[Q] Problem Synchronisation WP7 <-> Outlook via Hotmail Connector - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
as the topics says I have a problem to synchronize my HTC Mozart (WindowsPhone) with MS Outlook 2003. I use Windows Vista 32bit.
I downloaded the hotmail-connector from microsoft, installed it and set it up. But as soon as I click on the new installed live-folder in my Outlook I get an error message which says: "Unable to display the folder. Microsoft Office Outlook could not access the specified folder location."

Do you have any idea, what could cause this problem?
Thanks and greetings from Germany

This thread might present the solution for my problem.
It seems that you must default you hotmail account in outlook, then close and reopen outlook, inorder to use outlook connector.

I'll report later if it worked.
Of course I would be pleased about a better solution then setting the hotmail account to default.

To let you know: It worked.

Support Code:85010014

I have a WM5 Device trying to sync with outlook and am getting this Support Code:85010014 when I select the view status link in Activesync (v4).
AS4 allows me to sync favorites and notes, but not contacts, calendar, email, and tasks. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
I solved my ActiveSync problem with Error 85010014.
I also run Eudora and Incredimail Plugin for Outlook on both PCs, Work and Home. Both are on XP Pro SP2 and when I installed ActiveSync 4.1 on my work PC without issue, I decided to attack my Home PC Outlook installation to see if I could resolve the issue.
So, At home:
Putting Outlook in Offline mode did not solve the problem.
I uninstalled ActiveSync 4.0 and installed ActiveSync 4.1 - No difference.
I backed up Outlook via 3rd party program to grab account settings as well as my 2GB pst file then ran Help->Detect and Repair... - reboot, no difference.
I then ran Control Panel -> Add or remove Programs -> Office 2003 and chose to modify my installation by adding or removing components. I unchecked Outlook and updated it to remove Outlook from my Office 2003 suite. Then returned to this option and re-checked Outlook to add it back to my Office 2003 Suite, CD-Rom in hand but updating, it did not ask for the Office 2003 Install CD-Rom... - Rebooted and connected - Bingo NO 85010014 error!
Before you re-install..
Are you using Outlook 2003 in "Offline" mode? If so, try running Activesync while CONNECTED to your Exchange server... This worked for myself and possibly a few others here.
Good luck! Hopefully you won't have to re-install Outlook which seems to be the ultimate fix.
Just checked the original post date... hope the original poster fixed the issue.

No, I don't use exchange. I realy hate outlook compared to Eudora for my needs. Mail accounts are on standard Unix POP/SMTP Servers. Outlook is forced due to contacts integration on PDAs.
Windows Mobile 5 Support Code: 85010014
I solved the same problem in a different way - On ActiveSync in the File menu there is an option to Delete Mobile Device. I picked that, deleted the device and then re-established the partnership between the mobile device and the PC. Sync started working perfectly right away.

Hi,
I have the same problem too. I just updated to ROM1.60c and ActiveSync 4.1 build 4807. When I try to sync, tt keeps giving me the error code 85010014.
The funny thing is, I have no problems syncing Notes from Outlook. But the other Outlook items like Contacts, Calendar and Tasks are not so lucky.
What's happening? I've already allowed the exceptions in my Windows Firewall...
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I had the same 85010014 problem when syncing on my BA. Typically I "Work Offline" with Outlook, since I'm on the road a lot.
The fix was to make sure I was connected to my Exchange Server the first time I sync-ed my PDA. In my case, I had to connect to my office through VPN and choose "Connect" when prompted after launching Outlook.
Hope this helps!
Hey kcchen,
Thanks once again! I replied in the other post already, but just wanna thank u again.
Cheers!

Similar problem here guys but I don't sync with an exchange server, just the local PC, everything else seems to work fine but when I try to install TT5 the install pukes and wants to send an error report to MS
Help!
It is the same problem to me (only have Local PC). Could some one give more advice.
I solved my ActiveSync problem with Error 85010014.
I also run Eudora and Incredimail Plugin for Outlook on both PCs, Work and Home. Both are on XP Pro SP2 and when I installed ActiveSync 4.1 on my work PC without issue, I decided to attack my Home PC Outlook installation to see if I could resolve the issue.
I installed ActiveSync 4.1 on my Work PC - XP Pro SP2 with Office 2003, Eudora and Incredimail Outlook Plugin. No Problem with ActiveSync there.
So, At home:
Putting Outlook in Offline mode did not solve the problem.
I uninstalled ActiveSync 4.0 and installed ActiveSync 4.1 - No difference.

