Hi,
using ActiveSync is a nice feature, but my desire to use windows is very small.
I'd like to ask if there's software available which enables me to sync my address book (at least) with Linux. Actually a "backup" to some formatted text file would be enough though I'd happily sync with some address book.
Thanks in adv.,
Berny Agthe

Thanks for your help, I'll try it tonight.
did u solve it? because I've still some problems
Nope, I didn't get it working yet. The synce application is running on my laptop, the XDA2 gets recognized via USB and i can connect the ppp-Connection but that's it - I don't get dccm working and pstatus always displays that strange "Unknown error" thing.
During the next days I want to try connecting via bluetooth...
I'm not able to use Synce with my Linux box, the way i found it's longer but works for all.

You find all you need here(in Italian).
PS: You have just edit the script with right fields and import it in yout client email
I continue to run into an issue with WM Live where I am trying to get my email as it is received into my account.
Is anyone else having a problem where its not syncing all the time?
Same here
From of yesterday I guess
Would you guys mind posting some more information with your Windows Live problems???
Like what ROM you are currently running and maybe the version # of Windows Live installed on your device. I also think it would be helpful to point out if you are using a Tilt or Tytn II so we can see if there are any differences between the devices.
I have been running AustinSync's BigStorage ROM on my Tilt with WL version 10.6.0032.2100 and so far have not run into any problems. As a matter of fact WL is running much better on the BigStorage ROM than it was on the HTC stock rom.
UPDATE
I had to open my big mouth didn't I. Just started having all kinds of connection issues with Windows Live (10.6.0032.2100). The only changes I made were installing TCPMP and the Flashbundle.cab to view youTube videos. Now I keep having to soft reset my Tilt in order to successfully send and receive email! When I open WL and check the Sync screen it is stuck on "Checking Internet connectivity". All other applications are getting internet connections no problem (including Live Search - the mapping program) This is a major issue for me, as I use WL for all of my email and contacts right now. Does anybody have any ideas on a fix for these connection inssues.
I am running a tilt with Kaiser AKU.0.7.0 Cooked ROM v.1.57.000.1.
according to the list I'm running Windows Live Mobile 10.6.31.2600.
What other info can I give?
I have tried both of the big storage rom's and had the same problems.
There is definitely an issue were WL can not detect the Kaiser's internet connection. I have been searching for answers all night, but no luck. I even tried the "GPRS Always On " Reg tweak from the sticky post, but it did not help.
This is a big problem for me, as I use Live for all of my contacts, email, and chat.
Has anyone found a workaround or fix??
Check to see if your proxy server is checked. It was a problem I had when I could not connect to the internet.

you can download the windows live application that is on most WM6 devices by default... at&t decided we dont need it apparently. this will allow you to do msn messenger (windows live messenger) over data instead of sms as well as working with windows live mail.

Installation
Not to be a noob, but I am, so how do I install this?
I'm using the 8525 with WM6.
My main issue is getting Windows Live to run on WiFi, I'm assuming this will fix it. Any help would be great, thanks.
I just upgrade my palm 750 from wm5 to wm6.
In the past, I can sync my data and email everywhere with mail2web service.I feel happy.However it's too slow to pick up phone and hang up the call in wm5.0.
so I upgrade to wm6.0.it can solve them.but I got a big problem now.I can't use mail2web sync service.
I've according to its guide.
server: mobile.exchange.mail2web.com
user: myusername_mail2web.com
domain: ad2
(encrypted connection)
If I sync with encrypted connection(SSL),it will appear:
The security certificate on the server is not valid.Contact your Exchange Server administrator or ISP to install valid certificate on the server (Support Code:0X80072F06)
If no,it will appear:
You account in microsoft exchange server does not have permission to sync with your current setting. support code:0x85010004
And I also tried to get the certification from the server via "SslChainSaver.exe" and import all to my palm.
But it still can not work. I am so upset.please help me.
I use mail2web as well. Mine works fine.
You need different settings for WM6 than you have for WM5.
The username is not in the format: myusername_mail2web.com but is username_mailxxxx
It's explained on their site. My email settings then activesync settings I think.
Hi.I've tried to input as you said.but it can not work.
Have you import any certification on your device?

