I am currently trying Egress, because I am very interested in the feature: Newsgator synchronized channel.
I am a long time user of Newsgator Online, and now I want to be able to bring my feeds with me in the train thanks to Egress.
My problem, is that my Egress refuses to configure a Newsgator synchronized channel, I have the following error message:
"
To create a synchronized Newsgator channel, you must first create a location named 'Egress' and then add the desired channels from within Newsgator.com
"
I don't understand what this message really means:
- I have created a folder named 'Egress' in Newsgator Online, but the error message is still the same.
- I have created a folder named 'Egress' in Egress, but the error message is still the same.
Can someone who use Egress together with Newsgator, help me. Thanks, Chris
It does work... you need to go to your newsgatro account (via desktop) and go to Settings->Edit locations and at the bottom create a new location....

Thank you Ramel ! that solved my problem.
I discovered that you can Only configure sync for 1 feed each time ! I have many feeds, is it possible to configure in Egress a long list of feeds to sync with Newsgator ?
Or are there any other Pocket PC app able to sync news with an online news Web site ?

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?

There a new version of Newsgator Go right for WM6:
http://www.newsgator.com/Individuals/NewsGatorGo/Default.aspx
You can have your read/unread article sync with any other Newsgator app including Newsgator Online !
Even so we can read in this software features:
"
Offline Reading: Take your feeds and posts/articles with you. You don't have to be online to read your feeds because NewsGator Go! caches downloaded feeds on the device.
"
I can not see the content of the feed enclosure when I am OFFlinne.. I can only see then when I am ONline.
Has someone been able to read feeds with it when OFFline ? if yes, how ?
Chris
Personal Opinion:
Compeltely scrap Newsgator Go, and if you have friends with the same problem, tell THEM to scrap Newgator Go.
Am I being to hard? Read the following post entitled "Content is Blank":
http://forum.newsgator.com/Topic39989-56-1.aspx
At least 13 posts, all with the same problem, all in THEIR OWN FORUM, over a period of two months.
How many responses or possible solutions from Newsgator?
Zero.
Do yourself a favour and go download pRSSreader.
When Newsgator gets its act together, I would be happy to recommend their product.

I agree with you, that's not acceptable from them not to fix this bug.
But I was so keen to use the synchronization feature of read/none read status..

egress can synchronize with newsgator, but it's not free.

As I am very interested in synchronizing the read/not read status of the articles, I am ready to pay for it, no problem.
So Egress, could be a solution, but are you using the synchronized system of Egress with Newsgator ?
I tried Egress, and it seems to me that you have to enter each news that you want to get synchronized by hand !!
I mean, is there a way with Egress to just enter your Newsgator account and then, all your news feeds under that accound get synchronized in terms for read/not read article status ?
With Newsgator Go (for Mobile), you just have to enter your Newsgator login and password and all your feeds are retrieve and get synchronized in terms of read/not read status.
Chris
Have you tried Newsbreak?? I think it's the best rss/pod client for wm, even better than Egress imo...

yes it's possible, it's been some time I tried it, but it certainly worked without having to put them one by one. You first need to make a group called egress within newsgator (using the website). then you can import a opml and get the option to use a newsgator opml...play with some options and it will work
a rss tool without synchronisation is useless in my opinion! i reed rss on my laptop, on my work and on my mobile...i never want to reed the same story twice ofcourse, so i can't do without synchronization.

Thanks for you comment, I have just tested it as you said, and it works in synchronized mode !!
Before I thought that only the channel entered as 'Synchronized channel', were sync, but in fact they are all synchronized if you specify your Newsgator OPML and create an egress entry on the Web interface !
The only drawback, is that the FOLDERS organization of your feeds are NOT kept at all. Your Newsgator Online folders are not automatically recreated on your device.
That's a pity, because Egress do support folders (and even nested folders). Newsgator Go, for example is able to keep the folders like on Newsgator Online (I have tested this).
sync with google gears for mobile?
Maybe someone with some good programming skills can create a syncable feed reader using google gears for mobile?
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.
I dont get it, I just created a MS onenote file on skydrive and selected three contacts by their email who i gave permission to view/edit it..
they got an email from my live ID saying:
"ABCD shared the folder GROUP PROJECT with you on Windows Live. Click Here"
But once I click on it, it takes me to live.com log in screen..
Now they have gmail accounts, not live accounts for their email..
One even had a live account and logged in, but it said :
Error message
It appears that you don’t have permission to access GROUP PROJECT. You might be trying to access it with a different account or might need to ask the folder’s owner for permission to access it.
Plz help.. how to share a onenote file on skydrive so that multiple people can edit it??