Activesync 4.1 errors

Hi,
I just updated to ROM1.60c and ActiveSync 4.1 build 4807. When I try to sync, Activesync keeps giving me the error code 85010014.
The funny thing is, there's no problem syncing Notes from Outlook. But the other Outlook items such as Contacts, Calendar and Tasks are unable to sync.
What's happening? Does anyone else have the same problem? Why Notes is ok, but not the rest?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Had the same problem after upgrading to WM5. If you use offline folders, make sure Outlook is connected to your Exchange Server, they try to sync your PDA. It takes a little while to sync Contacts and Calendar the first time, but afterwards you can "Work Offline" and sync everything successfully.
If it doesn't work, I would start with a new partnership.... delete previous computer partnerships from AS on your PDA and also delete PDA Partnership in AS on your PC.
There's also a few other posts here that refer to performing a "Repair" of the Outlook 2003 installation and another that says to uninstall and re-install Office 2003 all together. I tried the "Repair" (in Help Menu of Outlook) and it didn't work... I wasn't about to re-install my Office.... Luckily I found my solution through further digging on the Internet.
Good luck! Let us know the results.

Hi kcchen,
It works! What happened was that I had installed AS 4.1 at home over the weekend. On Monday I came to office, sync and suddenly it works! Never knew that it was becoz of Exchange...
Thanks for the great help. Next, to solve the problem with insufficient ROM...too much for programs, not enough for storage.
Thanks again buddy
Glad it worked for you! I was pretty frustrated with the error also...
where do you get ActiveSync 4.1
mine is ActiveSync 4.00.4343
can you give me the link for ActiveSync 4.1
thx
search goes a long way

Cannot Sync with outlook

I was till recently able to sync Imate jasjar with Microsoft office outlook 2007. When one day my ''Microsoft office outlook 2007'' developed an error with some file. After I moved that file I have not been able to sync with outlook at all. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling outlook that did not work, so uninstalled full office 2007 and reinstalled that did not work either. Recently my phone crashed hence had to do a hard reset and lost all my data.
I was wondering if someone could help me. The error given my active sync is '' Active sync encountered a problem on the desktop Support code 86000107''. The active sync runs and synchronises files but not contacts nor any calendar enteries. I can explore my Imate jasjar with the sync programme but cannot sync with outlook express.
Please help.
Regards

SOLVED. How to sync contacts from your Nokia phone to your HTC Windows Mobile phone?

Hello,
I had a Nokia 6620 and I synced all the contacts with my laptop running Vista through Nokia PC Suite. I have a folder named "Contacts" in Vista now, which is also linked to the Windows Live Mail. Windows Live Mail is supposed to be the updated version of Outlook Express. When I opened Windows Mobile Device Center to sync all the contacts and calendar items to my HTC Fuze, the options to sync my contacts and calendar are disabled. Am I doing something wrong here? How do I sync all the data, which was stored on my Vista system by Nokia PC Suite, with my HTC Fuze, without opening a Windows account? Is there any other application I can use for this, other than Windows Mobile Device Center?
Thanks,
Keith
I am really stuck with all my contacts in Windows "Contacts" folder and not being able to sync them with my HTC Fuze. I would really appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction or help me out. Thanks.
Now I could be way off here so apologies if that is the case. I think WMDC only deals with Outlook (not Outlook Express). If that is the case then try importing your contacts into Outlook and then re-setting up your sync settings. That might help.
Another thing to consider is to go into Activesync on your device and then options. Look at what it thinks it is syncing. If contacts are already set to sync with something, then uncheck this and run the WMDC connections wizard again. You may find that this time you can select the contacts folder this time.
As I said, I could be way off as I am not a computer guru by any stretch of the imagination. All the best.
Sorry, 1 more thought. You may want to try and uninstal Nokia PC suite-it could be that WMDC sees the contacts being synced with Nokia PC suite and thus wont allow it to sync with your HTC. If you do unistall just remember to back up your contacts etc otherwise you could end up loosing them all. Not good me thinks!
Nokia Suite maintains its own database which is independent of Outlook's. Both can reside on the PC without conflict, however, the OP needs to have the data (Contatcs/Tasks/Notes/Cal, etc) in Outlook to sync to WM devices.
@incisivekeith
Easiest way to deal with this is:
Export out of the PC Suite to csv format (comma separated)
Import into Outlook
Sync with addressbook in outlook (combine records)
Sync with phone using active sync
Thank you everyone for your responses, but I have been struggling with another major issue here now. As I mentioned in my earlier post, I was not able to select contacts and other data in Windows MObile Device Center, so I unstalled WMDC as well as the device driver update. I restarted my system and when I installed both the WMDC driver update and WMDC istself, my system doesn't recognize my Fuze anymore. Not only that, I don't have many options in WMDC now, and, the WMDC window doesn't open most of the times. I have tried uninstalling both of them again, installing their versions from Microsoft's Web site, but to no avail. So now, I have the following problems:
1. I don't have functioning WMDC
2. When I connect my Fuze, it is not recognized, although the system makes a sound that there is something connected on the USB port
3. Vista has Windows Mail, not Outlook or Outlook Express
In response to suggestions about Activesync, I just learned that Activesync is installable only on XP, not Vista. I have been struggling with these issues since today morning. This shouldn't be this difficult, after all.
I will try connecting my Nokia 6620 to my system and try to export the contacts to csv format. When I opened Nokia PC Suite without connecting my Nokia phone, the contacts list showed empty on the Suite, maybe because it doesn't store them on the system, and pulls them out only from the phone? I will find that out too.
If someone can, please let me know how to unistall WMDC properly and reinstall it so that it functions the way it did the first time. Are there any other free software to accomplish this? All the help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Connect Fuze to WMDC
Start - Settings - Connections - USB to PC
If the "Enable adv..." is checked, uncheck or vice versa

