Birthday - Help! - General Topics

Hello!
I need some help! I have a PDA that has installed WM5.0, PIM Pocket informant 2005, SPB Pocket Plus and SPB Diary!
I sync to the PC with Microsoft Outook 2003 (Active Sync 4.1).
The thing is, when I want to had a birthday to a contact, that is easy and it appears on today plugin of SPB Diary!
The problem is when I don't have a contact (like my 9 month's child, for instance). How do I solve it?
I know vbirthday, but that won't integrate with SPB Diary and Today plugin and Pocket Informant database. It will appear another plugin in today!
I thought about adding a contact with only birthday, but it seams dumb!
How will I solve the problem???

Hello, try making a calendar appointment in the PPC calendar, say Birthday of (whoever). I tried this once on my Universal, worked. If it doesn't, try to set the repeating to 1 year. Then sync it. Good luck

If you only want to sync your desktop, take a look at, say, IntelliSync or, to a lesser degree, mNotes.
If with an Exchange server, you can do it too.
But is there any way to use for instance thunderbird?
FinchSync allows you to syncronize Pocket Outlook with Thunderbird. It is said to syncronize contacts, appointments and tasks between Windows Mobile and Thunderbird/Sunbird.
I haven't tested it yet.

Forgot to mention:
http://synchingthunder.sourceforge.net/
It allows one to synchronize Thunderbird installation between different computers. Not exactly what you are looking for, but it may have its uses.
(I failed to get it to work on my system though)

Thank you.
Hi there!
First, thank you all for all your kick awnsers!!
I found another program, payware, that lets you sync pocket pc and thunderbird. its called birdie sync http://www.birdiesync.com/home.html shame it doesnt let you, for now they say, sync email...
talking about e-mail... this is exactly what i cant find!! some sort of way to sync pocket pc and thunderbird email.....any ideas?
Another idiea would be putting thunderbird to sych with an outlook.pst file and the user regular active sync...
All the best,
Joao Oliveira.
.
I'm not sure if there already are applications that synchronize the emails (haven't came across any), but it will probabely come...
I also haven't found software to synchronize an Outlook (on the PC) with a ThunderBird.

I would love to sync my contacts and appointments with GMail, is there anyway possible. I found Goosync for appointments, but nothing for the contacts file (which is what i REALLY want).
Any ideas?
Birdiesync.
Hello All!
Looks like birdiesync is now supporting e-mail sync.
So you can now actually sync windows mobile 5 with Thunderbird. It supports besides mail, calendar (using sunbird/lightning beta) calendar and tasks.
I'm still testing it.. they have a fully functional trial version that works for 30 days. if you like it you can buy it for 24,95dolars.
all the best,
Joao.

PIM Software that doesnt share "Office mobile" database

Hello all,
I'm looking for a PIM Software (mainly calendar, contacts) under WM6 that runs completely separate from the integrated office mobile. So it should have sort of an own entry in activesync to tell what exactly to sync to that software independently.
I allready had a look to Agenda One and Pocket Informant, but all of these share the exisiting databases of WM's internal office mobile.
When looking at sync tools from chapura or intellisync, they offer advance sync possibilites, but dont support other applications on the ppc than office mobile !?
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance,
Joe
Maybe look into old software of wm2003 era. im sure theres some primitive simple solution.
What about 4.0 student or the dog ate it... i know they are student planners but maybe just maybe independent.

Have you considered tying google calendar into pocket outlook via oggsync and for contacts I do all my adds/removes via the dashwire app from a pc.

Windows Mobile 2003 SE - contacts birthday in calendar?

Hello everybody and a Happy New Year,
I would like to know if it's possible to automatically transfer (take over) the birthday dates of my contacts in the calendar as recurring events (reminders), to be able to display them on the "Today" screen. I would like to do this without additional software, if it's possible. I have the english version of Windows 2003 SE on my Dell Axim X30i PDA (firmware A05).
Thank you very much in advance for each advice!
Conrad-007
I know there is a program todo it, i'll have to find it tonight.... The main problem would be that i don't know if it supports wm 2003.....
Thank you for your reply. So you mean is not possible without an additional software? So in WM2003 the contacts birthday datas will not be automatically transfered in Calender as reccuring events?
There is a program called "darkannifalert" That says it will add alerts for contacts birthdays (i have never tried it but i imagine it does what it says ) No wm does not natively support adding birthdays to your calender. You can give the program a shot but it probably was made for wm5 and later (you're 3 versions of wm behind, so it will be a little harder to find 3rd party apps )
As far as I know, when you sync your PPC with Outlook, Outlook will create the Birthdays in Calendar and sync them back to your phone
"As far as I know, when you sync your PPC with Outlook, Outlook will create the Birthdays in Calendar and sync them back to your phone"
but...when I go to phone's calender ..view by month ...that day would not be highlighted ..but when i click into taht day ..the word who birthday appeal ..is normal to wm?