I've not put any certification or anything on - just typed it in as instructed on their site and it worked with no problem.
Sorry can't help more.
Try this
Try this:
change your user: myusername_mail2web.com
to
[email protected]
use @ instead of _
no need to fill up "ad2" its automatic.
the setting on mail2web website is not always universal for some devices.
mine is works that way... Good Luck!
Ok I have wrestled with this for 2 days straight.
I had issues with this with my CFO's windows mobile device but at least his was giving me a specific error message.
My Tilt has the latest Dutty ROM upgrade (Dual Touch), I haven't been able to get my exchange server synced OTA.
I run a Exchange 2007 Enterprise environment. Everything on the server side is fine. My OWA url is https://webmail.firethornmobile.net. All I get is waiting on network after 2-15 minutes.
I have soft reset, deleted the PC partnership, taken my connection off of auto and tried both my work connection and isp.
I'm starting to suspect it maybe the ROM upgrade but it was doing the same thing when I first started the phone.
Please help.
OMA enabled?
Do you have the OMA enabled? Do you have the server root CA installed in the tilt (I am assuming you are using secure method for OMA)?
I have flashed Dutty's dual touch v2 and I don't have problem to get emails through OMA services.
Do you ever get the other PDA sync with email before? From the error message, it seems the Activesync in the Tilt can't talk to the exchange (front end) server at all.
Yes on Exchange 2007 OMA is enabled natively. In the middle of seperating data centres from our sister company.
We just got bought by Qualcomm so we never bought a cert from Verisign. I am using a self sign cert from our exchange server ( I have to turn SSL off on the pda side.
This has never worked, I already called Cingular and they said if I can get webmail from gmail and hotmail then it isn't their problem.
I have installed the self signed cert on the handset.
OK, you don't need to install the self-signing cert in the PDA, but you need to install the root cert of the self-signing cert in the PDA.
Usually, a server cert or user cert has a root authority (CA), you need to install the CA cert in the PDA, not the server cert.
If you can install a window server (2000 or 2003), you can enable the certificate authority server and issue your exchange server a server certificate. In this case, you will have your own root certificate. I don't suggest you to use Verisign's certificate because everyone has Verisign's root certificate can try to "play" with your OMA server.
However, the error message is still showing that the Activesync in PDA can't reach to the OMA at all.
BTW, the push email doens't work if it's not on the SSL connection.
I apologize that I wasn't clear. Its is the root cert from the CA (Which is our DNS server).
I realize the message means that it isn't getting to OMA. I have been on the phone with AT&T and HTC aboutthis and no one can tell me why it can't connect. I have been given tons of different network settings by AT&T and HTC and nothing changes. I get different error messages but when i put everything back to the way it should be it still gives me this generic message.
I have configured my CFO's handset to get email (Its Palm Treo with WM 6.0) and even though that was a pain in ass it still works (just as good as his Blackberry) and he has SSL unchecked as well.
In that case, you can try to see if you can reach to the OWA from your PDA, if it can, you shall not have network issue.
BTW: the connon name of the server cert must be the same as your public domain name, otherwise, the Activesync will still reject the connection.

