I'm wondering if it is possible to maintain two calendar's on my kaiser. One for my personal appointments, that can be synchronised with my outlook client on my desktop and one for the business appointments that will be syncronized with my outlook client on my business laptop?
Alernatively one calendar would be fine, but i would like to avoid at all cost that my private account are replicated back to my business laptop. (I would really mind seeing business appointments in my personal outlook client though).
I've tried searching the forum, but could find a possible solution.
Have you considered using "Categories?" You can assign a "Personal" category to all of you personal stuff. Then, you can use "View" to filter in/out the Personal items.
Not a bad idea.
But even then my personal data would be replicated to my business calender and I don't want that. My colleagues have at least read access to my business calender and I don't want them to be able to see my private appointments. And I know I can mark them as private. It would mean a lot of overhead though, I'd have to mark all my appointments as private and assign them to the personal categorie.
Close, but not really what I am looking for.
I really would like to be able to maintain 2 calenders on my pda.
Or if I had the possibility to do a one way sync with my business calendar that would also be enough.
I don't think so...Intellisync would let you actually sync only certain categories and I used it to do just what you want...but it stopped working with Office 2007.
Is your personal calendar in Google? I'm not sure, but maybe you can accomlish this via categories, and use of OGG Synch.
I have accomplished it, but my work calendar is Lotus Notes, and I use mNOtes to replicate to it. I just set a category of No Notes Synch and mNotes will not take it up to my Notes calendar.
I keep meticulous care of my Contacts on my TILT which is connected to a Hosted Exchange account which I can also access with Outlook 2007 on my home laptop. I'd like to be able to setup a mechanism to sync only those contacts categorized as WORK with my work computer/exchange.
I've tried using the cross pollination reg hack on the TILT, to activesync contacts with two machines. However, when you use that option it is all or nothing; you cannot selectively sync WORK categorized contacts only and I don't want my personal contacts on my work Exchange server.
So I started thinking about third party solutions. Would I be able to setup something to selectively sync the WORK contacts to say a third party host like Gmail from both my home machine and my work machine?
I've been reading into OggSync and Google Contacts.
I only want to have to maintain all my contacts in one place.
Anyone else doing something similar?
Hi,
I currently use AS 4.5 to sync my Exchange data to my Tilt.
I sync the Calendar etc every morning before I leave for work.
However, the calendar is frequently updated during the day, and I want to ne able to sync to my work PC as well during the day.
Due to a variety of reasons (not technical), I'm not able to use push mail or to sync via a third party tool eg Google.
I recall that during my Dell Axim days, I had a hell of a time synching between my home and work computers (many times I'd get duplicated calendars, etc).
I'd appreciate your recommendations regarding appropriate syc apps that would replace AS and would allow me to sync from my 2 PCs (both are WinXp), and I always sync with my Exchange account that contains all my data (calendar, emails from all my accounts, etc) as a single source (ie I don;t have 2 separate Echange accounts, which should simplify things).
I'm aware of Missing Sync and Chapura Pocket Mirror Professional.
Can anyone here recommend either one, or another app?
Thank you.
Now I'm already betting I know the answer to this, having tried to do it for so many years on WM, but I thought it's worth trying again now I'm with Android!!
Anyway, what I want to do is be able to sync with two different Exchange servers (my work and home servers, that is). I thought I might be able to do this by using two separate Activesync clients, so I set up the HTC Mail client to sync with my personal email on my own server and then downloaded Touchdown to handle my work account. It's nearly perfect, in that it works and I have two separate Exchange accounts pushing updates to one device. Take that Windows Mobile!
But, whilst I am more than happy having two separate inboxes for my email. what I really want is both calendars appearing in the HTC calandar. I don't want to check for appointments in multiple places, after all. Seeing as HTC's calendar already checks across several different calendar sources, I'm guessing this is, at least technically, possible.
So does anyone know of any other Exchange Activesync applications for Android that would do what I want - or am I still hoping for too much from Exchange?
(On a separate - but related - note, I nearly fainted when I discovered Outlook 2010 could have multiple, active Exchange accounts in the SAME PROFILE! I've only been waiting for that feature since Outlok 2000!)
I've posted a Touchdown feature request about being able to have two different Exchange accounts. I also mentioned that it would be great to sync between the accounts as well.
Please join and post your thoughts at http://groups.google.com/group/nitrodesk/browse_thread/thread/68c0e38c899934d9. The more we are that are requesting this feature the quicker it may be implemented.

