Sync only a contact category

Hello,
Here is the situation: I have Outlook 2003 at home and MS Exchange 2003 at work (and do not have access to exchange informations outside my work). I am synchronizing my PocketPC at home only currently.
I want to be able to synchronize my work contacts from my MS Exchange at work with my PocketPC, BUT I do NOT want my personal contacts to be stored on MS Exchange (because unfortunately we often have to give our email password to colleagues for urgent reasons; and I would not feel well if all my personal contacts where stored on my work servers).
Is it possible to do this ? if yes, how did you manage that ?

Email Questions

First - thanks to everyone at xda for all the tips and help - what a great site!
Now don't laugh when I say that I have a T-Mobile (Danger) Sidekick. I have been happy with it but I want to replace my SK and my Pocket PC with one device instead of two.
With my Sidekick, I got a separate [email protected] account. My email came through without me checking it and I could also receive and send from some other accounts (like my personal earthlink account) The email came through without me having to check for it. (I don't know of it was push or pull but it works quite well)
I am seriously considering getting a Fuze but have some questions about email:
1 - Does AT&T give you a separate email address?
2 - I have read that I can get my personal earthlink as well as gmail and yahoo mail on the Fuze but do I need to have AT&T's "express mail" to get it?
Thanks so much.

To my knowledge, at&t doesnt give you an email address. You could use gmail with the gmail app or through opera, but im not sure if theres an app that would work with the touchflo 3d tab. If you have a live account you can use windows live mail and that does work with the tf3D tab. Im not sure about earthlink or gmail though. Hope that helps.

att gives you an email address, but it's *your phone number*@att.mywireless.com or something like that.

you can also get a media net email address.
with the fuze, my yahoo mail is pushed to my phone at the sametime it appears in my web browser (if i am online at the time)
i also have active synch synch up to my corporate exchange server email using https

Thanks for the replies.
I don't have an AT&T account (yet) and I do not use Outlook for email so I am unfamiliar with both.
I still don't understand: what exactly does AT&T's "express mail" do? Will I need it in order to get my earthlink mail on a Fuze? I know I can check mail through the web browser but will the WM email client receive my earthlink email automatically or do I have to manually check for it?

MS Exchange - How many domain, email redirections ?

Hello lucky people using MS Exchange,
Do you know how many domain name are you using on you MS Exchange account ?
I would like to be able to have 2 alias with 2 different domain name on a MS Exchange, but don't know if it is possible ? I am planning to open a 1 user MS Echange account at Sherweb.
And I would like to know if I can redirect my Gmail account to my MS Exchange account ? and is it possible to reply to these email as if I was sending it from Gmail ?
Many thanks, Chris

It's possible but only if the two mailboxes are hosted on the same cluster. It sounds like you're trying to access your work Exchange mail and a Sherweb account, which is currently not possible. Exchange doesn't have a feature which checks a POP3 account and downloads the mail as far as I know but if Gmail has a feature which forwards all mail then that could work. You can't reply to those emails from Exchange and appear as if it was sent from Gmail, but you can set up the actual Gmail account on your phone and send from it.

I did not want to access to my work email account, just use 2 different domain name on 1 MS Exchange mailbox.
Can I use on 1 MS Exchange mailbox, 2 email alias with a 2 different domain name (for example: with the 2 domain names 'example1.com' and 'example2.com') ?
Thanks, Chris

Enterprise Activation On Andriod

Let me first apologize if this is a question which has been discussed at length in another area.
My company currently uses blackberrys with an enterprise exchange e-mail system (i suppose that is called BES with blackberrys, no?). Anyway, on my old blackberry, all I had to do was put in my corporate e-mail and an enterprise activation password. From there the setup would do the rest. Is there any way to get my new MyTouch phone to get hooked into the system the same way my blackberry was? Cost is irrelevant, I just want to find a solution.
I have looked at software options (i.e. touchdown, and the work email program) with no luck.
Thanks for any help the community could offer!

Sorry I got no answer, but this is ment to be posted in the general discussion:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=492
Reported

BES servers users BES accounts and they link are like this:
Blackberry <-> BES <-> Exchange
In Android, iPhone or Windows Mobile, you need your NT IAccount credentials as you communicate directly throw your phone to the Exchange server, like this:
Device <-> Exchange
So, probably what you need is:
-Name of the server (sometimes is the OWA(Outlook Web Access) address)
-Credentials (Sometimes is needed to have in your NT Account credentials for that, in the company I'm, we call it Active Sync Access).
-Username, Network login (NT ID)
-Domain
-Password
And... yeahhh this is general!!!

Interesting.. so I believe I have everything outside the credentials part. If I have my old blackberry and my work laptop, can I obtain all the information to set up the MyTouch? If so, do you know how?
Thanks a bunch!

Ryan, what I tried to explain to you is that the BES (Blackberry Enterprise Server) account, you can only use to your Blackberry. Any of the information there, except the e-mail address you'll use to configure your exchange account in an Android phone.
There's also other issue, not all exchange accounts will be working with the normal exchange e-mail feature on the Android, the to the security policies of some companies.
I can help you configure that, no prob man.. This is the list of things that you need to ask your IT department on your company:
- Username
- Password (will be the same as your e-mail)
- Domain
- Server address (in some cases are the same as the webmail address (OWA - Outlook Web Access).
P.S.: Ask them if this access force security features on your phone. If it does, Android phones haven't passwords to unlock and won't match the requirements for having this feature on your phone. You'll need to download a program for that (I don't remember what was that, but in the general section, you'll find as other person indicated me).
And you'll be set...
My best regards,
R

you need to also make sure that on your exchange account, they have Microsoft Activesync enabled on your account in order to allow mobile devices other than blackberry's can access corporate emails. you need to ask your admin on this part.

mail proxy for android?

Hello,
Please recommend me the app.
I'm looking for mail application which can receive mails from one account (corporate exchange in my case) and automatically sends (forward) this to another mail account (gmail).
probably you know another ways to do this? I'm asking about this app on android platform because my cell tariff plan is 3g unlimited, but I haven't host *nix or win at home or office to perform this forwarding.
the best way would be the check an email from exchange server from gmail account like imap and pop3, but unfortunatelly, default gmail account has support for these ones only(pop3/imap)