Thanks, that somehow helped, I am not sure how, but it did. When I cheched that option off, it again recognized my Fuze as a new device and installed the driver and WMDC, which works fine now, but still doesn't allow me to select contacts, calendar items, etc.
I followed a method here: http://manish.wordpress.com/2008/11/14/importing-contacts-to-windows-mobile-without-ms-outlook/
That method imported all data, with all contacts named "Unknown" and missing the details (phone numbers, address, etc.) of most of the contacts. So, I installed Outlook 2007 and tried to import the csv file in Outlook, but it gave me an error saying its translator was not able to read the csv file (the clipping of the error is attached). I have the following questions now:
1. How do I overcome the importing error
2. How do I sync contacts from Nokia phone directly into Outlook instead of Windows Mail, so that I can have the contacts in Outlook and then, I can just sync Outlook and Fuze.
3. Or, is there a way to have the contacts synced between Windows Mail and Outlook?
Again, thanks for all the help.
@incisivekeith
Haven't had a Nokia for some time but AFAIK the latest PhoneSuite allows you a full sync with outlook.
CSV can be tricky because it may fail at custom fields. Check the CSV file using Excel if you have all headers.
Worst case - take a deep breath and read what google has to say ...

OP, do you have OL installed? Otherwise, get OL and setup your Nokia PC Suite to sync with OL, then you can bring your contact & calendar from the Nokia into OL, then sync to your WM device thereafter. If you are not going to have OL soon, then dump your Nokia contacts onto the SIM and drop the SIM into the WM, but you still need to find a way to "scrub" the data.
Almost the same reply but putting the contacts on the SIM usually truncates add info like long names and multi phone entries. Through outlook would be the best and easiest way IMO.

Agreed, hence the "scrub" I threw that in b/c it appears the OP doesn't have OL readily available.
PHEW , finally!! It took me the whole day to just figure this out, and now I am thinking why I didn't think about this earlier. But I know why, probably because I didn't want to install Outlook just for the purpose of syncing. Anyway, tyguy, you were right that there should be/was a provision in Nokia PC Suite to sync that contacts with Outlook. I had checked all the settings, but I was checking the settings with Windows Mail chosen, I could find that I could choose Outlook only when I decided to create new settings. I synced Nokia phone to Outlook and then Outlook to my Fuze. Almost all the contacts and calendar items are as they are on my Nokia phone, so I am extremely happy. Some of the contacts, very few, are missing the phone numbers, but I can do that manually for that less a number of contacts. Thank you everyone for helping me out. I really appreciate it.
I remember I had to do a lot of work to solve this, and now I want my E90 back, cause all issues of this bad phone. It is not "safe": does not always ring the alarm, appointments gestion is very very bad, contacts sucks.
I have now the trial version of outlook, now it is over on 31/01 and I have no idea hot to do. I can' t syncronize anymore cause I will not pay for Outlook.
The reality is: wm sucks, i' m waiting for android.
PS: I saved contacts then copied one by one in outlook.
(forgive my english)
