I know about Jayo solution but seems it doesn't work with everybody.
Is it so difficult to sync SMS (and if possible MMS) with Outlook?
Is it THAT hard?
WM should do it anyway, but are there any real working WM6.1 solutions?

Considering the overall status of the WM6.1 synchronisation (it can't even cope with two PCs anymore) I think there is little hope that Microsoft will ever include SMS sync in the WM features.

Its another one of those MS "We'll get to it soon" requests...
I use Jeyo and so long as you use Office 2007 it works fine. Its' flakey with anything earlier though.
Try the trial version.
will do - a friend didn't get lucky though (with Office 2007)

You may be lucky!
Used it myself on three different PC's with Wizard, Kaiser and now Touch Pro so WM5.0, 6.0 and 6.1.
If you read the FAQ on their support forum http://www.jeyo.com/forums.asp?forum=0 it gives tips for setting up.
hmmm
i can sync with 2 pc...makes troubles and double entries thou
jeyo works by me too, with some error messages :-/
so no OTHER solution?
is it the only one?
I though WM was the OS of choices (and it is, the last sever years I use it)
btw, I don't think Jeyo maintain their programs any more (just visit their forum and see)

Hi all,
Since acquiring my new Pocket PC, I have noticed that I am only able to ActiveSync with MS Outlook. Is it possible to get the Pocket PC to ActiveSync with Lotus Notes as we use this application for work. Considering I do travel a bit, I would prefer this option and not only ActtiveSync with my home PC which of course does use MS products. I use my Pocket PC with my Thinkpad so I need it to be rather compatible in more ways than one.....
Thanx for any advice,
Sean
this maybe?

otherwise you can google some more using this search
http://www.google.dk/search?client=...pc+sync+lotus+notes&meta=&btnG=Google-søgning
Try mNotes
I have been using mNotes for years now. It's not perfect, but works OK. www.commontime.com
Thanx
Thanx for the quick responses and expert advice. I have subsequently downloaded and installed the software from commonplace. I will test this evening when at home....
Ciao
Sean
Commontime mNotes is not WM5 compatible yet. There is a private beta that has not been disclosed to the public yet. E.t.a. for the release 4-6 weeks :-(
Pumatech Intellisync is not WM5 compatible either. E.t.a. another 4 weeks minimum
Easysync Pro is not WM5 compatible, and IBM has no clue on when it will be.
(Main reason for incompatibility: location of databases has changed in the WM5 model, and sync tools cannot access these databases anymore)
well unless he picked the wrong image for his profile and he dont have an xda1 then it dont matter because there is no 2005 for xda1's
hahaha point taken, forgot to look at the device type concerned
Outlook Notes Connector
M$ provide a free connector that lets you use Outlook to access Lotus Notes messages:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...59-5F17-4E52-8980-C4F0DFA92D65&displaylang=en
So you may be able to use Activesync and Outlook.
It works
Hi,
I have downloaded and installed the MNotes. So far it is working great. I am able to ActiveSync with my notes app's on my laptop just perfectly......it really helps instead of lugging my laptop from meeting to meeting. Access all my emails that I have sync'ed with, keeping track of all my meetings, telephone numbers and e-mail address etc.......
Now if only I could get my connection with my ISP for WAP, general GPRS and international SMS'es sorted out, this will be perfect......
Thank you all once again for the assistance. You have all been great...
Sean.
Anyone know if previous XDA Dev apps or hacks work?
I'm also in need of something which will auto disconnect GPRS once the Treo's finished checking for emails.
This software http://www.gb-soft.cz/XDAII/product_gprs_tweak_wm5pe_en.htm worked perfect on my HTC Artemis (WM5), Samsung i600 (WM5 and 6).
But it didn't work very well on the HTC Touch which is also WM6 and now it doesn't work very well on my Treo 750v either.
It's obviously designed for WM5 but it worked flawlessly on the Samsung i600 on both WM5 and 6 but the i600 is a smart phone and so it only has the STANDARD version of Windows Mobile, not PROFESSIONAL, and I guess that has something to do with it.
I normally use WLM Messenger which is great for Instant Messaging but even better at managing hotmail accounts. Sadly the GB-Soft tweak doesn't work very well with WLM.
Right now I'm having to use HTTPMail Provider which enables me to manage my hotmail account and it even disconnects the GPRS connection once its finished checking for email. So this has saved me for now but I would still prefer WLM to manage my hotmail account.
Has anyone been able to find out more regarding this topic?
Are there any other Auto-GPRS-Disconnecting software out there which I'm unaware of?
Kind regards...
Try out BandSwitch currently version 2.4.2. Visit http://commmgrpro.com/_wsn/page2.html
GB Soft Tweak
It works well on my AT&T 750. It is locked and is the original ROM. Good luck!
Thanks...
Thank you both for your help. I'm still testing this software but so far so good and I think with a little bit more work done on it by Daniel, this could be a very useful software which I'll be more than happy to pay for.
Cheers.
has anyone sorted how to get the notes field from a calendar entry to sync ?
I'm having a similar problem where my task notes are not sync'ing. I think this is a bug, since it used to sync with my Tmobile SDA, but not with my DASH.
I have the same problem after upgrading to WM6 on my Samsung i600...
Did you solved it in the meantime and help me with it?
Thanks a lot,
Roel
My calendar notes sync fine with my WM6 Dash -- it also worked with WM5 prior to the upgrade. Currently using Vista with Outlook 2007, previously it was working also with XP and Outlook XP.
Do you have the most recent version of Activesync? Could that be related?
Hi Chaznet,
I have Vista and Outlook 2007. Before upgrading my i600 to WM6 it worked fine. I did the ROM-upgrade a week ago, but just found it out yesterday.
I can make notes attached to a task on my device, it will sync and end up in Outlook on my PC. But just adding one letter to it or something will keep the note on the PC side but after syncing it is gone on my smartphone.
I have WMDC 6.0.6783, I also tried WMDC 6.1 but this will end up in an error on WMDC that I have to delete the current sync-connection and make a new one. I tried to reinstall WMDC back and forth between 6.0 and 6.1 and deleting the sync relation on my device so it was blank (no contacts, tasks, agenda at all present on the device). The only thing it remembers is my device name I gave it on my PC, so maybe I have to manually delete that somewhere.
So if you have a sollution or a place to look. It will be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance
Sorry, never had a problem with it so never had to troubleshoot. Maybe you can find a forum somewhere specific to your device -- possibly it's related to a i600 (whatever that is)...

