How to sync WinMobile Calendar with Mozilla SunBird?

Does anybody know how to sync mozilla cal over AS, so that the appointments and todo lists can be seen in pocket outlook?
we don't use outlook calendar in my office, because of shared calendar (and we don't have exchange server running). mozilla sunbird lets us share our calendar, but doesn't sync with our winmob devices.

You can use the freeware finchsync http://www.finchsync.com/.
You have to use an ICS Calendar in Sunbird instead of the "normal" one, then you can tell finchsync on your server that this is the calender to sync to.
(With finchsync you can also sync a Thunderbird address book to your Winmob-contacts).

Calendar - ics

Hi
Is there anyone who knows a way I could easily sync my friends ical (.ics) calendar with the calendar on my Topaz?
I tried to use outlook to sync the calendar, but it could only sync the default outlook calendar. I also tried Gsync to firstly import the ics in my google calendar, and then sync my phone cal with the google cal. But it's really not an easy alternative.
The easiest way would be through my windows live cal or the outlook cal, does anyone know if it's possible?

Google sync is your best bet. Did you set Google as your exchange server?

Yeah, Im trying that now. Thanks for the advice

[Q] Sync Outlook with Android

Hi,
Apologies if Im posting in the wrong section or asking something that's been answered before.
I'm new to the Android scene with an Orange San Francisco (ZTE Blade) and I want to sync contacts, calenders and notes stored in Outlook 2003 by connecting to my PC via USB. What tools are there out there that works like Active Sync?
Thanks.

Sync Outlook with Android
yes i was looking for that to...someone?
Thks

i think the best you can hope for is to export your contacts from outlook, and import them into your gmail account.
you can use google calender sync (search google) this will sync your outlook calender and gmail calender.

I'm not familiar with that phone, but it comes with 2.1 right? You can use the 'email' app to sync up with your exchange server. I don't think it will sync notes, but it can sync up contacts, email, and appointments.
You could also try touchdown from the market. http://www.appbrain.com/app/exchange-for-android-2-x/com.nitrodesk.droid20.nitroid
It costs $20 after the trial, but works really well and will sync up everything you're looking for.

Thanks for the replies so far.
I don't want to sync with gmail, as sometimes I work offline, therefore need sync directly with Outlook. Also don't use Exchange, this is standard alone Outlook.
I've read HTC have a similar tool (HTC Sync ?) for Active Sync. Will this work on a San Francisco, which runs Android 2.1?

You need to downoal the program MyPhoneExplorer and connect your phone to USB, then follow the instuctions. To my mind this is the best free soft avaliable out there.

[Q] 'webcal://' agenda problems.

I want to share my calendar from Outlook to automatically OTA sync to my htc DS.
With my iPhone, this wasn't a problem, but nowhere in the calendar application, or the accounts and synchronisation tab in settings to be found.
Does anyone know anything about this?

If you're coming from MS Outlook there are two extremely useful tools made by Google to get you started:
1) Google App Migration for MS Outlook http://tools.google.com/dlpage/outlookmigration
Which will migrate your MS Outlook contacts/calendar and emails to your new google account.
2) Google calendar sync http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=89955
Which will enable you to continue to sync your MS Outlook and google calendars should you choose, or can simply be used to migrate your MS Outlook calendar to google calendar. It performs three types of sync (2-way, 1-way : Google to outlook and 1-way Outlook to Google (great for the initial migration)) so you can continue to use both calendars if you wish.
There are dozens of ways to do this and many third party, I'm sure that everyone has a way thats suits them that they'll recommend, this is mine.
Basically you sync your OUTLOOK with Google using Google calendar sync and then Sync your phone to Google.

how to sync Outlook tasks with Android phones?

Does anyone know how to sync outlook tasks with Android phones? I tried Gogtasks but that program is as buggy as hell when it comes to reoccurring tasks.
Does WP7 have better synchronisation with Outlook for appointments and tasks?

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.basiliapps.tasks is doing a good job.

but I don't have an exchange account, I just use Outlook and hotmail.

I use Google calender sync http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=89955

Sense4's biggest plus is complete Outlook sync including but not limited to tasks ! I love it & the productivity skin is just amazing.

I'd love to hear about this too... I used to be a proud BB owner/user and loved how easy it was to sync everything with outlook....
It's so hard to believe that nobody wrote an app yet to do just that... if you go on google play/market you can find an app for just about anything.. even for stuff i would have never even in my wildest dream would ever imagined... but no outlook notes/tasks (OTA)... weird!!
I bet that if you search for "scratch my itch" app you'd even find that

There are many free or paid apps in Google play for synchronizing directly with Outlook.
Search for Outlook sync in Google Play.
You can try e.g. my app Local Sync which synchronizes tasks (recurrent too) and notes.

Use Tasks & Notes for MS Exchange, it is free and works fine for me.
You can find this in Google Play.

Hi, i think you can use MyPhoneExplorer

bye.

Is there any workaround for syncing Outlook tasks with Android over the air that still works?
