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?

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.

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.
Jörg
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.
Before I got my WinMo phone I had all my email accounts in outlook, along with my contacts and calendar. I consolidated all of my email accounts into my gmail account. Imported all of my contacts and calendar entries.
I downloaded my emails to my phone through an IMAP connection, I sync my calendar entries between the phone and gmail. Is there a way I can sync my contacts from my phone to gmail without going through outlook on my computer?
I want to eliminate the middle man (my computer) in all the syncing so all of my stuff is available through my phone or gmail so that way if i'm at a friends and don't have my phone or computer I can still access information if need be.
With the contacts, in case its not clear enough, I synced all my contacts from outlook to my phone when I got it. I then imported all of my contacts from outlook into gmail. Now I get a call on my phone and then add that number as a new contact. How do I sync that new number into gmail without going through outlook?
http://www.google.dk/search?source=...ontacts+pocketpc&btnG=Google-søgning&meta=lr=
tried looking here?
I was searching syncing gmail contacts windows mobile instead of pocketpc and gsync wasn't coming up on my search. Ill have to give it a try later. OGG Sync says it does contacts but the only thing I can find on it is calendar.
Thanks for the help
Gsync doesn't sync contacts from the phone to google. Somebody has to be doing this?
Try nuevasync.com
plexo.com + rememberthemilk.com + mesh.com = complete outlook replacement
Is paid service ($50/yr) but is by far the best I've ever used. Will sync your contacts and calendar with device/outlook/google/yahoo etc. I also use rememberthemilk to sync taks online, and Live Mesh for files and photos. Using Linux as a main OS forces you to find all the best-of-breed non-MS solutions, it's entirely possible to ditch outlook and still have 100% functionality replaced with online cloud services.
I have searched for this in the last 2 hours and still cannot find a solution
this is my setup:
I sync my HTC Diamond to my Work and Home PC's via ActiveSync. I have also synced my phone to my mail2web account.
I now want to sync my Outlook Express on both PC's to my mail2web account so that any changes I make to Contacts, Calendar or Notes will be automatically synced no matter where I am. (not interested in syncing emails as I have a mailboxes setup on my phone which im fine with).
I have looked at various things like synchronica, funambol, etc. I have tried adding the mail2web account to my Outlook but it does not work. Can anyone help me regarding this?
thanks
A bit late and I'm quite sure you already found out out to enable multiple PC synchronisation and one exchange sync.

How to sync Outlook contacts without Kies?I thought Nokia PC sync software was bad but Kies is the biggest piece of useless garbage.Active Sync looks great by comparison.
if you have gmail, try this: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=90284
sync with outlook
Does the captivate come with software for the computer? I am trying to plan ahead. I currently have a WM 6.1 Phone.
My Captivate didn't come with any software, I had to download Kies separately. Contacts seem to have synced fairly well but a bunch of my Outlook calendar appointments didn't sync but I haven't had the time to figure out if there is a common denominator between them.
The is my work account so I can't sync it to Google. I agree that Active Sync worked much better.

Many Outlook to Captivate sync solutions available
You originally asked what software was available besides Kies. There is a lot. You can go to www dot syncdroid dot net where you will find a chart of the software, what it syncs (such as calendar, contacts, notes, tasks, and email), whether it uses USB or wireless, the price (many free), and more. There is also an overview of each software item. Go forth and sync!
Get your outlook to sync with Gmail or Hotmail. And sync those accounts directly with your phone. Problem solved. Both gmail and hotmail allow calendar and contacts sync. Even when I was using WM phones, I never use ActiveSync to sync anything with my PC. Too much hassle and error prone (don't remember how many times I wiped all my contacts clean by accidentally deleted my activesync patenership).
I'm currently running the android calendar app, and am having a bear of a time getting the calendar to sync with my Outlook client.
For example, I've create an appt. on Outlook, and it successfully will sync to the Google Calendar, and move it over to my phone. When I create one from my phone, it does not sync up to my Outlook client. I've verified that I have two way sync on, yet nothing every makes it to Outlook.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
