Syncing outlook with gmail (or any other) via BT ActiveSync - Palm Treo 750

i am havin problems syncing my treo's outlook with my gmail account - and this goes for both pop or imap;
the thing is that i can browse the web, download weather updates for the htc home etc, get my calendar and contacts, sync the outlook inbox with the exchange server etc but i can't get the gmail synced;
all it does is that it says that it can't connect to the server;
i tried messing with the mailbox settings and the one parameter 'use X connection' seems to be the key - altho there is no right answer to that one, as when i'm connected using activesync over bt to my desktop, i'm not wap/mms/the internet/work connection;
does anybody know how to set this up?

Enable 'Outlook' mailbox without activesync?

I've noticed on my kaiser that the 'Outlook' mailbox isn't shown unless I set activesync to sync my emails. I'm actually using another program to sync email, which specifically says I need to set activesync NOT to try and sync emails. The emails are syncing, as I can see them in some programs and today plugins, but when I go to the message app I don't have a choice of the outlook mailbox.
If I enable the mail sync on activesync, then the outlook mailbox shows up on the device, but then I always get an activesync error since there's actually no compatible mail client on the pc for it to sync with.
How can I unhide the outlook mailbox from the message app / mailbox chooser?

Contacts sync with another phone?

Is there any way of sending ALL contacts to another phone via bluetooth? Unfortunately outlook isn't an option for me (only have that via work, and the corporate policy doesn't allow connection of personal phones).
On (some) other phones you can select all contacts and send via bluetooth - I can't find any similar option on my Touch Dual.
Any suggestions?
well there are programs which sync with windows live as in hotmail and with gmail too
or you can sync with a home pc with outlook and activesync
or use a backup program

Ok, when u first synced email, contacts etc, was it via active sync or through the exchange?
Have you configured ithe server options in the active sync settings to download when they arrive?
Also other option, have you configured how many days email to download in active sync/folders?
Try those for now, is usally one of them.
Also, check that the messages aren't archived for some reason.

I connect via ActiveSync. No Exchange Server. I have not set up any server so there are no server options appliable.
I set to sync "ALL MAILS"
No change. Only messages coming to my outlook while I am connected on AS will appear on my PPC as well.
I tried to uncheck the "Archive" one folder. But it won't sync either.
So, thats not the solution

mmmm.... most strange.... i assume urusing an sd card to store attachmetants? check down load size of attchments. i assume no eroor on active sync screen on connect? active ayncs options are configfure to sync when connected? describe wot happens when u plug in the usb to ur PPC?
OK I got it.
It was simply the configuration in WinMobile-Center Application on WIN VISTA that I had to configure to sync ALL MESSAGES no matter what size and date AND hat to mark all mail folders.
Done, working
great

Setup/Syncronize Email WM6/PC

Hello,
I'm having some troubles understanding how email process in WM6.
I have a POP3 account for business mail, and i access it from 3 different places (Work, Home and PDA). All three work fine and without problems, but not sync'd.
I noticed that everytime i send an email at work, it will not be seen in PDA neither at home. If i send the email at home, it won't be seen at PDA neither at work.
I was exploring the WM6 sync stuff and i got confused....
I managed to sync the mail using Windows Mobile Device Center and all mail from PC was sync'd with the PDA, but i noticed also that if i try to send an email from PDA, it won't get out of the outbox until i connect my USB cable to the PC (stupid thing).
Is there any way of having my email sync'd?
Maybe some IMAP account or something else? I think it won't be possible with a standard POP3 account.
Thank you for any help.
You're right, IMAP is the only protocol that syncs mail.
You could try forwarding all your POP3 mail to a GMail account and then set GMail to send mail using your POP3 email.

Can't sync Google contacts via Push/activesync but Mail & Calendar OK.

I have a Touch Pro2 running the official HTC wm6.5 ROM (EUR).
I am unable to sync my contacts via activesync exchange server but Mail & Calendar are syncing OK.
If I tick mail and calender and then sync the device all works fine and sure enough the mail and calender is propagated. However if I tick contacts it starts syncing saying "syncing contacts 1/928" it gets up to about 30/928 then stops and says its finished. There are no contacts added.
I've never had this problem before. They sync perfectly on my Diamond (wm6.5) and Iphone 3GS.
Can anyone think what to try?
If you have Google apps, you have to allow 'Mobile Sync' in the Dashboard for the domain settings.
In regular Gmail, there is something like it I believe, but that is the issue...it is simply a matter of "allowing" it via a checkbox
