I found this amazing application
The following text is taken from it's web site.
http://www.melsam.com/outsync/default.aspx
OutSync is a free Windows application that syncs photos of your Facebook friends with matching contacts in Microsoft Outlook. It allows you to select which contacts are updated. So you can update all contacts at once or just a few at a time.
The main benefit of OutSync is for Windows Mobile users. Updated contacts are automatically synced with Windows Mobile devices by Exchange server or ActiveSync. Thus new and fun photos appear during calls and other places where contacts are used.
OutSync is compatible with Windows XP, Vista and Server 2003. It requires Outlook 2003 or 2007.
Sorry for reviving this post, guys. But Skydrive is being a damn cow at the moment, i can't login nor do a thing on it since three days. Can please someone post a mirror link to that app here, or online at a fileshare site?
[deleted post]
Please.
I am merely asking for a mirror of the file. Why? because I can't download from Skydrive (and the file, outsync.msi is only on skydrive) for a reason unknown. I'm very sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
So if anyone with the file in their computer could please upload that file anywhere else than skydrive, please help me out.
Your message wasn't clear enough.
I attached the file for you
Thanks a lot!
It's good to have people like you around here.
It doesn't work for me.
It closes everytime I try to open it and starts the windows error report.
Any idea?

i have been wondering this too, it drives me crazy
Can anybody help?
come on. some clever person must know the reg tweak for this?
any luck with this?
if i am not mistaken HTML E-Mails is only supported
1. if you have "Push" set up through an exchange server
2. if your exchange server is running Server 2007
hope this helps
good luck
Nope. HTML email is supported with normal pop email. No exchange server required.
that is correct on your desktop, however on your mobile phone i am pretty sure you need WM6.0 & Server 2007 to make HTML e-mial work. theoretically it can work through a POP account but your hosting company needs to run server 2007 & you need to be running WM6.0
good luck

i receive html email on my mobile phone, but the internet pictures do not automatically download...i have to manually do that...
that is the point of this post, the original poster is asking how to view HTML e-mails within the e-mail pane NOT to have to click a link to see them. to do this you need WM 6.0 & Server 2007
i will see if i can get access to an 07 exchance server and see if that works...
you need WM 6.0 also
Guys I am the original poster.
I do not use exchange - just a regular pop account.
When I download email, it downloads in HTML format: eg the email is in pretty colours and full of links etc and some images. However, sometimes a link appears that says "Click here to download images". After you click the link the images appear.
All I want to do is to enable all image downloads by default.
I am assuming it is a simple on/off toggle in the registry.
It is not a simple toggle and it cannot be implemented in WM5. In WM6, however, you can do this.

I am using WM6
HTML email is not part of WM5!
great we are all agreed now it is only WM 6.0, however i still contend your e-mail host/server needs to be running Server 2007. someone correct me if i am wrong?
thanks

No, Exchange is 100% not needed.
I don't use it and my received emails are HTML not plain text. I just need to click the link to download some images.
Not downloading the attachment is the default setting to save your bandwidth.
If you are using Exchange server, then you can change the active sync settings on your phone to download the full message instead of just the first 2kb.
If you are not using Exchange then I think you cannot change that but I don't know for sure since I am only using Exchange 2007.
UM
Just set the phone to download all messages and not just the first few kb. Problem is still there. There is a link that says "Internet Pictures Blocked". If you click it they download.

Unless I am misinterpreting, the original post was asking how to download the pictures automatically.
IMAP from ANY provider (yahoo is GREAT for this, by the way) will allow picture viewing in your wm6 device. But WM6 does NOT display images by default. In addition, there is no way to chose a selection and download pictures embedded in email automatically.
However,
There MUST be a registry setting that will allow just that: download pictures automatically in html wm6 email.
Can someone find it?
There are some softwares out there that do this, but I accidentally came across this slightly manual method that works pretty well.
What you'll need:
Pidgin
Facebook plugin for Pidgin installed
Facebook account
Friends you like with photos as their "face" or account pic
Process:
Create a new account in Pidgin for Facebook.
You will need to wait for your friends to login to Facebook, as that is when their user pic is downloaded to your machine.
Go to ".purple" folder in the Application Data folder for pidgin.
Go to the icons folder. Your friends' pictures will be here
Copy out the pictures you want to keep into a folder to be renamed later.
Rename the pictures to be the contact name saved in Contacts
On the ROM I have (elite RC4), the user pics are automatically associated as I sync down the Contacts to my phone.
one can also if one sync with outlook get them from facebook to outlook with outsync

