admittedly, i'm a newbie. i'm running WM5 with the updated O2 ROM on an XDA Exec. I have Microsoft Push enabled. I use my own laptop for work and prefer to download my corporate mail to my own PST. When I receive new mail, it pushes to my device however when Outlook on my laptop downloads it and thus removes it from the Exchange server MS Push tells my device to delete it as well. Is there anything I can do on my side, within Outlook, or request of my mail admin to correct this?
Many thanks!
I apologise if this is a FAQ - I've searched but only found a single reference to a similar problem. It was in the Trinity forum here and the fix listed didn't help me.
I recently upgraded my Hermes to WM6 with Windows Live version 10.6.0028.1100. I have the synchronize options set to sync email and contacts, merging duplicate contacts.
When I synchronized with Windows Live, it downloaded the email and put the contacts on the phone, but the Live contacts won't synchronize over to Outlook. I would like them to, if possible (unlike most people it seems, from the search results I got) - they did in the previous version of Windows Live that I was using with WM5.
I also tried creating a "Windows Live" contact on the phone itself, and that did not synchronize with Outlook either. Regular contacts do.
Is this a known issue? If anyone is better with the search than I am, I'd be grateful for any assistance.
Edit: I just deleted the Activesync pairing and re-paired, then resynchronized with Windows Live. It deleted all but 5 of my contacts from my Messenger list (the 5 that were new since I updated to the new version of Messenger and that weren't in Outlook) - OUCH!
I just downgraded to 10.6.0026.1400, which I heard could be more stable.
I still have the same issues though - many Live contacts in my phone not synchronising to Outlook on the desktop.
Any ideas?
Have you considered trying Microsoft Outlook Connector on your desktop? This will allow outlook to sync directly with windows live. I have been also looking into ways to sync outlook connector on my desktop with an exchange server so i have true direct-push e-mail along with contact and calendar syncing from windows live. If this appeals to you, let me know and we can start a thread for that!
Best,

Interesting, thanks for the information, I wasn't aware of Outlook Connector. I might give the latest beta a go if there's no longer a way to synchronise them directly from the phone.
So is the issue with Live contacts not automatically synchronising to Outlook on the desktop expected, then? If so, it must have changed from the earlier pre-WM6 betas.
to the best of my knowledge u need a paid hotmail account for outlook connector
You don't need a paid account for mail and contacts, only for the rest (such as calendar).
Although Outlook (at least 2002 and 2007) lets you synchronize live mail anyway, so that's not much of a bonus.
i am so used to blackberries and now i'm with treo and 750 with cingular, just doesn't get the mail good enough - the best way i found is to just go through internet explorer's gmail.com
let me know of any good aftermarket email software
thanks,
mike

I have an AT&T Fuze and I have been looking any and everywhere for an APP that allows the contacts to create a email group distribution list. They have the groupSMS app to create groups for text messaging but no luck finding one free or purchased for an group email distribution list which I really need. Does anyone know if this is possible or if any app exists like that and if so where?
Does anyone know of any (preferably free) software that can allow the use of email distribution lists with the phone's contacts? At work I often have need to send email to groups of people and it would be helpful if I could do it directly from my phone instead of having to find somewhere to plug in my laptop and use Outlook.
