Outlook on Mobile

hi guys, this seems to be some strange problem to me. I configured my office mail to Outlook on mobile. Now when i delete any message it gets deleted from the mail server as well. I thought that my VOX will maintain its own local copy and i can delete the mail to save some space on my cell. Can u tell me how to keep messages in a location that when i delete them the original message on server remains intact.
By the way same happens with my Gmail account too..
Thanks
Loku
PS: all cheers to Dr. G for his great work....

For gmail it goes like this on WM 6.1:
Go into gmail folder -> Menu -> Tools -> Options -> Account Settings -> Send/Recive Schedule -> Advanced Settings
There you have option to Keep deleted messages on server.
Don't know how to do it for outlook but it should be similar.

Sync'ing Sent Items via IMAP4 causes disappearance of sent item

Hi,
I have a Treo 800w Windows Mobile 6.1 device that I am currently synchronizing via Exchange ActiveSync with an Exchange Server 2007 email account. I just recently needed to be able to also get email from an Exchange Server 2003 SP2 email account, so I set it up to access that account via IMAP4. It is set to pull email from the server every 30 minutes, and right now it set to download the most recent 7 days worth of email (although I'll probably change this to 30 days). I also need to be able to see my sent items, so I configured the account to also download my sent items (via "Menu" -> "Tools" -> "Manage Folders"). However, I'm having a real issue (which others have also experienced, see: http://forums.microsoft.com/WindowsMobile/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3355528&SiteID=65) in that whenever I now send an email from this account, it shows up briefly in the Sent Items folder on my device, and then disappears. Further, when checking the actual Exchange mailbox (via OWA), it doesn't show up there either. It seems to disappear permanently. If I disable synchronization of the Sent Items folder and then send another email from this account, it obviously doesn't show up on my device, but now does show up in the Sent Items folder of the mailbox. This is a real issue, and I'm hoping someone can offer some advice.
P.S. I do have the "Keep copies of sent items in Sent folder" option checked in the "Message" tab when you go to "Menu" -> "Tools" -> "Options"
Any help or information is greatly appreciated! I'm wondering if this is a bug that we need to bring to the attention of Microsoft (and how does one go about doing that if it turns out to actually be a bug?).

Removing Messenger contacts from Contacts/All People Tab

Ok so I've been doing a lot of searching but can’t seem to find the answer.
When I set up Windows Live I accidently said yes to having my contacts list in my phone's contact list.
I didn't want this so I was going through the list manually and deleting them one by one. Little did I know I was also deleting them from my MSN My fault, I know, I'm an idiot! I have had the phone for about a month now and had it set so the MSN contacts were not in the contacts list. I flashed a new ROM and that was why I had to set it up again s I didn't realize that deleting these would have any effect on anything else.
So now I'm trying to remove the MSN contacts from the phone contacts but I can't seem to work out how. In the Windows Live "Options" I can see under #2 Sync options, there is an option to "Store Windows Live contacts in your mobile phones contact list" but I'm not able to select it to change the settings.
Anyone able to assist? I'm sure it's something simple that I’ve missed but I can't seem to work it out
Thanks in advance..

Delete your hotmail account from the phone. Go back and set up hotmail again and this time do not check "add my hotmail contacts to my adress book" option. It will not say it exactly like that but you will know what i am talking about. I had to hard reset mine to get rid of 100s of email adresses in my phone contact book. Little did i know

if you find that windows live mobile wont let you remove email contacts from your phone contacts list because the check box is greyed out, and you cant seem to delete your email account from your phone, go to windows live > menu > account options > switch windows live ID > Yes
now just re-setup with the same hotmail account details and dont check-the contacts sync boxes this time. Worked for me. so happy now.

