Most of the entries in my contact list are personal contacts. I have added their emails in the contacts and can directly use these email addresses from any email client like K-9 or YahooMail.
However, I also have another email address book on my laptop for office clients/suppliers. Most of these are not in my contact list as I never need to call them. Is there any way that I can setup a separate email address book without adding to my contacts list?

Hi,
I noticed that the contacts in my HTC Touch don't sync with my outlook if no email address is present in the contact on the phone. As soon as I enter an email address into the contact, the contact will also appear on outlook.
The thing is I want to to sync ALL contacts, not just the ones with emails. I think it can be useful to have the phone numbers or street address in my outlook too even if I don't know (or don't use) the person's email address.
I understand outlook contacts is mainly to keep email addresses but I also use it as a general contacts books for street adddress, phone numbers, birthdays, etc...
What I'm doing now is enter a random email address like "[email protected]" in the contact to make sure it syncs but I'm pretty sure there's a better solution...
Thanks very much!
Remi
Can someone at least confirm me that the behavior is the same on every mobile phone?
Thanks!
no I've never heard about such behaviour before
non of my wm devices ever don anything of the sorts
tons of my contacts don't even have phone numbers or emails
this belongs in the Q&A section.
thank you
I have synchronized my private contacts with MS Outlook on PC. I have set up MS Exchange email account on WM device, so I can send and receive emails through Exchange Server. However, I can not send email to company employees that are not in my private contact list. There is a option to search in "company directory" but it always gives me "found zero contacts" ... Seems like it is not searching in the right place. Server settings must be fine, since I do get emails and can use Reply to sent emails. There must be something with enabling "company directory" functionality here...
I tried to go into ActiveSync Options and saw that under Microsoft Exchange section only Email is checked (calendar, contacts are not checked). Thought this must be correct setting as I do not want to copy companies global address list into my mobile device. I just want to lookup for a name on Exchange Server when needed. Anyway, I tried to click on Contact checkbox on ActiveSync Options and then it said that I have to uncheck Private Contact. Sounds reasonable as WM can not handle two contact directories.
So what can I do to be able to select name from "Company Directory"
Its simple, you must sync also contacts in AS... Without them Company Directory will not work.

Thank you for quick and clear reply
will it then copy global contact list from Exchange Server to my phone? It will be thousands of people, I do not want to have all of them among my contacts...
If this does not copy all global contact list to my WM device, is there any way to keep my personal contacts on the phone, which are synched with Outlook contacts on PC?

I think not. It provides search online on exchange server.
To your device is synced only your private address book from Outlook. From Outlook which is connected to Exchange - private address book is stored on exchange server and copy on local PC. If you syncing address book from outlook not connected to Exchange server, you lose these contacts...
I am looking for a Calender App that will sync with Gmail Calender. What I would like it to do specifically is allow me to add a pre-defined group of email addresses in the Guests column for the invite. Right now, I have to manually add each contact. And suggestions? I'm using Nexux S and the Cal. app on there won't allow me to add a contact with all of the contacts emails addresses(only puts one email address from the contact).
Not pretty sure, but I guess Business Calendar will do the job...

I have a new TF700 and easily got the stock email client to sync up with my corporate Microsoft Exchange Active Sync server. Only problem is when I attempt to forward an email it always ends up bundling up the forwarded part of the email - including any attachments - into a *.eml attachment that apparently only MS Outlook understands. On a desktop with outlook you get this message with an attached message, click it, open it and there is the forwarded part of the email and the attachments. But if you forward to someone not with Outlook - i.e. Gmail, Yahoo, a blackberry, etc. it comes in as a nonmame.eml attachment and when you click to open it's just a bunch of text. All other email functions work properly. IT guys say it's a device/OS problem but I don't see anything to modify to make this work. Any suggestions?
I just tried to duplicate this and was unable to. I forwarded an email from my Exchange account on my Infinity to my gmail account. The email showed perfectly in gmail.
Have you tried forwarding to different people to verify it isn't just one specific user account issue? I am assuming you are using the Email app supplied with the tablet that is from Google.
Hi I have a friend that has converted from an iPhone to a S8
they are liking the new experience that Android is giving, but one thing they are missing the functionality of the iOS mail APP,
where you can have multiple email accounts (Exchange,Gapps,Gmail) and you could send an email from any one of the accounts and all the associated contacts where in 1 global address book.
ie. so they could send an email from the Exchange account and when typing the email address they were able to select a email contact from the Gapps email account,
i know the stock Samsung Email app has this functionality but it dosent list all emails for an exchange account, which is an issue.
is there an email app on the playstore that has this functionality?
thanks
