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

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.
I've just converted to Linux (Ubuntu) and my Qtek S200 is due to this a bit "off limits" now as far as syncing and such goes.
There ought to be a bunch of *nix-users here with knowledge of how to a) sync in Linux, b) Manage PIM (mainly file transfer for programs, photos etc), c) both.
What's the prefered method? To use wine to run Active Sync (will it work?) or use another program designed for *nix?
As far as I know, there is no software available to sync your WM5 device with your Linux box. My workaround was to set up an Exchange account with 4.smartphone.net as that allows me to not only synchronise PIM with Outook, but with Evolution as well (using the Exchange plugin). Not a very tidy solution I know, but it was the best I could come up with!

WM5 sync with Evolution
Hello,
I'm looking for solution to sync my Artemis with Ubuntu, actually since I've used WM5 there was no problem, I've used synce and synce-multisync plugin to sync my PDA with Evolution and Google Calendar, Unfortunately this workaround does not work for WM6 devices, so since I've updated my os version the sync does not work any more.
I know that it is still possible to use Exchange server , but I don't want to use that method, so if there is some USB sync method available for WM6 devices I'll be very happy to be informed . For all other users with WM5 - use Synce it works fine.
Regards,
JazzyMC
P.S. Sorry for my English

It is possible under Linux with the project called SynCE (http://www.synce.org). Earlier this month a new release (0.11) introduced good support for wm5/wm6. Currently we are trying to package it for the major distributions ( IIRC we already have packages for Fedora Rawhide, people are working on Debian/Unbuntu packages and we have someone working on opensuse packages).
Furthermore, for people that have KDE running and/or have Qt4 running, i have been working on a small program that builds ontop of the SynCE components to provide a Manager application for your WM5/WM6 phone. The name is SynCE-KPM and screenshots/progress can be found on my homepage (http://www.guidodiepen.nl).
It is written in Python and it makes use of PyQt4.
It will display notifications when you (un)plug a phone, it gives you some general information about the phone. It also allows you to install CAB files to the phone and uninstall any installed program. Finally, it also presents a GUI for the partnership management.
NOTE: One function of ActiveSync that SynCE-KPM will not do is syncing, that is done via other programs.
There is also support for syncing your phone to your PIM application. For this the opensync library is used to do the actual syncing. The opensync library has plugins for both evolution as well as kontact. One project within the SynCE (sync-engine) is a project that talks 'ActiveSync' to the phone and transforms the data from this to something opensync understands. Vice versa, after the syncing is actually done by the opensync lib, it sends data back to sync-engine, which in turn will communicate this back to the phone via 'ActiveSync' talk.
For more information, please visit www.synce.org
I managed to sync my HTC Diamond with Evolution, the only problem is that only the "Personal"-Calendar in Evolution is recognized for syncing, no other calendars (or even the birthday-events!!!) are used.
Does anyone know a workaround for this behaviour?
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.
Hi friends,
Let me put these questions as simple as it can be -
1. is it possible for android to synchronize with the desktop computer
running Win XP?, if yes how? Wm phones can do it seamlessly using
MSActivesync.
2. is it possible to use the desktop's internet connection and browse
the web from the android? (just like WM-phones do with MS Activesync)
3. Is there a way to import all the Windows mobile contacts onto the
Android phone? NOT from google mail-account because I have different
contacts in my phone and gmail. And I would like to import my Phone
contacts onto Android.
THANKS to anyone who answers all/part of the queries.

1. Hopefully google would release a cloud based or an application that allows this, as it would make some lives a little easier.
2. I do not believe there is an app capable of this but it may be possible via bluetooth or use the desktop as an AP. Either way, i don't think you will get any better than you would off of wifi.
3. I found this off a quick search http://www.myhtcphone.com/import-contacts. Dont know if it works or not, but it seems to be like what you want.
1. use google calendar sync.
2. use adb port forwarding with proxy or vpn.
3. export your outlook contacts as csv and import them in gmail.
Not Really!

Google calender sync is at it says "for your calender only". No contacts. No idea why they can't just add it. Our lives would be so much easier.
I've had a friend report to me that Google has licensed the ActiveSync technology, so it may be added in a future build of the Android OS.
I believe that the "Hero" version that Haykuro is toying with currently also showed ActiveSync in one of the menus, but I can't vouch for that at the moment.
Hopefully it will be sooner rather than later.

It's not ActiveSync, that's Microsoft's product. The new Hero build (as well as the stock Magic ROM) have a program called HTC Sync. I don't believe anyone has obtained a copy of the desktop software for that though.
it's two separate things.
google licensed activesync to allow ms exchange clients to sync with google calendar and gmail contacts (see http://www.google.com/mobile/winmo/sync.html). you already have this on android.
the ms exchange option appeared in the mail app can only connect to ms exchange servers (not your desktop activesync clients) and can do email only.
htc sync is the only possiblility. (m$ won't be stupid enough to allow you to use activesync on any other platform.)
Your ideas of sync are outdated on Android.
My phone address book syncs to my gmail account, and my email clients address book syncs to gmail. My phone calander syncs to Google Cal, and I find the web based interface to work just fine. But I am sure you can find something to sync whatever your cal program is to google.
All this syncing happens when the phone is in my pocket and is always up to date.
As for browsing the web from the phone, over the usb connector, why? The phone has 3G and wifi.
You can import your contacts as a group into gmail, then set the phone to only display contacts from that group.

as everyone else is surely noticing .. google syncs better than the mickeysoft mousesync stuff other people use .. you are automatically synced to the google server and from there you can do anything .. i pull my calendar into outlook or anything else i want .. so .. what was the question again?!?
If you have no 'net connex, 'the cloud' does 2 things: jack & shizzle.
I do, however, wish I could keep my contacts synced with GMail (after my initial .cvs port-over). GCalSync works very well, though!

