It's strange, but I want to sync only calendar and contacts with my work account (Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account).
In my old HTC Wildfire, under Settings-Account, I was able to choose what items I want to sync: calendar, contacts and/or email.
But with my new SGSII I can only choose calendar, contacts and task.
I can't tick or untick the email mark, it isn't.
It works well, syncing my email, but I don't know how to deactivate email sync and go on with calendar and contacts sync.
Does anybody know how to do this, is the diference the android version ? (if the cause is the version, what about ICS ?
Thanks a lot.

Hello!
I own a Universal use a Laptop to sync with my laptop (Vista).
I want to sync like this:
Personal folder of outlook (with gmail account): contacts, calendar, tasks, notes and emails
Exchange account: contacts, calendar, tasks and emails.
The problem is that I'm not able to sync from both.
Notice that I have both Exchange and personal data on my laptop, its from where I want to sync both.
Best regards,
Deiota
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?

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.
Is it possible to enable one-way sync for a calendar from the exchange server to your phone? I don't want any changes made on my phone to be cascaded to the exchange server.
Thanks guys.

This only shows me how to setup syncing with Google products.

I am looking for the same capability. I believe the option to choose direction of synching was removed after ActiveSync 3, as I know I used to use this functionality all the time. I don't want to sync my personal contacts & calendar from my personal pc to my business contacts & calendar on my work laptop. But I want both my business contacts & calendar on my personal pc and phone.
BTW - Google sync only allows you to sync one computer/device, unless that has been changed recently. Also, from what I could see it doesn't offer one-way synching.
So I have 2 main email Adresses conected with my Phone.
One is my Xbox live account and the second one is the Primary calender and Gmail account I use. Both are Gmail Accounts.
The Problem is that the calender syncs neither of those accounts.
How do I fix that?
it is set to Sync in the options.
Thanks in advance!
wp7 can currently sync the 'main' calendar from any of your email accounts. It wont sync either of them? It should be able to sync both calendars if you want to (only the primary calendar for each).
Thanks for the quick reply
so I tested it with both accounts. It does sync the calender if I enter the date on the pc, but it does not sync it back to the gmail calender if I create the event on the phone.
hmm..that is weird. I put things on my phone all the time, and they end up in my online calendar as well. Although I just use my hotmail calendar.
Try unchecking the sync with calendar box, and redoing it. I really don't know why it only sync's one way, maybe somebody else can chime in?
I know thats the weird thing.
So i did some testing the primary email acc is the [email protected] addy, but the main acc I use is the other one.
If i use the calender on gmail it wont work, but it will copy from the hotmail cal to the phone but not back to the hotmail cal.
And my main acc doe not sync at all.
it is very weird, maybe because I have two accs?
I just tested with my Google Calendar. Put in an appointment on phone, and it was up online within seconds.
Then I deleted that event online, and was taken off phone. I then added a different one online, and it was sent to the phone calendar almost instantly.
Worked very well, so not sure whats causing your issue
As a lawyer, I need to be able to sync my phone to and fro with confidentiality for my clients. I was able to do this before with my palm treo(legacy device), but now that I have made the leap into the new smartphone age I realized that androids sync with google on pretty much everything so I was wondering if anyone has any idea how to sync all of the stuff on my sensation without sending any information to google.
Also what is this tmobile theme engine they are talking about in this post:

When setting up your phone & using a gmail account, go to Accounts & Sync & uncheck syncing of contacts.
Then you can setup your e-mail accounts & contacts through HTC's exchange setup. This will not go throught google but will sync your phone to the exchange account directly.
Contact Sync
You could try using Microsoft Exchange as your email client. I use Exhange along with with my google email.
omar when i go into accounts and sync there is no feature to stop the syncing of contacts and also what is this htc exchange setup. Also i checked my gmail account and the contacts that are synced on it are only from the ones i input into google voice not my phone, but some contacts that are favorited on my phone show up on my gmail contacts as starred on android. So here is what im wondering: Does the phone only sync the contacts on my google account not all the contacts on my phone that i transfered for example from another phone

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Your phone should sync each type of contacts seperatelty.
As for accounts and sync, tap on your google account and it'll open an another screen were you can choose (check) what you want to sync.
htc exchange, by going to accounts & sync > Add Account > Exchange ActiveSync.
This is only in case you have an Exchange Server to sync with.
I exchange email via Gmail only from my PC. I also have that same account setup on my phone (it is not used there), since Android requires it.
Since I do not want my Contacts/clients residing on Google's servers, I have Gmail sync turned off.
With Gmail sync turned off, can I now configure another non-Gmail email account, have it sync with my PC (direct via USB, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth), without these Contacts ending up on Google servers?
