I am thinking about buying a Tytn II (Kaiser). I run Windows XP Pro but I do not run MS Office or Outlook (which are not even installed on my PC) or Internet Explorer (which is). Instead I use OpenOffice (open source freeware), Thunderbird (ditto) and Firefox (ditto). I refuse to pay for MS Office or Outlook. How may I sync my Kaiser to my PC - address book, documents, bookmarks etc. ?
Seems a shame that such a wonderful sounding machine is tied to Outlook and MS Office

Hmmm...Windows Mobile=Microsoft
MS Office/Outlook=Microsoft
ERGO...you're stuck!
As mentioned already Microsoft's synching solutions Activesync or WMDC are for Microsoft apps only (although it baffles me that it won't even synch to native Windows apps such as address book or Outlook Express). There is some releief in that not having a recent version of Outlook installed doesn't grey out Favourites, Files or Media so you should still be able to sync these fine. There are third party products around that offer a greater amount of synching compatibility. Perhaps others who are using the apps you mentioned have experience or can name names. Additionally, perhaps those application suppliers can advise on solutions, if they're aware of any....
I was in a similar situation but I use Thunderbird only for storing my emails.
I saw in another post a link to:
www.goosync.com
I found the Google-calendar quite useful (can be opened in Thunderbird). With Goosync you can free-of-charge sync your Google-calendar (with restrictions). For some money you can also sync tasks and the address-book.
Have a look. Maybe it's something for you. Maybe not.

I sync my contacts directly to my hotmail account without the use of outlook but then again hotmail - microsoft.
Hi
I have trouble opening my Outlook Web Access mail in Opera 9.5 on my HTC Diamond.
Opera only asks if i want to open or save a file called CookieAuth.dll
Its no problem opening Outlook Web Access in Opera 8.65 or Internet Explorer, but it does not work in Opera 9.5.
Anyone else who has the same problem??
it's not exactly a solution to your problem but i found a very nice software that allows you to download your OWA emails as if you had the settings from the server (very helpful in the case of companies not allowing off campus email access other than OWA). It's called emoze and works very nicely... try it...
OWA

Hi
I experience the same problem. Even with previous Opera 8.5 (?), for symbian S60 Nokia Communicator i was not able to get access to my webmail.
With Nokia I had to use Opera Mini 1.20, and with Qtek or HTC i find Netfront the best (as it is the only one that memorizes my login data)
I can also get the mail with IExplorer, but it is annoying to have to write my login data every time
Seems like it is a problem with Opera then. But i like Opera, so does anybody know a way to come around this problem and still use opera?

Am I missing something here... But can you not just configure Pocket Outlook to check your emails? If you have access to OWA then this is in essence what Pocket Outlook uses to fetch emails.
I would love to do that, but because i sync my other email account with outlook on my PC, I can't use pocket outlook to check my OWA account.
Or is it some way too do that???

Well as long as the 'other email account' is IMAP/POP enabled then you can just create a 'New Account' in Pocket Outlook. It will have its own folder structure e.g. Inbox, Sent, Deleted etc. Who is the provider of your other email account?
I've got my work email via MS Exchange and also have 2 other email accounts on there too- just like many other people on here I'm sure.
What you can't do (as far as I know) in Pocket Outlook is actually 'sync' more than one email account.
But you can't configure a outlook web acces account on pocket outlook, you have to use active sync to set it up on the diamond, or am i wrong?
And when i does that it says that i can't sync OWA mail because i already sync my other email account with Outlook on my PC.
Must be someway that you can sync two email accounts!
Yes, you can configure OWA with active sync and then you set up any other emails via IMAP/POP. If you dont have a data plan, then both of email accounts will update when you connect the device to your PC (using it's internet connection). This is exactly how I do it- Like I said, my work email (OWA/Exchange) is setup 'via active sync' and then I have configured my two other IMAP and POP3 email accounts.
What you need to do, is not 'sync' your Outlook on you PC but rather create a 'New Account' in Pocket Outlook, the end result is still exactly the same but this way you can have you OWA and Outlook email both on you device.
If you have a look at my screen capture, you will see I have the 'Outlook E-mail' which is my OWA/Exchange email. Then I have my Hotmail account and I also have one called 'Sunil Hirji', which is my personal IMAP(or POP3) account.
Just wonder if your problem has been resolved. I have got a HTC Touch HD the other day and I have encountered the same problem.
Yes me too. I have tried to sync using ActiveSync etc., but it doesn't appear to work.
Could anyone provide some screenshots showing how it should be set up. I have a feeling there is a setting server side that is preventing me from syncing using ActiveSync (have e-mailed the IT guys today).
Even if I could access using Opera it would be good, but I get the Cookie authorisation problem. Outlook Web Access works fine on a desktop so am at a loss .
Get it working?
A possible "workaround" for this is setting up "File Types" for opera. To do this, open the opera.ini file (depending on the version of opera you are using, may be in different locations on your device), mine was located in windows\opera9. Edit the file using a text editor that supports UTF 8 encoding.
There is a section in there titled [File Types] with some entries under it. After the last current entry, add the following lines:
application/x-msdownload=2,,,,,|
application/x-msdos-program=2,,,,,|
Save the file with these entries back to your mobile device. Soft reset your device.
These tell Opera to open the x-msdownload and x-msdos-program mime types directly in the browser, rather than trying to download them as files.
I classify this as a "workaround" rather than a solution, because there may be some security implications related to making this change (ie there must be a reason why opera is configured to not automatically open .dll files in the browser as the default setting), so proceed with caution and accept all risk!
Anyway, hope this helps...
You beauty!!!
Hello,
I'm new on the forum.
I managed, thanks to the nice infos-wikis you provide, to upgrade my tytn II to the latest official rom / win 6.1.
I am now using gmail via mini opera.
I am still unable to attach a file to an e-mail.
For example, I take a pic with the tytn II, how can I send it as an attached file via e-mail ?
If you have a solution, thanks for helping me !
See u,
dany123
Don't think mini Opera will support attaching files.
I use pocket outlook with my Gmail set up via POP3 (can also use IMAP)
Look at the end of this youtube video showing attaching files via pocket outlook.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiItWmv8D3c
Another option would be to install Opera 9.5, plenty of links & tips in the forum if you do a search.
Heres a link to Opera: http://rs257.rapidshare.com/files/190198642/Opera_v9.5_build_15529_WWE_QVGA.rar
Thanks for the infos ! I will certainly have a look.

