PIM Software that doesnt share "Office mobile" database - General Topics

Hello all,
I'm looking for a PIM Software (mainly calendar, contacts) under WM6 that runs completely separate from the integrated office mobile. So it should have sort of an own entry in activesync to tell what exactly to sync to that software independently.
I allready had a look to Agenda One and Pocket Informant, but all of these share the exisiting databases of WM's internal office mobile.
When looking at sync tools from chapura or intellisync, they offer advance sync possibilites, but dont support other applications on the ppc than office mobile !?
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance,
Joe

Maybe look into old software of wm2003 era. im sure theres some primitive simple solution.
What about 4.0 student or the dog ate it... i know they are student planners but maybe just maybe independent.

Have you considered tying google calendar into pocket outlook via oggsync and for contacts I do all my adds/removes via the dashwire app from a pc.

Activesync Replacement

Hi all,
Does anyone know of an alternative to Activesync that allows the direction of sync'ing to be specified.
Our users are struggling with Activesync as deleting a contact from their device also results in the contact being deleted from their Outlook account next time they sync.
I'm looking for something that will sync everything to the device, but not delete from Outlook should any changes be made on the mobile device.
Phone in question is a Wizard.
Thanks.
Nick.
Does the lack of response mean that nothing is available like this?
Have you looked at Intellisync or PocketMirror for WinMobile? I'm certain both have that ability.
http://www.sync.com/is_desktop_main.html <-- Intellisync
http://www.chapura.com/pmp_wm.php <-- Pocket Mirror
exactly what i was looking for
Pocket Mirror is way better.
and also found exactly what i needed LivePIM to sync PalmOS to PPC, and vice versa
A free alternative to activesync if you just want to keep your calendar synchronised is to use Google Calendar in the middle.
Google calendar can be set up to synchronise with Outlook using the Google Calendar Sync software. I then use the freeware version of OggSync to synchronise Google Calendar with my Windows Smartphone.
It works for me!

Alternative to outlook.

Hello.
Is there an alternative around for outlook? both desktop and/or pda? that allows sync? (calendar, contacts and email, notes, etc...) i really hate outllook. its slow and lags alot....
if anyone have any ideas?
all the best

If you only want to sync your desktop, take a look at, say, IntelliSync or, to a lesser degree, mNotes.
If with an Exchange server, you can do it too.
But is there any way to use for instance thunderbird?
FinchSync allows you to syncronize Pocket Outlook with Thunderbird. It is said to syncronize contacts, appointments and tasks between Windows Mobile and Thunderbird/Sunbird.
I haven't tested it yet.

Forgot to mention:
http://synchingthunder.sourceforge.net/
It allows one to synchronize Thunderbird installation between different computers. Not exactly what you are looking for, but it may have its uses.
(I failed to get it to work on my system though)
Jörg
Thank you.
Hi there!
First, thank you all for all your kick awnsers!!
I found another program, payware, that lets you sync pocket pc and thunderbird. its called birdie sync http://www.birdiesync.com/home.html shame it doesnt let you, for now they say, sync email...
talking about e-mail... this is exactly what i cant find!! some sort of way to sync pocket pc and thunderbird email.....any ideas?
Another idiea would be putting thunderbird to sych with an outlook.pst file and the user regular active sync...
All the best,
Joao Oliveira.
.
I'm not sure if there already are applications that synchronize the emails (haven't came across any), but it will probabely come...
I also haven't found software to synchronize an Outlook (on the PC) with a ThunderBird.
Jörg
I would love to sync my contacts and appointments with GMail, is there anyway possible. I found Goosync for appointments, but nothing for the contacts file (which is what i REALLY want).
Any ideas?
Birdiesync.
Hello All!
Looks like birdiesync is now supporting e-mail sync.
So you can now actually sync windows mobile 5 with Thunderbird. It supports besides mail, calendar (using sunbird/lightning beta) calendar and tasks.
I'm still testing it.. they have a fully functional trial version that works for 30 days. if you like it you can buy it for 24,95dolars.
all the best,
Joao.

Help with Synching Outlook/PDA

With all the high end questions and support I feela little silly but can't seem to find an answer anywhere. Is it possible to do a selective synchronization between Outlook (2007) and my Smartphone (T-mobile Dash w/WM6)?
I want to have all of my contacts in the outlook contacts folder but only want to sych specific contacts to my Dash. So my Outlook would have all my friend, relatives,business contacts, old info, etc. but I only want to synch my business contacts to my Dash..
I am running Vista Ultimate, Outlook 2007, and using Microsoft Mobile Device center which works great to synch everything...
Possible?? Need 3rd party app...
TIA all!

Contact manager a la Outlook

Everywhere I see I keep finding references to Outlook when I want to edit contacts through my computer instead of through my PPC (it's a seriously painful job at times... ><).
I have no interest in buying the entire damned Outlook/Office suite for this little thing, and OpenOffice covers everything I need otherwise. Does this exist?
Outlook is an awesome app period. I got '07 version (only one on shelves) for about $70. Not to mention it will also be your main point for calender, tasks, notes, contacts, and if you want mail (kind of pointless if you have the unlimited data plan) Or just find a contact manager app for your PPC that you like, you don't have to purchase the entire office suite.
I'm still not keen on getting Outlook. Costly, unnecessary since I have everything I need in other programs or services. All I need is a way to manage contacts like I can do in Outlook (through Activesync), and that's what I'm looking for, but can't find.
Does it exist?
may try jeyo mobile companion.
its a desktop tool to work with your PPC for SMS and contacts.
Im using Mozilla Thunderbird and Birdiesync, if you install the Lightning-Addon for Thunderbird you can even sync your Calendar.

Now this looks interesting. Thanks to both of you for great suggestions!
If there's a free something out there that'd be even better

Synch WM6 with Windows Calendar & Address?

Hi,
I own an HTC Touch, with WM6. Vista includes apps such as Windows Calendar and Windows Address Book.
I was wondering if it was possible to sync automatically (using Mobile Device Center e.g) your windows calendar & address book with the ones used by WM6.
I can't imagine them being so stupid in Redmond not to make it compatible...
I don't want to work with Outlook because for starters, i don't have outlook, and i'm using windows mail, which is as basic as i need.
Anybody a suggestion?
Greetz
not that i know off but if you use hotmail and or gmail you can sync directly to those services
How do you mean? I have a Gmail account...

There are many more stupid decisions being taken in Redmond.. So yes I can imagine them being so stupid not to offer a syning method for 2 of their own products.
The answer is simple - which enterprise clients are going to use those apps? none seems to be the answer, so they are invisible as far as the development team are concerned.
