Quick question... I have some contacts who have multiple MSN accounts,
is it possible to add multiple mail-addresses into Outlooks IM-field with a
separator?
If so, what separator?
I would hate to have to create multiple contact entries for each IM-account when it's the same user... now that it works very well with the IM-field...
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I searched the fora, found only very old threads but no answers.
When I sync my Hermes, I would like it to only sync the business items at work and not my private appointments.
I can mark my appointments as "private" in my outlook mobile, but they still appear on my work desktop.
does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
How about using categories? Just create a category "SYNC" and add this to all your business contacts. Obviously you'll have to adjust your ActiveSync settings accordingly.
I don't think it's possible to control exactly what syncs across. AS far as I know it's really an all or nothing.
/anyone get the pun?
silly question there is no answer and no real question
So you want to sort your contacts in two categories? There are categories in contacts.
If you want to launch different contacts list (Work, friends...) via Programs, then I can't help you.
Hey, there appear to be a number of problems with birthdays in Outlook and Pocket PC, which i think i may have found a solution for. There are numerous threads throughout xda looking for solutions so i thought i would put this here, if thats ok, to try and create a major thread with solutions. Please move/delete etc if this is an issue. Firstly ill outline the issues as i see them:
Editing or creating a contact on a WM device and adding their birthday results in no event being added to the calendar. For an event/appointment to be created you need to add the users birthday to a contact in Outlook on a Desktop. (This appears to be on 2003, i havent tested 2007 - someone confirm?)
Syncing contacts through exchange results in the same as above.
There is no way to change the default reminder a new birthday is added for a contact.
I found an app called CustomBirthdays which is a plugin for Outlook on the desktop, which allows you to fully customise the automatic appointments that are made for birthdays when a contact is edited. It can search your contacts and generates the autoevent if you have just synced your contacts from your WM to a new Desktop outlook or exchange session. It also lets you set what the default reminder is for all birthdays etc.
I DO NO HAVE ANY AFFILIATION WITH THIS COMPANY/SOFTWARE. Its just this has been a massive pain in the A** for me in the past, and due to the number of other requests i thought i would share. There is a 30 day trial which lets you do everything. Heres the link:
http://www.outlook-stuff.com/lang-en/products/calendar/231-custombirthdays.html
The reason i want this instead of today plugins for my WM, is because this way it generates an appointment in the WM calendar, and is not a seperate app searching through your contacts to display on today. I also use TF3D, which only shows appointments and not today plugins.
I hope this is useful to some people
Please post any freeware or other solutions you may have.
Hello together,
I have searched the whole forum but I didn't found something like that. I wonder because I think this is a good thing.
I have three email accounts for my PDA which I have to setup after each new ROM flash. I'm searching for how to make a cab file which make all setups like name, password, incomming and outgoing emailserver and so on for these three email accounts.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings Pudl
:O that would be nice!
setup up multiple emails and activesync would be awesome!
OK, apologies but there's no hand holding here as i can't remember exactly where it resides on this forum.
Do a search in the Dev and Hack section for SDAutorun and User Customisation as i seem to recall there being a discussion there for the creation of xml, and thus cabs, to create email accounts from a hard reset.
I have to say i have never tried any of it as i was provided with a CAB file for my Exchange configuration and other POP/IMAP email is handled by a third party app which can't be configured this way.
Guys,
I'm setting up my wife's new phone.
I don't seem to be able to add birthday, anniversary dates, etc to a contact unless I link all the contacts to Google; something I don't want to do.
Any ideas how to get round this?
TIA
Hi, this may or may not help! My method. My wife and I share the same contacts/calendar list. So I created a dummy gmail account. On our phones, tablets we only allow that dummy email address to sync its contacts and calendar. Vice versa, on our real gmail and Outlook accounts the contact and calendar sync is disabled. This works quite well. If that's not you want try searching for CardDav. This is what my Blackberry is using, it works perfect. You should find a number of Android app's and corresponding CardDav servers. Hope this helps.
But you mention birthdays, anniversaries etc, wouldn't it be more advantageous to put these items in a calendar, setup to give timely reminders of upcoming events?
From Wikipedia quote" CardDAV*(short for*Card Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is an*address book*client/server protocol designed to allow users to access and share contact data on a server. "Unquote.

Hi Graham,
Thanks for the reply, mate. I think just turning off the sync is probably the way to go, and that's what I've done.
I'm grateful for your input.
