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)

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.

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.
Hi,
I'm looking for a program to remind birthdays and syns with outlook. There are some out there but not what I'm looking for. I used to have Datemate (for Palm..) You could scan the outlook contact notes for events. I don't want to scan in my agenda. I know BirthdayBoy does this. I need a clean agenda ;-)
You would put for example the childs birthdays in the notes ans it will scan for that. Also possible to scan for weddingdates etc etct.
Hope you can help me out. I already looked at BirthdayBoy and Vbirthday but they don't offer scanning in outlook contact notes for dates...
thx!
I'm not quite sure what you're looking for, Outlook syncs the dates in your calendar, if you want reminders, you cann add them in Outlook and it will be synced. PocketBreeze and Spb Diary both have a tab for special events in the today plugin I believe.
Hello everybody and a Happy New Year,
I would like to know if it's possible to automatically transfer (take over) the birthday dates of my contacts in the calendar as recurring events (reminders), to be able to display them on the "Today" screen. I would like to do this without additional software, if it's possible. I have the english version of Windows 2003 SE on my Dell Axim X30i PDA (firmware A05).
Thank you very much in advance for each advice!

I know there is a program todo it, i'll have to find it tonight.... The main problem would be that i don't know if it supports wm 2003.....
Thank you for your reply. So you mean is not possible without an additional software? So in WM2003 the contacts birthday datas will not be automatically transfered in Calender as reccuring events?
There is a program called "darkannifalert" That says it will add alerts for contacts birthdays (i have never tried it but i imagine it does what it says ) No wm does not natively support adding birthdays to your calender. You can give the program a shot but it probably was made for wm5 and later (you're 3 versions of wm behind, so it will be a little harder to find 3rd party apps )
As far as I know, when you sync your PPC with Outlook, Outlook will create the Birthdays in Calendar and sync them back to your phone
"As far as I know, when you sync your PPC with Outlook, Outlook will create the Birthdays in Calendar and sync them back to your phone"
but...when I go to phone's calender ..view by month ...that day would not be highlighted ..but when i click into taht day ..the word who birthday appeal ..is normal to wm?
Hi,
I don't know where the difference to the general forum, so I hope I'm right here.
I had a few problems with the birthday appointments in the calender, so I delete everyone. Some birthdays where 2-5x in the calender and a few had a reminder every 12 years.
So the birthday of may contacts is stored in the details part. Know I want, that my phone reminds me if someone has birthday. Whats the best solution? I prefer a solution, that also outlook will notify my. But when only my phone will notify me, its also ok.
I use the HTC Touch Pro 2 with the EnergyROM (WM 6.5 and Manila 2.1)
best regards,

Hi All,
I have just purchased an Oppo A77 Android phone, and it has been a really good investment. The hardware is amazing for the price, but the OS is a little bit challenging (ColorOS, Android 6), though by no means a deal breaker.
At the moment I am trying to work out how to display my Outlook Calendar on the phone, presumably through the default Google Calendar app.*
I would rather not export (from Outlook) then import (into Google), but instead would prefer to display the Outlook Calendar directly.
I already have the Microsoft Outlook app on the phone, but it doesn't present reminders, beep, etc! I am therefore not alerted to meetings, and the like, which is a very important Calendar feature in my view.
If anybody has any suggestions on how to display the Outlook Calendar effectively can you please let me know.
Kind Regards,
Davo