By mistake I ahd already posted this in the Blackstone subforum, altough it is a general WM6 topic. Sorry - please answer here.
Hey guys,
I am using Touch HD with a stock ROM with the MS facebook application installed. In this I can see all my facebook friends and also their contact data, which they provide on FB (phone numbers i.e.).
Is there any application to auto-import the facebook contacts to WM6 Outlook, at least the ones that are not there already...
It would be so convenient and make my WM6 contacts complete.
Looking forward to any hints
SkyBook does that for you.
Have a look at this...
http://magnifoca.com/products.html
Thank you for your reply. However, to my understanding this application will only pull profile photos but no other contact information...
Pulling photos to my existing contacts is something i can already do with SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.
I am interested in an application which will pull ALL information from FB (including photos, websites, and email) and enhance existing or create new contacts with it.
Yep, I know, and this application does that.
When I've used this before and asked it to sync my contacts, the first one it comes to that is not in my contact list, it asks if I want it to automatically create a contact for me.
I've never done it myself, as I don't want people off facebook in my contact list, but that's what it's for.
Cheers,
John.
skybook is a no go in the HTC snap with 6.5
Tried Skybook (latest, ver.1.4 Build 12281) on my Touch Pro, still cannot login despite following all the instruction. Ideas anyone? Thank you!
After struggling a lot with this application on my Touch HD, I decided to finally remove it. I get the well known and often reported login error.
I wonder:
Is it possible to install it in a vrtual windows mobile device on my PC and import my facebook to that? - THEN export the contacts to a custom location on my PC and import to my real Touch HD?
Ideas how to connect to the internet with the emulated WM6??
Afaik, there are several ways to do it.
Either you use Outlook to sync your contacts on your device, so you use Outsync to sync facebook to outlook, allthough I do not know what it syncs...
Or, you can export your facebook contacts list and add them into Windows Live. And then sync it to your device.
Using HTC Touch Pro I'm having issues too.
Trying to go to skybook.com gives me an error:
msxml3.dll error '80072efd'
A connection with the server could not be established
/includes/adtrack.asp, line 40
Can't login to the program after authorizing the app to pull data from facebook.
apps.facebook.com/snaptoface Doesn't load for me to re-authorize and FB doesn't show I have it as authorized... I'll have to check it out more but seems to me the snap2face/skybook website is having issues.
Hi All,
I know you can link a contact in your phone book to their corresponding Facebook profile and have the phone display the Facebook Profile picture as the Photo for the Contact – this is all well and good, however, when you sync your contacts with Outlook, the contact cards display the original or no photo.
Is it possible to have the up to date Facebook photo assigned to the contact photo permanently?
I know there was some free software which claimed to do this (I forget the name) – but it was very unstable and seemed to freeze/crash a lot, plus it wasn’t automated.
Can you one help? Or mod?
Thankies.
I'd love to know this too - I was wondering if it was possible, but didn't put too much thought into it.

The software was called BookSync and as far as I know only made it to Beta.
Any new versions that work on the HD2 or an equivalent cab?
aaachooo!
Sorry, sneezed.
Oh. Now this post is back at the top....seeing as we're here - can anyone help?
Oh interesting I´m not the only one with this prob.
But my experience is, if facebook change first time the favpic and I change it following with my own pic (on phone) - facebook never replace it.
anybody affirm this?

read the linked' post again. no cab required! tis part of the native program.
cheers.
I see, thanks for your comment.
anyone else able to help with this?
Another good function would be to be able to choose a picture for the contact you have from their facebook album rather than only being able to only have their currently profile picture.
Does anyone know how to do this yet??
spb mobile shell does this... But i've been looking for the equivalent as a free program...
never found...
facebook pics in outlook
I was messing with my outlook and HD2 recently and came across a method that let me save all my facebook pics to outlook from Hd2. Heres what i did....
i synced my phone with my PC and then unpluged it from the computer. i then backed up all my contacts and calender events using PIM back up (im sure you can use any other back up form) save that back up...
after i went to activesync and changed my settings to "Replace item on desktop" when there is a conflict. Deleted all my contacts in outlook and all my calendar events in outlook then synced once again and my phone cleared up as well then i unplugged my phone again and restored using the back up i made and synced all my contacts with thier facebook accounts(before syncing again) once the all had updated pics from facebook i synced with my PC (under the same settings...replace items on desktop) and done.
the contacts were back and calendar events were also back with facebook pics..
maybe some one can try it on thier end and see what happens but worked for me