I agree with the poster above. I have this exact same set up at my company and it does work. The certificate has to be the external name of the exchange server. If this does not match the PDA will never sync. Check your certificate and make sure the FQDN is correct.
I just check your exchange server from the URL you posted above, your OMA and OWA are working, but the certificate's common name is not the same as the public domain name.
Try to re-issue the certificate, it may just work.
Thanks guys. I'll try that.
Webmail does work from the handset. I don't know how I got my CFo's working to be honest if its flaking on the name of the cert but I'll try that and let you know. I was about to hard reset this thing and leave the cooked ROM's alone for a while. Hopefully this resolves it.
From my experience dealing with Acticesync in the PDA, it's very picky of the name of the certificate. I think that's security reason. The Activesync doens't accept certificate that common name doesn't match the public domain name.
When I use the IP address for test, I have to get a certifiate with the IP address as its common. So I believe that's the certificate's problem, not the cooked rom.
I still suggest you to get your own CA and certificate, in that way, you have more control even debugging this problem.
I feel like a moron asking but how the hell do I change the common name.
You can't change an existing certificate, you have to re-issue a new certificate.
I guest you can't do it by the self-siging certificate, but I am not fimiliar with the self-signing certificate. Get a WIN server machine and install the CA server, after that, you can issue a certificate.
Assumeing you have a CA server ready:
1. Request the certificate from exchange server: you will have a chance to enter the common name of this certificate.
2. Generate a certificate from this certificate request from CA server
3. Import the certificate back to the exchange server.
If you can't get a WIN server as CA server, I will need to ask my colleagues about the free CA server he used from the Internet.
My DNS box is a CA server (started the service on that).
I'll try that then (I hard reset and I now I have an error stating I'm not authorized).
I'll let you know if it works. Thanks.
Ok I believe I did it right but I still get tha error (When connect via usb cable) and I still get the waiting for network message.
When you connect to the USB cable, you have to "allow" the Internet access pass through from the Activesync in the PC, otherwise, it won't reach out to the Internet at all.
Try to connect to other web site to see if you have a good internet connection or not.
Some updates. I made sure the cert is the right common name. I noticed that after I install it on the handset it doesn't put the cert in the root tab...only intermediate. I installed the ca server's cert as well (That went into the root tab).
Im leaving ssl checked and now I get 0X80072F17.
incorrect common name
Your common name is still not correct, it shall be "webmail.firethornmobile.net" only, but you put "http://" at the begining and "/owa" at the end, it not correct.
You have to issue the server certificate one more time with "webmail.firethornmobile.net" (without quotes) as the common name.
Also, when I check the Certification path of your certificate, I don't see this certificate is under any root certificate. Properly you need to check your CA (DNS) to see if it's setup properly.
Hey,
Use this site to figure out the errors you are getting on your phone. http://www.pocketpcfaq.com/faqs/activesync/exchange_errors.php
Also are you the Exchange Admin? If so enable verbose logging so that you can see what is going on with exchange as the connection comes in.
Also if you want to make sure it is not the cert you can "Enable" SSL on the phone and then reg hack it so that it doesn't check for the cert. this will allow you to see if it is a cert problem.
Let me know if you need any help with that. I"m an Exchange Admin and i work with Active Sync day in and day out.
Tried Fix Suggested on Pocket PC FAQ Site
I think this is ON TOPIC. If not, please advise and I will repost elsewhere.
I flashed my phone with the Dutty Beta 2 Touchflow ROM for Tilt. I am getting the following error and have tried the matched solution from Pocket PC FAQ:
0x80830003 N/A Synchronization failed. If the problem continues, contact your network administrator.
1. The Exchange server is configured to require client certificates.
1. On the Exchange server, launch Internet Services Manager. Right click on the Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync virtual directory and choose Properties. Select the Directory Security tab. Click the Edit button in the Secure Communications section and select the option to “Ignore client certificates.”
I continue to get the same error even after dumping the device through the exchange server.
My System Admin thinks that there is something wrong with the version of ACTIVE SYNC provided in the ROM used to flash the device.

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to build a small utility that would correctly set up Pocket Outlook for my e-mail account. Whenever I flash my device, I want to run this little program, removing the need to manually configure it.
The problem is that I can not find out where Pocket Outlook stores its settings. I'm pretty sure it's not in the registry (where I would expect them...). Can somebody help me with some info on this?
It's a WM5 device.
WIth kind regards,
