Hi,
Anyone know how I get SMS ( or email ) messages from MS outlook when a meeting is due.
There must be MS Outlook plugins that can do this type of cool stuff
Please advise
My idea..have my home business PC on all the time so when a meeting arrives I get an SMS/email (prefer SMS) reminder to my phone.
I dont want the calendar and meeting on the phone with all that sync hassle !!
sms is a features that normaly require 2 cellphone devices sending the msg from 1 to the other
outlook normaly dont have access to a gsm network
there are some free internet services
so it would be possible to write a plugin from scratch which would use one of those services to send a sms to the phone when outlook got a appointment notification
problem 1 is being that there are many services out there
some which prob charge for it
it may be diff to write a general plugin which is prob why there are non now
that is if there really are non
other thing is sms even between 2 network can be delay'd for up to 24hours depending on the agreements between the networks
and where in teh world one is
free internet to sms services too
also outlook have to be running to react to appointments in the first place
if it's not it dont autostart it's by no mean an exchange server in itself
and when it's then started it react to all notifications overdue
so after a hollyday one would be bomb'd by sms's for meetings while one was away
dont really see a market for that many people who need this because they dont like to sync calander

Is there any software or does anybody know how to setup Pocket Outlook so that only specific messages notify me on my 8125 say between 11:00pm and 6:00 am"
Thanks
What are you using
Depends how you are getting your mail. If its from Exchange 2003 SP2 push email you can set up the server to only recieve between certain times - activesync, menu on the ppc. If you are using POP then you can turn off checking for messages (menu, options, etc) but you would have to do that on a daily basis
I am using Activesync Exchange Push, but I need to get alert messages from one specific email address during the night. All other email I want blocked from say 11 pm - 6 am.
Any ideas?
Thanks
There was mail application (I think it's ProfiMail) that had Rules, maybe you could setup something based on From: field....
Try WebIS FlexMail, it might have a functionality like this.
Hi,
I've had a quick search and I can't find anything related to this problem of mine so here goes:
What's the deal with Windows Live and Outlook synchronisation? This seems to be a useless implementation and it's completely ruined the phone for me.
One of the reasons I have a Windows Mobile phone is so that I can manage all my contacts in Outlook 2007 at home and sync them with Outlook 2003 at work.
I keep my msn contacts seperate from these contacts, as I don't have MSN at work and I have lots of contacts on msn whose phone numbers I don't have.
Suddenly with this new version of Windows Live I have a choice of either not using messenger and keeping my contacts clean, or signing in and having it copy all my msn contacts into pocket Outlook so they appear when I load contacts on my phone.
It seems to be duplicating all my contact information (I had some contacts in MSN as I use hotmail at home) and there's no way to merge them. If I delete the contact with the msn logo, it disappears from messenger with no way to get it back (on the phone). If I delete the other one, it removes it from outlook.
Does anyone know of a way to merge the live contacts with outlook properly (i.e. not just by ticking that box in the options)?
The only way to get my contacts back to normal after Windows Live messes them up is to switch user in Windows Live and restore my contacts from my SPB Backup.
This is really frustrating me and I am shocked that Microsoft are still releasing such poor products to market
Mit
If you delete the msn contact and than get on the outlook contact, press menu press, "To Windows Live" and than take option "both", and use the email thats of you're contact msn account. now it will be merged.
Hope this helps
You guys where so good at helping me before I was hoping you could try again!
I have been searching for the way to fix this and the best I seem to be able to come up with on here is the Moblie2web site but this doesnt do what my wife wants (or atleast for free!)
My wife had a Curve on this I would send her my calendar and updates as I fly around this vast country of ours. She would update me on when she and the kids would be home or not. Our calendars always in syn both on the laptops and the devices (me through a blackberry server from work, her by syncing to the device and just having the calendar on the device send attendees notifications) now the atendees notifications on her Fuze go into the outlook outbox and since she does email in real time not by syncing the device the invitation sits in the outbox. Is there a way to make this invitation be sent out in the mail as it was on the Curve?
Shareo
Maybe Shareo would work for you, I use it with my wife cause she doesnt sync to often but atleast it in her outlook. The company has multiple software types and for the price its not bad at all

