I just recently was assigned an enterprise account at my college for email and calendar syncing. I have my email syncing through this account currently, but if I choose to sync my calendar, all of my personal (as in everyone shouldn't be seeing) appointments are displayed on the exchange server for everyone to attempt to schedule around.
So, this leads to my question, is it possible to have two different, distinct calendars on the Fuze? Just as with having two email accounts, I wanted one personal calendar and one work calendar on my mobile device.
Hopefully this is a stupid question with a simple answer!

Hello Everyone, I Have One Really Big Issue.
I Have Two Full-blown Exchange Accounts, I Mean With Separate Calendars, Email Address, Contacts, Notes, Tasks.
I Also Have Only One Pocket Pc.
Anyone Have Any Idea How I Could Use Both On The Same Phone?
I Mean I Am Sure There Is A Program There Somewhere That Works Like Activesync And Has Its Own Task, Email, Calendar Managers, Right?
I Could Use Activesync For One Account And That Other Program For Other Right?
However, I Have No Idea What That Program Could Be...
Anyone Knows?
Or Is There Any Other Way To Make Two Separate Exchange Accounts Be Downloaded To Same Device And Show As Separate Accounts Still?
(i Do Not Want My Email To Be Forwarded, I Do Not Want My Email Box To Have Email Addressed To Both Email Addresses In One Huge Inbox. I Do Not Want My Calendars To Be Synced To One. I Do Not Want My Task List To Be On The Same List For Both Accounts. Basically, Same Device, Two Separate Accounts, Or Profiles If There Is Such A Thing).
Thank You For All Your Help.
Unless you're able to maintain exchange profiles on your pocket PC, i don't think it will work. I have the same problem and have not found a solution yet.
I downloaded the outlook connector and went through the entire tutorial and i believe i set up my contacts and calender correctly. All the contacts and calender entries from outlook are now in my windows live account, and are also on my HTC trophy.
The problem i'm running into is now that it doesn't actively sync and keep my live entries up to date. If i add a new contact in outlook, i dont see it in live or on my Trophy, and the same with new calender entries.
I feel like i'm missing something small, but i just cant seem to figure it out. I tried deleting the live calender in outlook and recopying it again, and that worked to show new entries, but it still does not actively sync with new entries.
Make sure you're adding to the right calendar and contacts, there is at least 2 of each, contacts will have something like contacts and then contacts from "live account username", calendar you'll need to tick the box for calendar from "live account username" and add your entries to that calendar to get them on your phone. As an aside do you only use outlook for your live account?
No i use outlook for business email, contacts and calendar.
I'm attempting to delete the entire Live account from outlook and also clear my contacts, and calendar from hotmail then add everything again. Hopefully it works this time.
So just so i'm correct in my way of thinking, once Outlook connector is configured correctly it should automatically sync your contact and email 3 ways between the WP7 Smartphone, Windows Live, and Outlook? and for most people is this working flawlessly?
Yes thats right, anything you add to Outlook against your Live bits will sync to Windows Live which in turn will sync to your phone and any combination of adding on one will update the other two, it's not instant but will all catch up eventually (think mainly down to how you have your sync intervals)
ah, now i see where the confusion comes into play.
Only the Live(hotmail) profile in outlook will sync with the rest. Not my original profile. SO that means if i create a new calendar item in my regular POP account, i have to copy it over to my Live account in order for it to sync with the cloud, and then my trophy.
Seems like the simpler thing to do would be to use gmail calender sync. At least that doesn't require redundant sync's.
at least we know that MS thought it through
Hi,
Till now I am using Gmail to fetch my pop3 accounts and it is just perfect.
But it doesn't really syncing with WP.
The main question is, if I migrate my pop3 accounts from Gmail to Hotmail, is it will be possible (on my phone) to send emails from various accounts?
It will only be possible if you add the POP account's login info to your WP7 device.
as a separate mail account?
Correct. You don't really have to sync them, if you don't want to, but that will make sending replies pretty hard.
I did not understood..
How exactly I have to set the accounts?
The phone doesn't support custom FROM fields, so far as I know. You can sync your POP3 (people still use that?) accounts to the phone and reply from them, of course. If you get your POP3 accounts through Hotmail, they'll probably show up on the phone but the replies will appear to come from Hotmail.
OK, I see that here is no way to use just one inbox for now as Microsoft advertise Hotmail...
Sad because Gmail on Android works perfect, I wish here were also.
Well, you could certainly sync your POP3 accounts to the phone, and then merge the inboxes for them with your Hotmail or Gmail (or both) accounts. Then, it's a "one inbox" experience on the phone, certainly.
The main thing is not how they will look like on the phone.
For me is important to be in one place- gmail or hotmail..
Guys,
I'm setting up my wife's new phone.
I don't seem to be able to add birthday, anniversary dates, etc to a contact unless I link all the contacts to Google; something I don't want to do.
Any ideas how to get round this?
TIA
Hi, this may or may not help! My method. My wife and I share the same contacts/calendar list. So I created a dummy gmail account. On our phones, tablets we only allow that dummy email address to sync its contacts and calendar. Vice versa, on our real gmail and Outlook accounts the contact and calendar sync is disabled. This works quite well. If that's not you want try searching for CardDav. This is what my Blackberry is using, it works perfect. You should find a number of Android app's and corresponding CardDav servers. Hope this helps.
But you mention birthdays, anniversaries etc, wouldn't it be more advantageous to put these items in a calendar, setup to give timely reminders of upcoming events?
From Wikipedia quote" CardDAV*(short for*Card Distributed Authoring and Versioning) is an*address book*client/server protocol designed to allow users to access and share contact data on a server. "Unquote.

Hi Graham,
Thanks for the reply, mate. I think just turning off the sync is probably the way to go, and that's what I've done.
I'm grateful for your input.

Basically, I want to sync my email as manual during peak hours (hours when I am in office and can see emails on my computers constantly as it is annoying to have an alert for the same email on my phone). However, doing so makes my calendar sync as manual as well. Can I sync my calendar on push and email on manual (ideally using peak schedule setting where I will have my emails on push outside office hours)?
I hope it made sense what I am trying to do.
Pretty sure this should be in some other thread, but anyway...
As far as I know, you can't do that straightaway.
The simplest workaround, for Exchange at least, without Tasker etc is to make 2 accounts. One is your email as IMAP. In this, sync only email at whatever interval. Do not sync calendar.
The second is your email as Exchange. In this, do not sync email, only calendar, contacts, etc. Keep it as push.
It's fairly straightforward to set up. Only thing is you will have 2 accounts in your email client. I name one Email and the other Calendar, or something, and never see the second one.
You will need IMAP enable for your exchange account by administration.
See if that works for your setup.
