Exchange alternative

Hey guys,
I ran across this great product i'm testing right now that seems to be working flawlessly, it's called Kerio MailServer. I setup all our windows mobile devices in the house (5) and all sync flawlessly. The neat thing is you dont need to run server OS, it installed on my spare XP box. Very cool.
Just thought i'd share for anyone looking for a cheap direct-push email solution.

Thanks for the heads up. I went to the webpage and browsed through their supported windows devices. The herald is not listed.

When it comes to apps, it's more about whether WM6 is supported than whether the Herald is supported.
I personally use a free exchange server. Works for what I need it, so I'm happy with it.

WM6/Kaiser and Apple Mac OS X?

My friend got a tilt after he saw my awesome pimped up tilt in my hand... problem is.. he only have a mac (that sucks), and he have no way of syncing his data with his Mac
Now anyone with any experience hooking up wm6 to sync with a Mac for calenders and contacts and notes and file installation and stuff? I heard SyncMate, and it's free, anyone who uses mac using it? is it any good? Any other suggestions for syncing between mac and wm6 devices?
Thanks for your input.

Search for "The Missing Sync"

I haven't tried it with my Kaiser yet, but SyncMate worked okay with my Hermes.
The downside of SyncMate is that it needs to install its own USB driver (since it doesn't use ActiveSync), and that driver conflicts with WM5torage - mind you, since WM5torage is hit/miss on the Kaiser anyway, it might not be that big of a deal.
It worked for data synchronization, but accessing the device as a file system is "experimental".

Try The Missing Sync......its not free, but with sync with entourage aswell as mail/icontact etc. Also mounts the phone as a drive for file transfer!

he should be happy, MAC is way better, but that's now offtopic

I just messed around with SyncMate, which works perfectly for me. I hear much less complaints on SyncMate compared to The Missing Sync.
Syncing notes: You'd have to get the expert edition for $39,95. It syncs with Stickies as far as I know, haven't tried it yet (cheap Dutch guy )
Installing files: you can mount the complete device on your mac, and transfer .cab files over to the phone.
In short: SyncMate by Eltima software
PS: also read this discussion

Sync Diamond with Ubuntu

Hi,
Thought I'd start a thread to see if anyone has had any luck trying to Sync the Diamond (Windows Mobile 6.1) and Ubuntu (Evolution, Thunderbird or otherwise).
I found this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391587
which lead to this one
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30936
but it seems miles out of date (May 2005)
If you have any solutions please let me know.
Cheers,

Hi,
it seems possible to sync WM 6.1 with Linux by synce.
But it is quite a lot to configure:
http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithUbuntu
I will be switching to Mandriva because it has integrated WM synchronisation:
http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/2008.1_Synchronization
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMNpI3RUwo8
Cheers!

I've heard that Mandriva has better sync abilities with WM6.1 as well, but as its open source, I would have thought that whatever Mandriva is doing can be done for Ubuntu.
When you setup Mandriva can you let me know what systems and processes are in place for the sync?
Cheers,
P

Hmm i would also like to see that, ive been trying to sync wm6 in fedora for months!!

i installed mandriva 2009 today and i can assure you it fully syncs with my htc touch running wm6. i really like mandriva but had to uninstall it because my printer was not supported. im more of a ubuntu guy myself and i agree the new version 8.10 should support syncing but i don't think it will.

Kolab Server - Kubuntu (Kontact) - ActiveSync
Hi guys,
I got it working with Kolab-Server (http://www.kolab.org), which is only needed if you need an Exchange-type collaboration server, kontact (http://pim.kde.org) and my Touch.
So basically ActiveSync on TD is communicating with kontact. I used the following tutorial:
http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceWithUbuntu
This one should also work with Evolution, but I haven't tried it myself.
Hope it helps,
regards,

Here's a closed thread about the Mandriva sync in Ubuntu with the developer:

I'd love to see some instructions of how to get this set up in Intrepid. This is the only thing I boot into Windows for.

