I currently use a Windows Mobile 6.5 device, and I love the SMS integration with Active Sync in combination with Exchange 2010 (new SMS will appear in the inbox, and it ist possible to write SMS in Outlook with "new item" -> "text message" - this text messages will then be synched back via AS to the device, and the device sends it).
until yesterday I thought that Windows Mobile 6.5 is the only mobile OS witch supports this function (even Windows Phone 7 doesn't support SMS integration!), but: a colleague of me flashed a new ROM (Darky 10.2.2 -> Gingerbread 2.3.4) on his Galaxy S yesterday, and: SMS-AS integration in combination with Exchange 2010 is now working with his device!!! - the first time I've seen that with an other mobile OS than Windows Mobile 6.5!
the reason for the thread here: I'm very interested in the HTC Sensation, and I think about to get one, but: SMS integration with Active Sync is important for me, so is it working with the sensation? Is this a feature of Gingerbread, or does the Galaxy have a "special messaging client" with SMS support? Has anyone seen a Sensation with working AS-SMS integration? If yes: which ROM is needed, or which "hack" is needed?

as I can see in the manual this product doesn't use Microsoft Active Sync (AS) over the air! So that's not a solution for me! AS itself does support SMS-Syncing over the air, my question is which requirements on an Android phone are necessary for SMS Syncing, and if the Sensation has all the reqirements, or how it is possible to get SMS-Syncing with the Sensation working? As I mentioned: Samsungs Galaxy S in combination with Darkys ROM does the job!
some screenshot how SMS integration looks like...
... just to be sure that it is clear what I'm speaking about!
Touchdown for Excahnge does it... sort of
Touchdown for Exchange has a checkbox "Enable SMS Sync" in settings. I use Exchange 2010, and when I activated this setting on my phone, I receive an email from the Exchagne Server:
Congratulations! After connecting your mobile device to Exchange Server 2010, you can now send text messages from Outlook 2010 and Outlook Web App on your computer. You can also receive and reply to text messages.
To start sending text messages from your computer, close and reopen Outlook 2010 or Outlook Web App.
Now you've got one more way to communicate with friends, family, and colleagues. To find out more about using Text Messaging from your Inbox, click here.
Note: If you previously set up text message notifications in Outlook Web App, they've been turned off because the Exchange ActiveSync access you set up on your phone will keep you up to date.

Now I can SEND SMS from Outlook, but I have not been able to receive on my Desktop/Outlook. For that I use Desktop Notifier or Mighty Text.
You answered to a one year old thread .
Anyway, I have a question. Can you confirm that you could't activate SMS sync without Touchdown?

Hello Everyone,
I have a T-Mobile USA SDA and had a problem with emails on the device.
Not sure if it is working as designed or if there was a blug, so I thought I would float it by you guys.
Setup:
Mail client on T-Mobile USA SDA
Configured manually to check pop and send smtp with my gmail account. It is set such that the message headers are downloaded first.
I connect WIFI and send/recieve
I receive a header I had sent myself for testing
I click on it and select to download the message body.
I go back to the inbox.
I do send and receive.
I receive the message body.
I read it.
I go back to the inbox.
I do send and recieve.
Result:
The message is removed without a trace. it is not put into deleted items folder, nor does it remain in the inbox folder.
Is this expected behavior? I am not allowed to store mail on my device? Is there a registry setting to change this behavior? There is no options within the application. Is there a registry setting to change wheremails are stored in general? thanks for seeing the barrage of questions!
Yes I got the same result with you. Mine is a Dopod 577w (Tornado in Taiwan). This behaviour also happens to other mail servers.
ni hao,
I had searched a bit about it and found some places explain it. The explanation sounds weak, but it looks like something we will have to live with until either gmail or ms changes their server or client software.