I do not think this will help as she wants to send me the invite right away off her mobile and this will still go into her outlook outbox rather then the mail outbox on her mobile device (the one thats sends out her email from the device.) Is there a away to just my the invites go to the correct outbox?
I hope I am reading this right.
You want to send attendees notifications via the TP? The best way I think of is to set a pop email account on TP, then in Calendar options set send notifications via that pop account.
You could try blackberry connect software and use your blackberry option if you have not cancelled you blackberry data plan yet?
I did cancel and went to the 50 data plan
I dont know what TP is ;(
See I set up her email account from our ISP
email works fine
on BB she was able to open caalendar and invite me
the invite would be auto mail through ISP email setup on bb
now the invite goes into the "Outlook Outbox" found by going to the ISP inbox then going down to the Outlook section... It sounds confusing even to me!
Urg...this is harder than it should be. Can anyone in the same situation offer any advice?
Situation is this...
* HTC Touch Pro
* Google Apps Mail/Calendar/Tasks
* Lotus Notes w/Notes Traveler
* Other sync apps like Spb Wallet
* Windows XP
I initially had my phone syncing with ActiveSync to my laptop as a backup (contacts etc going to Outlook) and so I could sync things like my password data using Spb Wallet
Coming from Palm devices, I wasn't quite prepared for how crap ActiveSync (or Outlook) actually was. I then changed my mail to sync with Google (using IMAP) and then Contacts and Calendar syncing with Google via their fake Outlook sync setup, and that works pretty well.
Note: Now Google have push email, but I haven't tried it, and my Spb Wallet on my phone and PC are now out of sync
Today I tried Notes Traveler, which syncs my work info over-the-air, kind of like a Blackberry.
This works (I guess) but Lotus' idea of "Sync" seems to be "Nuke everything on your device and overwrite it with your Notes data"
...yep, I did back everything up...
Issues/Questions:
1) Is there any way to get rid of the default "Outlook" mail account in TouchPro 3d? Strangely I did a backup and restore when my phone went in for repair, and now it is called my domain name and has some old mail in it, but it's still not deletable
2) Notes Traveler creates a second (third!) mail account, so my work email is separate (which is great) but it nuked my calendar. Then it nuked my Google calendar, and uploaded all my work appointments to it! To make matters worse, even though mail is separate, meeting invites and responses now get sent back to my personal Google mailbox (since there is only one calendar I guess)
3) Since I'm busy/lazy at work, my work email has 554 unread messages (from the last 30 days), and it fills up at a rate of a couple of hundred a day. This means that the notification circle thingo on the front of the phone is in a permanent state of flashyness. Is there any way I can disable that for mail, and just have it alert me for SMSs etc?
4) Has anyone come up with a good solution for two different types of mail? The only option I can really think of is turning off the Google sync (maybe except for Contacts) and using the web apps...but that seems clunky and no TouchFlow 3D integration. There isn't a native WM6 app for the Google suite is there? Or for Notes? Also the screenshots on the Google help web pages seem much more usable than the screens I actually get (there are tabs across the top to switch between mail, cal etc.)
5) I really use the multi calendar feature of Google a lot, is there any way you can sync more than one calendar to the device?
6) Does anyone know if Android manages this scenario better? I'm almost ready to switch (except that no Notes Traveler for Android)
Thanks in advance for any pointers on any of the items above.
Zilch.
To delete the account you go into Activesync on the phone, then go to Menu...Options...now click and hold on the exchange server to delete it.
You can go to Settings, sounds Notifications to turn off the flashing notification. Otherwise you may need fuze tweak or advanced config.
I'm looking for a free pushmail service for my HD2. Somebody can help me? I have tried some but they can not work correctly with WM 6.5.
Gmail works fine for me. Besides the actual GM account, I also duplicate some other GM accounts to it & it checks / collects mail from still further other non GM accounts.
ive also been looking for one for ages. My symbian friends are quite quick to put down my htc hd 2 because it doesnt have free pushmail service. XDA-developers have solved 99.9% of my probs. I hope it goes up by 0.1%
Thanks in advance. I love this website!

I see that you are on Tmobile UK. Do you use the standard web'n'walk for this push service?
I've never got proper push from Google to work with Gmail.
I use Gmail to forward to my Hotmail account, which is then picked up on Windows Live.
Works great!
just use google sync to push gmail
Gmail works great on my HD2, you just have to correctly set the account in Active Sync :
Server : m.google.fr
Mail : [email protected]
Pass: Your password (And check the box to store it)
Domain : Left blank
Then you can choose to synchronize Contacts, Calendar and mail but be sure not to check task (Otherwise you will get an error while syncing).
Then in Active Sync you have to set when the phone will check for new items, you have to say "when new items arrive" and check the box to allow while on Edge and 3G.
Normally every thing should work great.
I get mail quite quickly and my calendar and contacts are always up to date on the phone, the computer and the web!
the prob is i dont use gmail. i use hotmail and my work email is being hosted by mail2world.net so i need those to work. Im sure there is a free pushmail server for winmo i just havent found it yet.
Try www.momail.com . It works great for me

I am on T-mobile UK, I do have standard WnW.
Push Gmail works fine on my HD2 both T-mobile 1.43 & HTC 1.66 (as it did on my old TytnII).
I simply followed these instructions to access my email
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138636&topic=14299
Actually my ISP is Sky who email service uses re branded Google mail. I have my own domains for email. Because they insist on tagging my outgoing mail address/domain with their moniker, hardly professional, I use a 3rd party SMTP server (from the Skyusermail forum) for outgoing mail. All set up from within the HD2 messaging utility & transparent in use with no additional input.
I only sync my mail to Google. For privacy, Contacts, Calendar, Favourites & OneNote I sync to my Vista32 computer via USB (upgrading to Bluetooth in a couple of days). I found, when INITIALLY setting up the PHONE syncs, I have to add them ONE TYPE AT A TIME in sequential syncs, or it fails After the initial set up, it behaves correctly syncing all automatically together.
As far as what that Pushed Gmail account reports, I went into its web control panel and got it to collect incoming mail from MANY other accounts. I now have a PUSH one stop shop, when mobile, for about a dozen entirely separate email accounts!
I no longer need an office to run my business affairs. I can run everything from my mobile. Huge overhead saving and much more leisure time. My business now interrupts my leisure pursuits instead of vice versa.... Worthwhile trade off for me.
I also have a few other email accounts being checked every few hours. Also my HD2 is hooked up to Windows live / Hotmail. (Need to reinstall Skype.)
