A real private agenda/calendar - General Questions and Answers

Hi people,
I have a business phone and I have to sync the email and calendar with by business network. As you understand, I don't want to share my personal appointments on the business calendar so I'm looking for a agenda/calendar that doesn't share the data with the standard wm6 calendar and have the option to not sync with anything. A real private thing. T just want to have separeted calendar for business and private issues and don't want them to merge themselves into outlook.
Can you tell me if there is any program with this specifications?

I have seen readers, but these do not sync with the internal calendar, which I assume you want to do (as I do too).
I am really surprised there is no simple way to sync an ical profile with either Outlook or Pocket Outlook.
I know you can sync with a public profile on your desktop, but I doubt everyone wants to make their calendars public, and still doesn't help for people on the move.
An alternative would be to stop using Google Calendar for now until more solutions are available, and set-up a Live Mail2Web account, and simply use their Outlook Web Access for your calendar needs, and put the sync profile in your Activesync.

It's the only good all round solution to online contacts backup, calendar sync, and push mail, and all from one provider, and free of charge too.
Nice one mate ill look into that :wink:
Remote Calendars
I've been using an open source program called Remote Calendars.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/remotecalendars/
it synchs your google calendar to outlook which can then be synched to your PPC.
you can also synch the other way (i.e. put something in your PPC and have it transferred to Google)
it's not a perfect system but it's the best i've found
Am I right in thinking you still have to make your calendar public for this application to work though?
No google calendars have two addresses:
a public one - which you can disable and
a private one - which you should never give to anyone else or publish anywhere
you can get your private address from the Calendar Details page of the settings menu. this is what you use for Remote Calendars
so your calendar is still private (or shared with family & friends etc)
woohhhoooooooo :lol:
Google Calendar Sync
This only works for main calendar:
5 March 2008 Google Calendar Sync allows you to sync events between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar.
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=89955
You can now access your Google Calendar account from your mobile phone! Just visit mobile.google.com/calendar/ with your phone's web browser and once you're logged in, you'll see your list of upcoming events with date and time information in an easy-to-browse format.

Sync only a contact category

Hello,
Here is the situation: I have Outlook 2003 at home and MS Exchange 2003 at work (and do not have access to exchange informations outside my work). I am synchronizing my PocketPC at home only currently.
I want to be able to synchronize my work contacts from my MS Exchange at work with my PocketPC, BUT I do NOT want my personal contacts to be stored on MS Exchange (because unfortunately we often have to give our email password to colleagues for urgent reasons; and I would not feel well if all my personal contacts where stored on my work servers).
Is it possible to do this ? if yes, how did you manage that ?

Two Calendars on HTC Fuze?

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!

How do I sync and manage WM device with MS Outlook?

Hello,
I have MS Outlook and ActiveSync is installed and able to sync email, contacts, tasks fine.
But the problem is that all of this is on work laptop and I am afraid Exchange Server might accidentally tap into my private contacts and make them into public view!
Therefore, I've been searching for alternatives and found none!
I would like to have some program that would handle contacts with pictures associated with and any other added features.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Adding birthdays to contacts

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.