That's great, but I don't want to be beholden to a corporation, especially not to a single corp using closed protocols. If kinda defeats the purpose of having an open source phone for some of us. A mechanism to sync to my home server (not desktop), would certainly be welcomed.

Ever heard of wireline? I guess you can't conceive of being in an environment without wifi or 3G, they do exist you know? Not to mention that it would be nice to not always have to broadcast everything you do into the ether.

Yes, many of the suggestions sounds good for me. I am guessing many of you r not on Windows anymore. My problem is there, I am still on Windows just becoz I play lot of games, install a lots of programs which are only possible on win-ground. I do streaming - didnt find lot of freedom in this area on other OSs.
btw, I will apply your ideas considering them expert opinions becoz OI am just a noob in such things.

that didn't make much sense .. "not on Windows" anymore .. my primary OS is Microsoft for the same reason that there is a lot more freedom

Oh, you're not tied to Google. Android is made so that each of its apps can be replaced by a user-made app (of course, as with the lock screen, that's still in the process of being completed). There's a few calendar applications in the market that can do the same thing that the Google Calendar can. Or you could code your own/hire someone to do so.
I don't get G3. And Wifi is only at home. I am in Edge or GPRS most of the time. I was in GPRS when I typed that message. Syncing works just fine.
I can understand not wanting to trust your data to Google. Apps can read and write to the address book and cal. All somebody needs to do is make an on-line sync app.
After years of living with having to sync my palm, the "cloud" syncing Google provides is the next slice bread. But I do backup my phone, just in case.
I still don't see why you want to browse the web on your phone, wired to your laptop. Just use the laptop then. Or create an ad-hoc connection with ICS and do that over wireless.(Not tried it, but I assume it will work.)

When it starts working for the Android, you could use Funambol (http://www.funambol.com/) on your PC and get both a cloud sync (if you so choose) and a desktop sync. I used to use it to sync my SE P990.
The last time I checked, it wasn't working, but maybe it's fixed now.

I can't speak for the original poster, but I often want to download stuff to my phone, apps, data, ... This is not surfing so to speak, but it still requires a connection. Sometimes wireless is not available for this.

Yes, thanks, I am familiar with that project. Unfortunately I refuse to run a 500MB RAM gorilla (I tried it, it really does use 500MB) on my home server (I run at least 10 virtual servers on my one PC) just to provide a sync framework for one phone. I will not sacrifice that much from the other real server applications that I use. Funambol is really not a good (sane) solution for individuals. I will be investigating the syncevolution framework soon.
Hi guys,
I might get a WP7 device soon, only thing that still really bugs me is the missing active sync connection that I oved over the years! I know I could use google or hotmail to sync my Outlook with a WP7 device but I refuse to give in on that one. So instead of argueing why I should or should not want that I'm gonna try to find some solutions. I am not afraid of some not-so-easy way if at least we find one.
The following ideas came to my mind:
1) making use of the pim.vol file in my current winMo Phone.
somehow copying/converting it to the WP7 and than using it. afterwards copying it back to WinMo and sync it with my PC. a bit messy, but how about this? Further info could be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072796
2) Host a (free) exchange server.
We all cann't afford MS Exchange for sure. but there's a open source alternative or two: http://oxpedia.org/index.php?title=Main_Page_CE#quickinstall
Even better would be to have it running on the same PC so a server of some kind is not required...
3) sending all contacts via mail to the phone and having a seperate emailadress where all outlook appointments are sent to seperatly as invitations. Not really syncing though...
4) Get someone to programm a solution...
Have I missed something? are there limitations I for some reaseons was no aware of?
Thnaks all!
Use the Outlook Connector with your Windows Live ID; when you add a contact in Outlook, copy & paste it into your Windows Live contacts (which appear right in your Outlook on your PC), and then when Outlook sends & receives, it uploads your changes in your contacts to your Windows Live account. As soon as your phone syncs your Windows Live account, the new contact will show up on your phone. I use this method and it literally takes less than a minute from when I add the contact in Outlook until it shows up on my HTC HD7s.

thanks for your replies! Unfortunately I'm still looking for some kind of solution so if anyone has a hint of some kind... keep 'em commin'
hi,
you can install zarafa ww w dot zarafa dot com (new user -> you have to fix the link). There's a community edition and an outlook connector which replaces an exchange server and is free for up to three users. I installed it yesterday and my omnia7 could sync the calendar. However, I don't have outlook and could not check if that works. I didn't try to send/receive mails because I already use a separate IMAP account.
Zarafa runs on linux, so you'd have to create a virtual machine or install it on a home/root server.
The manual explains the installation very well and ubuntu provides packages in its canoncial-partners repository. But if you don't have any linux knowledge that might not be the easiest project to begin with.
HTH
You HAVE to assign a live id account to a Windows Phone; that is the only way to use the marketplace, to add social integration etc. That said, you can add the live account to outlook, install outlook connector and your info (calendar, contacts) will be in constant sync. Its a better solution to synchronize than active sync was.
Why are you trying to complicate the process?
@ShakaMan: Thanks! As far as I understood this is basically a exchangeserver (which I could instal on my own PC / Webspace /server), right?
@TechJunkiesCA Jeah, I know that it's easy. I simply don't trust MS or Google to keep my data. I have no problem with said live account But I do not want to give all my caenders and details of my contacts (friends and family) to a company of any kind. Thats the point.

well, when you have (many) contacts with private data (name, home/company address, birthday, ...) you should care what you "publish" about other people. I don't care if others put their own data on the web, but they shouldn't do that with the data of their contacts.