Thanks man, I ended up working it out. I just cleared the Windows Live account and started over again. Something I should have realized to do before posting

Thanks for a tip, it helps me a lot
No need to re-install it again ​

[APP] Syncroid - Outlook to Android calendar sync [update 12 March 2011]

Description:
Synchronizes your Outlook client calendar with your Android calendar.
Motivation:
I needed to synchronize my Outlook with Android. There are many reasons to do so instead of using exchange synchronization. You might use Outlook without Exchange or work in a corporate environment, which does not allow you to access Exchange directly. Android does not provide such an option.
Syncroid is my solution. It only synchronizes meetings (appointments) and only from PC to Android, but it can be extended to do both direction synchronization and synchronize contacts. I'm at the point when this application works fine for me, but if you find it useful you can dictate its future, features and implementation priorities. This version is free. Since it already took lots of my free time, at some point I'll probably split it to paid and lite versions. This will happen if development becomes more complex and only when I feel application is stable enough to be commercial.
It's up to you. Give it a try. It is work in progress expect bugs! Report problems and I'll do my best to fix them. Give ideas for future features and feature implementation priorities or just tell me how good or bad you feel about it.
Installation:
Install Syncroid on your Android device and run it. Minimal Android version to run is 2.0.
Export your calendar data. This needs to be done at least once! It is currently not used because Android to Outlook synchronization is not supported yet.
Mount your Android device as a drive to Windows.
Install "syncroid_setup.exe" from "syncroid" folder of your Android drive and run the program. Installer and installed executable are code signed by me.
You could use one or more of the three ways to synchronize. Via remote server (recommended), via adb or via Android drive.
Steps to synchronize via remote server:
Make sure you've selected Server -> "Use server" from PC program's preferences
Open Syncroid on your Android device and go to "Connect to remote server"
Select connect to remote server
Set your host name or IP. You could set several hosts/IPs delimited by space!
Set connection mode and if needed "Check regularly" settings
You could synchronize manually or just test you settings by selecting "Connect now". Please note that you might have firewall or proxy settings you'll need to apply.
The first time you connect you will be asked to allow/deny synchronization with this device.
Steps to synchronize via adb:
Make sure you've selected Server -> "Use adb interface" from PC program's preferences
You need to switch on USB debugging on your Android device in Settings -> Applications -> Development.
Sync starts as soon as you connect your phone with an USB cable. Importing of new data also happens automatically. Please note that unlike disk drive mode, you'll probably be asked to provide vendor specific USB drivers for your phone in order for this mode to work.
The first time you connect you will be asked to allow/deny synchronization with this device.
Steps to synchronize via Android drive:
Make sure you've selected Server -> "Use Android drive interface" from PC program's preferences
Mount your Android device as a drive to Windows.
Send data to your Android device by double clicking on the "Syncroid" icon in Windows tray notification area. This is done automatically every several minutes if Auto synchronize option is checked.
Dismount your Android drive from Windows.
Import data from your Android program. This is done automatically when you dismount Android drive if Auto synchronize option of the Android program is checked.
Reporting problems:
If program crashes it could send me automated reports. Since 9th of October Syncroid supports verbose logging. You can send me a private message with the content of the log file which can be found on your Windows drive in "\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Syncroid\Syncroid.log" if you are using Vista or newer Windows or in "\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Syncroid\Syncroid.log" if you are using Windows XP. Please do not paste the content in the forum in order to keep it clean.
Known problems and limitations:
Currently it is assumed that the time zone of your device is the same as the time zone of your PC. I don't know is this going to be a problem and do we need a better solution. Will count on users' voice on this
TODO:
Add two way sync
Contacts sync
Tasks sync
(The rest of this list and its order are up to you)

Current release notes:
I've finally found a way to make our calendars full class citizens. There are no "hacks" anymore and Google synchronization will not destroy them. However keep in mind, that from now on, uninstalling means removing your Syncroid calendars from Android calendar. The best way to ensure this doesn't happen is to update Syncroid (instead of uninstalling it and installing the new version). From PC this can be done with adb command like 'adb install -r Syncroid.apk'. There should be similar (visual) tool on Android, but I don't know one. If you know please notify me. In case you uninstall Syncroid and install the new version remember that database is lost, but your SD card contains the last imported data. Just install the new version and press "Import now" in Syncroid's main window. Please note that after you sync with version 1.5 you could have duplicate information in two calendars. One with Google calendar events and second with Syncroid calendar events. You can use the new "Manage calendars" to delete the calendar created by Syncroid under your Google account. You can also disable the calendar from Android calendar "Calendars" menu if you are using Android 2.2 and up.

This program is excellent. I use the Lenovo LePhone and this program is the only program which I can use to sync my calendar.
Only problem is that after the first sync subsequent syncs didn't update my calendar and after installing the program again (hoping to rectify the problem that way), everytime I try to sync the desktop client with the Android the desktop sync crashes and closes by itself. Would be great if you could help with this!