The problem is with the default behaviour of Gmail - it will "hide" all the
already-downloaded mail. Unfortunately, it seems not even now that the beta
phase is long over can you effectively override this behaviour - the POP3
radio buttons just don't stick in the Settings window.
Therefore, the best solution IMHO is switching to an alternative e-mail
client that doesn't remove the messages that are not available online any
more from the local view. The alternative mailer clients FlexMail and Qmail
are like so - see the row "Does it only display mail that is still on the
server? " in the comparison chart of my mailer client roundup at
http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=569&more=1 . Of the two,
FlexMail offers scheduling capabilities.
PocketPC MAG:
Does it only display mail that is still on the server? : one of the most-criticized problems with Messaging is that it does not show older messages (messages that have been deleted in the meantime) in the Inbox unless you explicitly (mass-)move them to a separate folder. As can be seen, it's, in addition to Messaging, only nPOPw that deletes the messages from the local view that don't exist on the server any more. The other mailer applications don't.
I might just write a pop/smtp client software myself. Much easier to tweak it to do what I need it to do, and in my previous job I worked for an email client so I know those protocols well. I probably won't add advanced functionality or IMAP/Exchange, because I have no individual use for those.
Very Useful info.
My current solution to this issue is Outlook & ActiveSync. Just download your mail to PC and sync. Mail in mobile Outlook account will not disappear unless you delete them.
By the way, I think Gmail mobile website is also okay for mail browsing & composing.
(it is not a good experience posting reply here using Pocket IE)
I'd like to write a mail client using .NET CF just for fun if I have time. I'm not a C++ guy.
Hi all,
OK - here's a good one for you...
Customer has a HTC TYTN II running WM6. This is connected to an Exchange server via ActiveSync.
The customer has Outlook rules setup so when a message arrives, it goes to a particular folder. The customer then looks at the new email via the Unread Messages folder feature.
The problem is (as described above) all the messages never get to the Inbox, so when he looks at his Inbox on his WM6 mobile, there are no messages becuase they have all gone to various folders.
Is there anything / add on to WM6 which will give the customer access to the unread emails via a simple Unread Mails folder on the mobile?
Cheers
Lee
When you are setting up the exchange on your phone you get to decide what folders you want to sync.
Hi
While my HD2 is away for repair i am stuck with a Nokia 2760 loan fone. Believe it or not the nokia has a feature I would LOVE to have on my HD2.
The nokia PC suite connects to the phone using Bluetooth and alerts you to new text messages etc. It then allows you to view the message and even reply.
Is there any program that can do this for the HD2?
Apologies if this has been asked before
Take a look here :
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/outreach/dnloads/smsSender.mspx
though I think it's only for sending SMS outbound
I use the Jeyo Mobil Extender ! www.jeyo.com
So, I can see my SMS Messages in Outlook, get Notify in Outlook if a new SMS there and can send SMS Messages with outlook.
Thought I'd try that MS one but just found after installing that it doesn't work in vista. Bah!
try this

you could try panda pc suite , its quite useful for just about anything including showing incoming calls/ sms chat etc
Hi all,
I did a Google, but could only see a few results for Android as a business phone.
We're due for an upgrade very soon and I'm just wondering if Android will be any good for business use, or is it's going to cause issues with how we work?
Current use of Windows mobile:
Active Sync (no Exchange) with Outlook Calendar, Contacts and tasks, I don;t sync email because I often want my pc outlook open and running when not in the office, but still want to receive and send email via same account.
Email via Pop3 (same as work PC, Emails kept on phone for 3 days)
Ideally I would like android to do all the same with native apps, rather than having to purchase one to get the same functionality as WM 6.5.
Can anyone who has experience going from WM to Android when using a similar setup post comments on how it went and if it works OK?
Many thanks

Android phones with google automatically syncs with your calendar and contacts via gmail account to my knowledge. I mean...I've went through 3 phones and all of them automatically got my contacts from my gmail account.
If you wanted to best sync for your desktop outlook to your mobile device then Windows mobile is the best that you can get. Since my knowledge Android doesnt sync with Outlook Task and Notes
On Windows Mobile, MS Exchange and ActiveSync sync your text messages along with your emails. You are able to text straight from Outlook. New text messages arrive in your email inbox.
I have a 2.2 rom installed which I have been playing with and exchange is working well. Unfortunately it's clear there's no option to sync SMS.
I use this with Outlook Web Access at work as phones have to be kept outside of the room. I cannot install any apps on the PC. I hate to be keeping Windows Mobile for this feature.
Anything I can do?
Thanks.
Android 2.3?
oops... 2.2 new to android... sorry