There's a utility called HTCFlasher (found on these forums). Does that not work with the TD?
EDIT: See here

That's for flashing ROMs, not for syncing PIM data

Strange why I would post that. I synced my TyTN with this site using evolution - http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceInstallation
I am yet to try the TD

Has anybody managed to succesfully sync OneNote?

I'm using Hyperdragon III and I also have OneNote 2007 but I can't manage to sync OneNote with OneNote 2007. I checked the OneNote box in the Active Sync options; I also uninstalled both programs and reinstalled again but to no avail. I can't get them to sync.
Is there another way?
PS. I don't know if this is relevant but I have Outlook 2003, which is synced perfectly with my phone. I don't know if the different versions are the problem or not.

Yes, kind of..
I have 'syncronized' OneNote Mobile successfully with OneNote 2007
However OneNote does not syncronize the whole database, only a section called 'Notes from <Mobile Device Name>, which is created when you set up the 'syncronization'. This was a big disappointment to me as I of course wanted all my notes on the phone for easy lookup on the road...

You need OneNote 2007 on your PC to get the sync to work.
With OneNote2003 you can only Sync PPC Notes into OneNote on your PC.

Thanks guys.
torefor, did you have any problems with the sync process?

Man -- I was excited to see that OneNote mobile came with my Kaiser when it got back from HTC for a motherboard replacement...
... but now I see that OneNote dedktop doesn't come with my 2007 Office Pro suite -- I'd have to but it seperately for $99
Oh well -- maybe I'll try the demo version and see if I think its worth it...

Really? Is there not a ONOTE or OneNote MSI with all the other MSI's for Office?
There is one with the package at my work, you just can't do it as part of the office install.

Man -- I see I was not able to spell when I typed my earlier message
Anyway, it's official -- onenote does not come with the Office Pro suite.
It does come with Enterprise, however, which is probably what you have at work.
Update: yay, it looks like I can get it through Microsoft's Work At Home program, and my work also uses the Enterprise Suite!

Onenote comes only with the base "Home and Student," the "Ultimate," which despite it's name does NOT have all Office features, and the "Enterprise" edition.
http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=380
I'm amazed MS has had so much trouble selling this, as I think it's the best software MS has ever put out. Three months ago I was so fed up with MS that I decided to abandon them entirely and move to linux....well, there is NO good replacement for onenote and so I (very begrudgingly) returned. And yes, I did try running an XP VM to run onenote: this is a most unsatisfactory solution. Congrats MS, you lock-in worked in this case. (bastards)

I used onenote on my cell, laptop, desktop and work desktop, and it all syncs fine. Granted I have teh Enterprise edition so that might be the reasons everything worked out the box for me. It is true you need Onenote on the desktop to take advantage of it. To one of the earlier comments about where onenote on the desktop stores the imported notes, you can change that in under tools i believe.
My notes go to the right notebook, but from there i have to manually sort them out to the correct section.
look up some GTD with Onenote articles and it will explain how to set everything... The settings for the phone notes are the same as the settings for sidenotes...
i hope that all made sense...
btw just a little side note... I have a tablet PC so Onenote rocks with a digitizer pen, and being able to search my hand writing etc... So if you own a tablet PC, Onenote is a MUST HAVE APP
if you dont have a tablet PC, i really dont see a need for Onenote other than how it organizes pages etc...
btw OneNote & Groove work awesome together (aslong as your on a 32bit OS since groove doesnt work on 64bit)

Step one: Install Windows on it.
Step two: If it's XP then Install Activesync 4.5.
All done now the world can start moving again...

Yes, same here. Works perfect. Syncs with Address book and calendar.
For more advanced (like TomTom home) functions I installed VMware Fusion with Windows XP vpc and then installed activesync.

Thanks Guys
Tks Guys tried Missing sync keeps crashing when transferring contacts...
Sync mate seems to be the better more stable so far...
Thanks for your help....