I'll add some logging and probably crash reporting. Stay tuned Meanwhile please check the following. After update you should have two files "android.zip" and "pc.zip" inside your "syncroid" directory on the mounted Android drive. Try deleting pc.zip, sync and check is it there after sync (even if PC program crashes).

I have tried updating but the desktop client crashes. After the crash i checked the Syncroid directory and there is only the android.zip file. no pc.zip.

I've uploaded an updated version. Please check "Reporting problems" section of the initial post. After you install the updated version and start it, it needs some time to extract PC part. You know it is OK when you later mount your Android as drive and Sync asks you to update. After the update, sync again and the .log file should appear.

Thanks for sharing!

Need ToDo synchro.

I have a client crash in Windows Vista. Is crash in 2 or 3 seconds after start.
Is the Company PC maybe have more security
This is the Log

An option to sync contacts also would make this app perfect and irreplaceable !

A question about it .... Is possible to run the app with another calendar application?
I use Jorte instead Android Calendar ...
Thanks in Advance

I've checked Jorte application. In Google calendar mode it has no problem if you select Syncroid calendar. In Jorte mode it uses it's own database I know nothing about. However it supports .CSV import. Maybe this is a way to go, but it will require manual import from Jorte app. The right way is to talk to Jorte for some way to access the database or at least trigger a .CSV import automatically. How do you use it?

I'll have to add some crash reporting. Otherwise there is no way to understand what's going wrong. Stay tuned for the next version!

After you install Syncroid on your Android device and start it. Give it a minute to extract the setup. Then mount your Android device as drive in Windows and syncroid_setup.exe should be in \syncroid folder there.

Thank you very much! I found it and I installed in the pc.
Now I have problems to connect the device (HTC Aria) to my pc; the error message is "cannot find Android device drive attached".

HTC Sync won't sync People/Calendar?

The "On" buttons for syncing those two categories are greyed out.
I really would like to be able to sync my contacts to PC so I can edit them easier, since lots of duplicates show up in the Messaging contacts menu.
Any idea what I can do?

I have the exact same problem. Did you ever find a solution?

Have you downloaded and installed HTC Sync software on your PC.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/inspire-att/downloads/
I assume you aren't using a Google account for your contacts, the Sense contact database will use the HTC Sync software and want to hook into Outlook (or something else) on the PC. However, with a Google account, you can sync your contacts to the cloud and view them in GMail on the pc and edit there.

HTC Sync is installed on my home computer and at work. I'm trying to sync my phone with Outlook 2007. I'm not worried about my contacts so much as I would like to sync with my calendar in outlook, so any meetings I have on my computer at work, will show up on my phone.

I was able to use HTC Sync with the Inspire to load Contacts with no problem. I did not do the calendar, since I sync that with Goolge. Google contacts cannot deal with all the contact notes I have in Outlook.
Be sure to get the latest HTC Sync.
Phil

You have to run HTC sync as an administrator in Win7.

I can do that at home, but at work I have XP and it doesn't work there either.

After having the same problem with calender button being greyed out in HTC SYNC 3 i might have found another solution to fix this.
My HTC Sync 3 (and previous versions) used to sync everything i wanted but after a system restore to an earlier date 2 months ago it stopped syncing the calender items from outlook 2003. Yes i've only just noticed that it's not been syncing!!
1/ I tried going back to earlier versions of htc sync but that didn't work.
2/ I tried running HTC Sync as administrator but that didn't work.
3/ I installed a fresh copy of HTC Sync (all versions) with msconfig items modified and that didn't work.
4/ I removed all traces of HTC Sync and installed MyPhoneExplorer and that didn't work as well......that then led me to believe that the problem couldn't be with my HTC Sync.
5/ What fixed it for me was a detect and repair in MS office 2003 (through add and remove programs) and also i did a detect & repair in outlook 2003 itself as well. You might need the office install disc as it needed some cab files during the repair.
I then installed HTC Sync 3 ver 5511 again and the calender button is now back and selectable again....Hey presto.
I can only assume the windows restore featire to an earlier time might have thrown a spanner in the works.