Hi Chaznet,
It's the Samsung i600 similar to the BlackJack but with Wifi. It is on the European market.
thanks for your answer but if someone else has an answer... This will be great.
notes sync fine with me. i am using:
- tmobile dash w/ iu russian wm6 beta rom
- activesync 4.5
- outlook 2003
You should look for a Samsung forum -- might be something to do with that device. I do seem to recall an earlier version of ActiveSync having this issue, but I really don't remember -- glad it's not something I'm having a problem with, sorry to hear you are...

I hope noone loses it because I posted in the wrong spot, but the questions and answers which I based this on are all over the place.
I noticed an issue with calender sync where appointment would be off by an hour between ppc and pc, and all day events during the DST period would be off by a full day. No one on the web has shown a complete solution that I could find. The following seems to be working so far. I do not know if every step is critical, but this is the last series of steps I perfomed and it seems to be working.
Load all the fixes from ms for your ppc and your pc.
turn off time updates in phone and activsync.
change time and time zone then save, then change back to your current time and zone and save. Do this with both the ppc and pc.
set activsync options so that device overrides pc.
ensure that all times and dates of events, appts. are correct on ppc.
delete all appointments on pc
sync.
you should be good to go. I have entered multiple appointments, including all day events in and out of the DST timeframe and everything seems to be working.
I don't ever recall.having seen anything like this back when I used to use a palm3 with pocket mirror. Is this purely a ms activsync issue?
I hope this helps someone, and saves them a few hours of research. I guess I will be syncing time manualy from now on.

This is actually more of a work around than a solution. BTW I'm syncing from outlook2003.

I think this issue has been resolved in the latter versions of outlook.

Sorry I really missed out that he was already using 2003 !! Seems strange, I am not facing this issue with outlook 2003, but my friend is. Perhaps the problem lies with somethig other than outlook. I had earlier faced similar problem with my Symbian based Sendo X. It was resolved when I uninstalled a trial version of worldmate. Many time management software are known to interfere.
IS there a way to sync windows calendar, mail, contacts with the pda ?
I've been very busy with this, but eventually I installed Office 2007. My guess i that it only works whit outlook..
Outlook? Yes, read documentation

Does anybody knows if microsoft is working on this issue or simply they want that we pay for Outlook?
I can't belive that they don't let us use the built-in calendar/contact!
Any third-part software?
It is meaningless!
Allmost all PDAs that are being sold on the planet comes with version of Microsoft Outlook so no need to buy it!
And Yes it is very sad that you can't sync with Vista's internal programs! They are wey easier to use!

Mine is Outlook 2002!
I don't think it will run on Vista.. But even if it runs.. I can't understand why i have to install that USELESS (and bloatware..) software!
I would use Vista becuse, as you said, it's much more easy!
So why have i instal Outlook (old version) if there is a "mini" (???) outlook built-in?
i guess they consider people who buy this kind of device would actually not care much for price or for outlook since outlook is standard for evey office out there.. have you ever seen a business rely on whatever comes with windows and not ms office? anyway i agree with all of you, there should be some way or 3rd party app that syncs regular windows stuff..
ms is never money satisfied!

So, why they make a camera phone? Businessman can buy 10 megapixel camera.
Why they make pocket pc? Businessman can buy UMTC!
So, sorry, but i can not agree on this theory.
We have a good PIM on Vista. What I ask is to USE IT.
So, is there anyone who knows something about this issue?
Any from the betatesters?
The problem is that Vista was released prior to WM6

Yes i know.. but we can read:
Microsoft® Outlook® 2003 and Microsoft® Outlook® 2007 messaging and collaboration clients are required for synchronization of e-mail, contacts, tasks and notes to a Personal Computer.

So we can understand that:
-Microsoft don't care about calendar.. LOL
-"Allmost all PDAs that are being sold on the planet comes with version of Microsoft Outlook" but it is too old, it wold not run on Vista (Microsoft says it, not me).
So, i repeat: anyone knows if Microsoft is working on sync between PDA and Vista PIM?
Is there a mail, a forum, where i could ask this simply question to Microsoft?
Thank you.