well this doesn't really "overwrite" the outlook contact pictures with the facebook ones. The reason why it seem to work for you is because when you sync your phone with fb it creates a folder FBContacts under the /windows directory which stores your facebook avatars with the files named according to the fb contacts id. all activesync does is add your fb contacts id in the notes of the outlook contact and when this file exist in the /windows/fbcontacts folder it will display that instead of the pic in outlook. if you check the contact on your PC the pics are still the existing ones and not the fb ones.
so if you want your contacts to show the fb avatar just backup the /windows/fbcontacts folder.
at least this is what i found from my little investigation. if i'm wrong pls correct me.

I see what you saying but the method i wrote above actually saves the FB pics to my PC outlook. so when i write emails on my pc i actually have what the FB pics is on my phone for the contact on my phone

The problem with this is it will update the pictures as a one time update. Every time the fb picture for the contact changes (and is reflected on the HD2) your outlook picture will not be updated

This does work and it is easy as per the native program however when the contact changes their FB pic, it updates again. So basically it keeps the latest change wether that is yourself with the Outlook pic or FB if your mate updates it.
As i have the best pic with Outlook id rather it permanently use that if selected but cant seem to find a way it can do this.
Hi guys,
I might get a WP7 device soon, only thing that still really bugs me is the missing active sync connection that I oved over the years! I know I could use google or hotmail to sync my Outlook with a WP7 device but I refuse to give in on that one. So instead of argueing why I should or should not want that I'm gonna try to find some solutions. I am not afraid of some not-so-easy way if at least we find one.
The following ideas came to my mind:
1) making use of the pim.vol file in my current winMo Phone.
somehow copying/converting it to the WP7 and than using it. afterwards copying it back to WinMo and sync it with my PC. a bit messy, but how about this? Further info could be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072796
2) Host a (free) exchange server.
We all cann't afford MS Exchange for sure. but there's a open source alternative or two: http://oxpedia.org/index.php?title=Main_Page_CE#quickinstall
Even better would be to have it running on the same PC so a server of some kind is not required...
3) sending all contacts via mail to the phone and having a seperate emailadress where all outlook appointments are sent to seperatly as invitations. Not really syncing though...
4) Get someone to programm a solution...
Have I missed something? are there limitations I for some reaseons was no aware of?
Thnaks all!
Use the Outlook Connector with your Windows Live ID; when you add a contact in Outlook, copy & paste it into your Windows Live contacts (which appear right in your Outlook on your PC), and then when Outlook sends & receives, it uploads your changes in your contacts to your Windows Live account. As soon as your phone syncs your Windows Live account, the new contact will show up on your phone. I use this method and it literally takes less than a minute from when I add the contact in Outlook until it shows up on my HTC HD7s.

Did you read the first paragraph of the post?
thanks for your replies! Unfortunately I'm still looking for some kind of solution so if anyone has a hint of some kind... keep 'em commin'
hi,
you can install zarafa ww w dot zarafa dot com (new user -> you have to fix the link). There's a community edition and an outlook connector which replaces an exchange server and is free for up to three users. I installed it yesterday and my omnia7 could sync the calendar. However, I don't have outlook and could not check if that works. I didn't try to send/receive mails because I already use a separate IMAP account.
Zarafa runs on linux, so you'd have to create a virtual machine or install it on a home/root server.
The manual explains the installation very well and ubuntu provides packages in its canoncial-partners repository. But if you don't have any linux knowledge that might not be the easiest project to begin with.
HTH
You HAVE to assign a live id account to a Windows Phone; that is the only way to use the marketplace, to add social integration etc. That said, you can add the live account to outlook, install outlook connector and your info (calendar, contacts) will be in constant sync. Its a better solution to synchronize than active sync was.
Why are you trying to complicate the process?
@ShakaMan: Thanks! As far as I understood this is basically a exchangeserver (which I could instal on my own PC / Webspace /server), right?
@TechJunkiesCA Jeah, I know that it's easy. I simply don't trust MS or Google to keep my data. I have no problem with said live account But I do not want to give all my caenders and details of my contacts (friends and family) to a company of any kind. Thats the point.

well, when you have (many) contacts with private data (name, home/company address, birthday, ...) you should care what you "publish" about other people. I don't care if others put their own data on the web, but they shouldn't do that with the data of their contacts.
