Does anybody know how to delete all Contacts & Calendar items on a Windows Mobile 2005 PDA so that I can re-sync from Outlook on a PC?

Does exist a program that synchronizes all the SMS messages from/to Pocket PC (Windows Mobile 5.0) folders (Deleted Items, Drafts, Inbox, Outbok, Sent Items) to/from Outlook 2003 folders on PC?
I know "Jeyo Mobile Companion" but it's too buggy...
Many persons have problems with setting up the new Messenger, maybe I have some tips for you.
1) !!! Don't install WLM Mobile yet or remove it as quick as possible !!!!
2) First backup the WLM contactlist on your PC
(saving instant messaging contacts, creating a .ctt file)
3) Close Outlook if it's open and search for the PST file.
Copy that file at a save place. It's better to change the default location in the Application data of your profile anyway.
4) Open Outlook and WLM on your PC.
For all the contacts which you have in both programs, copy the e-mail adress from the WLM to the IM-adress field in the contact card of Outlook. For the contacts which are in WLM but not yet in Outlook, these will be created automaticly after syncing.
5) Did a lot of work in Outlook? -> Make another copy of your PST.
6) Sync all the contacts from Outlook to your phone by ActiveSync / WMDC.
7) Now install WLM Mobile
8) Reboot
9) Login Windows Live
10) I like the Windows Live Applications, but not the search. I sync the contacts but I don't sync the mail (cause I don't have Hotmail).
11) If you open the Contacts now on your phone, you'll see a VCard icoon for regular contacts and a Messenger icon for IM contacts. For the IM contacts you see if they are online or not (even you can see if you've blocked someone).
12) In Outlook you'll have to do some work to correct the created WLM contacts (give them a Full Name for example)
Syncing is slightly different when you sync with a PC, Exchange server and a mobile.
The most easy way is to make sure all changes are in Exchange server. So first sync everything and then flash the mobile. Clean all the contacts and appointments in Outlook (mostly home). Sync the mobile with Exchange server, then add the Outlook. For the rest is it the same.
If you don't clean your Outlook (contacts + appointments), it's possible you'll have everything twice. Tested it here (Netherlands) with a HTC P3600 (LVSW or mUn ROM), WMDC (Vista) and Outlook 2007.
Questions? PM me.
Is there a possibility to delete the "outlook" Account on my WM6 Herald ?
I have a Windows Live Account, one from Arcor Germany and the usual SMS/MMS Account - But Outlook is not required because i never sync with Outlook (Macuser).
Do you have any Ideas ?
Thanks a lot
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
I am new to the forum so forgive me if this is common knowledge. Does Windows Mobile 6.5 allow you to syncronize multipled Exchange contact folders? In Windows Mobile 6.1 you can only syncronize your main Outlook contact folder. I need to be able to syncronize "sub" contact folders as well.
Thank you.