Sync your Touchdown account's calendar with your phone through Gmail. Downside is it needs a pc online with Outlook+Google Calendar sync running
Outlook->Google Cal sync -> Gmail calendar -> phone's calendar
Slow response from me, but thanks for the suggestions.
However, as it seems the Hero will be getting Android 2.0 and that supports multiple Exchange accounts, I think I'll just wait for that to come out. Seems the simpler option and I've been waiting for a phone to have this functionality since WM2003 - so I think I can wait a little bit longer!
HTC HD7 with WM7 - there is no provision to synchronise with microsoft outlook using Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Centre.
Alternate way of using Exchange Activesync does look complicated
Please address the issue
This has been Answered
There are some workarounds & a 3rd party app, the solutions have been posted and can be easily found with a simple search (here is a hint, CompanionLink for outlook, Windows Live Connector, Gmail Sync). This is a very hot issue and I suspect there will be more solutions forthcomming
Cheers

I tried the Hotmail connector, I had some issues, it seemed to have problems dealing with more than 250 contacts. I am using the Demo version of CompanionLink and syncing to my gmail acct and that is working very nicely.
cheers

I followed method two from the two ways to sync and worked just fine. I kind of like getting away from Outlook anyway. Hotmail/Windows Live is great since it can used through any computer contected to the internet to update contacts, phone numbers, etc. But I could see if this is an issue if you primarily use Outlook.

The problem I have is my company isn't running Exchange so for me to get my calendar and contacts I need a way to sync with Outlook.
I've tried Hotmail Connector and it works well for a one time sync but if you have a lot of changes to your calendar I have to make the changes in Outlook and Hotmail.
I refuse to pay $40 for something that should work out of the box.

Unfortunately, both are cloud solutions, which are unacceptable to me for both security and privacy.
If the WM7 device were seen as an external storage device (apparently doable via the registry), does anyone know whether this could faciliate a direct USB sync with Outlook 2010 32-bit?
Both solutions are OK for a one off copy of Calender & Contacts but do not perform a true contniuous Sync with Outlook and do not handle TASKS

if you are not ready to play with the cloud, I don't think wp7 is for you. They seem very serious about making the cloud an integral part of the OS going forward.

no microsoft myphone. All syncing goes through your live email address (like hotmail). For me, I had all my contact info on gmail because of playing on android with my hd2.
1. Logged into hotmail
2. clicked on import contacts under the contacts view
3. Clicked on gmail and followed the instructions
Took about 10 minutes.
For outlook I'm pretty sure you can do something similar, though I think you might need outlook connector from the marketplace to bridge it over from outlook to hotmail. You will only have to do this once, but then I guess your outlook will not be a syncable acct on you phone.
Just looked on my hotmail and it says to export your outlook contacts to a file that you can then upload to hotmail.
I'm a Windows Mobile User for 2 years now (SE Xperia X1) and loved the way I can sync it with outlook.
I have all my contacts (approx 500) in outlook and also use the calendar (+5000 items)
I've spent some time in the past to get the info on my contacts straight and I'm very disappointed about the lack of synchronisation options between WP7 and outlook.
Why does everything needs to be cloud-based.
I don't sync every day, but neither use outlook on everyday basis.
I never experienced syncing problems on either calender/notes/contacts or mail.
I have read something about features that will be added in the near future into WP7 and hope that local outlook synchronisation is one of them.
Hi guys,
I`m new to WM7 and i`m trying t sync my contacts as well. I don`t use Outlook and idon`t have an account.Is there any other way to get my contacts on te phone?
Thanks
So the windows 7 software allows syncing to google calender, email and contacts?
I'm stunned that there is no native support for Outlook synchronization with Exchange - this is old school and what I consider a core component of any smartphone I purchase.
I've just bought a HD7 assuming it would have this functionality (why would I check for this on a Windows phone, next I'll need to check the thing makes calls), guess I'm going to have to sell it on.
There maybe Third party solutions but I can't imagine they're ever going to work as well as a direct sync with the Exchange server in my office, giving Contacts, Tasks, Calendar Items, etc.
Absolutely gutted.

Of course there's native support.
If you have an exchange server, you have ZERO to worry about.
The issue is people who use Outlook for Pop and Imap. Or people who just use it for tasks and contacts. Without a Hotmail Connector, there is no way to interface with Outlook like the old school Active Sync did.
Again though, If you have Exchange, it works exactly like it does on any other platform, if not better. The only thing lacking right now is Tasks.
Jimbonics,
I could kiss you. My wife wouldn't like it (and neither would you most likely, I'm stubbly)
I've been reading phone forums, reviews and specs for what seems like months trying to choose the right phone (offline voice command via bluetooth is essential for me but Android doesn't do it and other devices have flaky support) so I skim read this thread: my bad.
Thanks for making my day.
