I have a strange problem with my Prophet and Outlook 2003:
whenever my Prophet ist connected (USB) with my Desktop PC ActiveSync blocks some Outlook buttons: I can't reply to emails, can't forward them or even write new mails. It's not possible to change anything in the calendar or in the contacts. As soon as I pull out my USB-cable and restart Outlook again everything works fine until I reconnect it.
Furthermore Activesync only transfers changes from the desktop to the Prophet, not the other way round. Reinstalling Outlook and Activesync didn't change anything. I already installed Activesync 4.5 beta, but it still remains the same.
The Problem didn't occur right form the first Installation. After a few weeks it just was there.
Did anybody here already have the same problem and know a solution?
Thanks a lot

PS: I already tried the search, but I couldn't find anything useful for my problem.
Really nobody else with the same problem?
That makes me feel like I'm really special.

Does anyone else have a problem with the Treo auto-connecting to the net? I have no other third party programs installed. Is there a fix?
you might want to check Inbox and Activesync.
Yes, I have already checked both the Inbox and Activesync. This happens even when I don't set up my email nor my exchange push. The Treo will just function regularly, and then all of the sudden, it continually tries to connect to the net. Even after a soft reset, it will boot up trying to get an internet connection.
how about the fake server trick for AS?
I think I've isolated this to either the beta installation of Windows Live or Pocket MSN
they just released the final version of Live a couple days back:

good luck and FIGHT ON!
It could very well be Windows Live Messenger trying to sync your email/contacts. Check the sync settings in WLM.
Did you manage to find the problem?
I have similar problem that each time a do a syhc to my pc, somehow my email will auto sync wirelessly (3G) even though I have not set it to sync
Can someone please help me out. I'm using rDosti V11. Fantastic ROM, love it. However, one thing I can't work around is that whenever I'm syncing all my email with Outlook, it will suddenly stop somewhere whilst syncing the attachments. Connected through USB. Given, I'm syncing almost 150 email in full HTML with attachments (some of them) to SD Card, I can't understand why this is happening. And it syncs slow also. I re-installed ActiveSync, but that didn't help. Didn't have this issue on Tomal's ROM or the Original i-mate ROM. That's all I've tested.
No problems when syncing to my JAM (Magician) running WM2003 SE. The worst thing is, I have to restart my mobile to resync, coz it still thinks it's connected to PC. Even when I tap disconnect from the tray, it just doesn't know what to do. So I soft reset, re-sync and sometimes it tells me, "there's been a change in the database, do you want to resync all your items." Then I've got to tap YES to continue, and back at square one. Sucks. I don't want my Uni to be useless.
I've also tried reducing the amount of email to sync. No luck.
Please advise.
Hello! I had sUC running on my fresh installed ROM, and now I'm facing never-seen-before issues. I mean, I cannot connect my PPC in activesync (the computer simply doesn't recognize the phone) while I can do that in USB Storage mode. Moreover, I can't open the Activesync program anymore on my PPC (it tries to open up but it immediately shuts down) and I can't even synch contacts, sms's and appointments via Microsoft MyPhone, as this is reporting an Exchange Server connection as active, though I never set it! Was it maybe some of sUC regentries? How can I undo that? I'm on a WM6.5 Italian ROM for Diamond, and I'd really like to have my contacts back!

sounds like a bad flash i have never seen or heard of this.
i am on my 22nd wm6.5 flash and never that problem.
simple just reflash or hard reset
I'm running WM 6.5 on my Blackstone, and about half the time when I plug the phone into the computer I lose all my data that is synced with Outlook. If I go into WMDC, the white check mark boxes next to "Contacts, Calendar, Email, Tasks, Notes, and Mobile Favorites" are unchecked, and it will not allow me to check them. Then, when I look at my phone the information is all gone. When this happens I have gone into Outlook and created a new .PST, and it resyncs with no problems.
This happens when WMDC is already open when I plug in the phone, and when it isn't. It seems random.
I hope this makes sense! Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Wendy
Have you tried to completely reinstall WMDC on your computer and delete partnership with Blackstone?
ActiveSync - intermittent problem with "retrieving settings"
I have this problem now on my Touch Pro. I have also had it on my Kaiser. This is an intermittent problem where - occasionally and unpredictably - when I connect my phone to my pc, I get an error when the pc attempts to "retrieve settings" from my pocket pc. It fails to do so, and then only allows me to access files on the PPC, no syncing possible after I go through a setup screen.
The fix for this is simple but time consuming: On the PPC I do menu -> options and then delete the device (pairing) there. On the PC, I remove Activesync and reinstall it. When both of these are completed, I reconnect everything up, go through the setup screens and all is well. Until it happend again.
I am using AS 4.5 on a PC with XP. My PPC uses 6.1 (The Kaiser was 6.0). I will also add that I have LOTS to sync in outlook:
400 contacts
7000 Agenda entries
100 Todos
20 notes
I have - actually over the last 2 years! - searched for a solution, I have searched these pages, googled, etc, etc. I see lots of people have more permanent problems with activesync connectivity, but my problem is different: I could be fine for about a month and then have a problem for no apparent reason.
Can anyone help? Does anyone know what happens when the activesync program on the pc says "retrieving settings"? Is it looking in the PPC registry or at a file used for activesyncing (e.g \pim.vol - mine is over 19MB)?
I am happy to go poking around in either devices registry, and will look at all suggestions.
I would
uninstall activesync
and go to regedit and remove everything related to activesync
reinstall it sync everything
hardreset the pda
and sync it again so it get all data from outlook that would
fix the pim being that big

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, in the past I have also manually deleted the pim file - without sucess.
I would guess the problem is down to the volume of data I'm syncing and that something is just getting confused occasionally. If this is the pim file then the only solution is my own rather brutal one. But maybe its just a control file or registry setting gone bad - any ideas?
I have effectively done a hard reset with my move to a touch pro and, in any case, don't want to spend days reinstalling everything !
Oh, and some final thoughts:
o This happened more often on the Kaiser - possibly due to its much slower USB speeds?
o Every time it happens I loose all my speed dials in my phone- aaarrrggghh!
Anyone have "insider knowledge" of what's going on?