I think there is an option to NOT require a person sign in to edit the notebook. The downside to this if any of your friends share the notebook link it can be accessed by others.
Also permissions are managed by the folder the notebook is in on skydrive. A good solution is to create a folder on skydrive. Give permissions to the folder to your friends and move the notebook into that folder.
Hello,
My company uses hosted Exchange Server for about 200 users, we have been using BB for many years, now we are free to go anyway we want.
Questions: When viewing e-mails from exchange account, can we move them to folders and when moving folders, can we type the name of the folder or do we have to scroll to find the one and then tap to move it? Or is there any app/add-on or customization we can get to allow this?
Also, do all folders get automatically synched to phone, or do we have to select which ones? I hope it syncs them all with no questions, especially when a new one is created on outlook.
Last question, is there a unified inbox for all folders, so e-mails in all folders (not just all accounts) displayed in one screen with icons next to them indicating they are in a folder? If not, that's cool.
I am just trying to move from BB to Windows Phone, and trying to figure out if it has the features I use most frequently.
Answers would really be appreciated.
You can move emails to folders. You must select the folder from a list. There are no apps or customizations AFAIK to change that.
All folders don't automatically get synced, but when you select a folder for the first time you get the option of turning on sync for that folder. Actually to be honest I am not sure if it syncs the folder just that once or if it will continue to sync that folder automatically.
There is no unified-folder view.
Thanks for the reply.
Someone answered this question else where with:
I figured it out recently, just click on bottom right "..." and you will see all the options you are looking for, all folders are there and can be selected + unified messaging....

Is this possible? i don't own a WP7 device, so I can't try, can you check this please? Is this only for unified messaging from multiple accounts?
Regarding folder sync, the reason I asked is because if it automatically syncs all from exchange server, when you create a new folder on Outlook, you would not have to go back to you WP and select it. Is that the case?
Sync folders are not added automatically, you need to do so manually. The only folders synced by default are Inbox and Sent. Drafts can not be synced. All others can be but you have to set it up manually.
The assumed use case is that a user will only have a few folders inportant enough that they want to use the data and storage to sync them on the phone. Out of some 20-ish folders, I only sync 3 on my phone; the rest aren't time-critical. Exchange rules do a pretty good job of filtering the important from the unimportant for me. This way I can turn on the notification for new mail and have it mean something, rather than just have the phone buzzing all day (I get 300+ emails every day at work).
Just to add to this. They are not synced automatically but are listed automatically. You choose the folder then tell it to sync. after that it will follow the default settings for your exchange account and receive emails pushed.
Also you can pin any of those folders to your start screen. I have one for the directors, one for the CEO and one for staff that is always on my start screen.
We are using exchange 2010 at our office and it pretty much rocks. Also IE9 on Windows phone mango fully supports all outlook web mail options. Works great to access the extra calendars like rooms and such.
In your contacts also you can search the exchange server for an address. Exchange support rocks in windows phone.
Also download the emulator, setup an account and try it out. I think that's possible at least as you can test apps on the emulator.
lastly it also follows exchange rules. You can wipe the phone from (even the user can wipe there own) right through OWA on exchange 2010. Also you can set rules to force pin locks and i think although i haven't tried it, limit what the user can do.
Oh and one more thing... it has sharepoint built in. I haven't tried it yet as i just set up a sharepoint foundation server to pitch to the admins once i've worked more on it. That and onenote
