Hi,
I have hundreds of contacts on my WM5 BA PDA, but something broke in Activesync and now I can't sync to outlook. I have lost my outlook profile.
I know I can create a new profile, but I think this will delete data on the PDA?
Is there a way to set up a new profile / connection to Outlook without losing the contacts on my PDA?
PS loss of calendar / other is not a problem, just contacts - no backup!
Thanks
[Edit]: Also: I have no backup utilty on the PDA like I did with WM2003.
in activesync there are settings for what activesync should do when outlook and the pda dont agree if all those are set to make my pc as my pda
then a new profile will never be able to delete your pda stuff

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.

Hi
I know that my question is basic but I want to be sure how to precede with a s710 WM6, Windows XP and Outlook 2003.
How to transfert my phone ontacts towards my PC without receiving all my contacs contaned in Outlook. In another hand, it is possible after sending from the phone over outlook (edited) resending them in my phone like selecting wich one I want to?
In one word, I want to transfert my contacts from the phone over my PC, edit them, and synch them back without touching my contacts base in Outlook.
Best regards
You could copy your original outlook contacts to a new folder in outlook. Then use the original folder for syncing with your phone - which could contain only the subset you wanted on you phone. You would have to manually update/copy between the new folder and the original however.
I'm pretty new to ppc's, so this may be a dumb question....
Recently the Outlook server at my office crashed and the guys at work had to format the whole thing. Now the Outlook on my desktop is basically empty, and I thought I could just sync my ppc and get all the contacts and calendar entries etc back to the desktop.
But when I tried, it says "there's been a change made on your server that requires you to re-synchronize all items on your device. You may lose changes made since your last successful synchronization. Support code: 8600050d"
If I click "Yes" to continue, it'll wipe everything from my ppc. I've already selected the option for "If there's a conflict: Replace item on desktop".
What can i do?
I'm using HTC Touch Dual, and running Windows XP....Thanks....
I've seen this error when there is a time difference between the PPC and Outlook, as a result of traveling. In your case, is probably due to the server crash. You can try deleting the AtiveSync partnership and then create a new one. AS will ask you to select which info to keep, i.e. Outlook -> PPC, Combine PPC and Outlook or PPC -> Outlook. Just select the PPC overwrites Outlook at that point. HOWEVER, I don't know how will it handle PPC emails in subfolders (that is, will it create the subfolder structure in Outlook?). So, just to be save, do a PIM backup on the PPC before you try anything. Good luck.
PS,
Also, your IT guys should have a kept a backup!!! Or at least, setup your Outlook to use a PST file on your computer to store the information.
Thank you very much, it worked after I deleted the ActiveSync partnerships.
All my appointments are on my PPC (HTC P3650). Outlook on my PC is empty.
When I try to synchronize both (through ActiveSync), all appointmants on my PPC (!) will be deleted.
How to bring this appointments from PPC to my PC???????
Thanks for your answer!
Maybe you should delete the partnership on your PC and then reconnect. A new partnership will be made and there you can define the data to be synchronized. Normally it should ask how to synchronize and you should get the option to overwrite the data on your PC.
I wanted to know if there is a way around or trick to prevent duplicating contacts/appointments/tasks everytime I flash my vogue
and connect/sync to MyPhone and then sync with Outlook?
Sorry if this was asked elsewhere...could find it!
Thanks in advance.

I found a simple solution... Flash your device. Sync with MyPhone. Delete Outlook personal folders file and create a new, empty one (easy way to just delete everything from Outlook). Then set up sync between device and Outlook, voila - all your data goes first from MyPhone to device, then from device to Outlook.

Create new Contacts folder
The syncronization between WinMo with Outlook via Activesync regarding the contacts is done using the default Outlook contacts folder. So, what I use to do is to create another contacts folder and move there as many contacts as I want not meant to be sync'd. This way, I achive what I want, and keep intact all the remaining contacts, which you can move back and forth as you please, any time.
However, my understanding of "syncronization" is not all these tricks (I know that sometimes there is no other way) but a single utility that syncs, echoes, replicates or whatsoever. From this point of view, I would like to reiterate the original question: Is there "something" to sync My Phone with Outlook?
Thanks.
FWIW i have the same issue with my Xperia connected toOutlook and a mail2web Exchange account. The only commonality is my Xperia in the middle and the only working solution has been to clear out the Outlook Calendar and Contacts before resynching, after allowing time for the OTA Exchange to finish.
