + todo suite that can sync with a remotely hosted ical? Through FTP would be good. I don't mind a one-way sync (server -> phone).
Or if that isn't possible either, what about an import service?

[Solved] iCalendar & Multiple Calendar support?

Not the Mac iCal format, but web calendars (iCalendar) support. A lot or organizations are using iCalendar to allow people to subscribe to calendar and event updates, Outlook supports this but its added as an additional calendar and does not sync to my windows mobile device. Is there any way/app to add iCalendar support to Windows Mobile?
>> UPDATE see below <<
Solved! through a combination of Gmail (which I use to subscribe to my multiple iCalendar appointments) and the free version of Nuevasync.com, which allows my WinMo 6.5 device to synchronize with all my Gmail calendars. Nb. Tried Google sync, but it only supports synchronisation with the main Google calendar and also OggSync v4 but I had issues with a time zone bug (despite installing the update) which caused all my appointments to be at incorrect times. Nb2. This is by no means ideal, but tell WinMo-7 comes out similar hacks are our only options.

>> UPDATE-2 see below <<
Found a better solution to synchronise Google calendar with my Windows Mobile device without using Microsoft Exchange, the programs called "Inesoft Calendar 2" and supports direct synchronisation with multiple Google calendars without messing up the built in calendar.
Hope this helps others, and maybe MS will fix this eventually..