Hello,
I have read about pop, imap, opera mobile, etc... but the answer is still not clear to me.
I am trying to find a solution to send a file in attachment via webmail on my kaiser (not via pop or imap). Is this possible ?
Thks for your help!

Your options are to try Opera 9.5 or perhaps even the PPC Firefox browser & see if they support your needs.
Gmail do an application for the PPC that may assist you in your requirements
I have never handled email via browser webmail on my PPC as it is such an awkward way to check & send mail & can be expensive pending on your data plan.
I handle all my mail via pocket outlook with pomo mail organiser plugin making it run smooth.

See bellow post
never mind, the http://myphone.microsoft.com only works with WM6.
Ok so how can help me get my full contacts, music and pictures from my HD2 to the new phone.
Very retarted I must add. There should be a simple application that allows you to transfer all that data to ur comp or some other place and then back to the new phone, no matter what the os version is like Nokia has.
Please help
Here's what i did:
1. first create a windows live account online
2. sync all your contacts to outlook (use active sync for xp) by connecting ur hd2
3. convert ALL contacts through outlook - access FILE, IMPORT EXPORT, choose EXPORT A NEW FILE, choose Comma Separate Values (windows), then type in preferred file name (take note of file location in ur pc)
4. log in to windows live account, go to contacts page and import the contacts by accessing the file you exported from Outlook.
5. activate your phone's DATA or WIFI connection, and set-up/turn on your windows live account on your hd7.
6. once complete, all contacts should sync on your hd7!
The process is lenghty and i prefer direct sync from outlook similar to WM6.5 but i think Microsoft wants to promote windows live.
Hope this helps!
** btw, for pictures and music, i believe the best way is to use ZuneSW on your pc or use the MAC connector if you're using mac (like me!). both can be downloaded through windows website, just "bing it"!

Thank you for the reply.
Two problems
Cant sync with Outlook, have it installed, set up accounts when I connect my HD2 to it, it tells me that out look is not my default email program, even though its set to be, i checked, then when I go into settings it only lets me sink notes and some other crap, not contacts.
So I used the windows live to sink, or what I though was windows live. but its for V6 only. ( very retarted on microsofts part)
When you log into windows live, it has nothing to do with your phone.windows account.
I cant get zune to install either, gives me a net frame error, even though net frame is up to date.
Im running windows 7, with all latest updates.
Im not idiot when it comes to computer, but man windows is making it tough to do simple things.
I just tried to install that stupid software for the cloud, it would not install any o fit either, cant figure out what is going on.
You guys make things to hard. add the windows live account to your hd2 and have it sync then add the win live account to your hd7. You can also use gmail thru activesync on the hd2 and it will give you an option to sync gmail contacts on the hd7
Never thought of that before! I only opened a windows live account when i transitioned to HD7. I used the hard way (outlook sync), it's great that u suggested an easier one.
Thanks!

Tried the Gmail version when I first got the HD2 and it did not give me option of which way to sync, it saw my gmail account had no contacts and cleared them all off.
Either way, I think microsoft should develop a simple back up and sync system, without having to use outlook or windows live, i dont use either way on a daily basis.

Just tried your idea, went to Windows Live on HD2, logged in, on sync options only option is to show windows live contacts on phone, not vice versa, do a sync, log on to my live account via pc, no contacts shown.
have you actually done this? or just going of of theory?
You should use ActiveSync on your old WM device to connect to your Live/Hotmail-account.
It will sync your phone contacts to your live account which then will show up in your WP7 device.
It worked for me, even though I don't have a hotmail-address.

I am saving the less important user credentials as well as some other short stuff like registry keys and other short notes on the notes in Outlook/Exchange.
On my HD2 with WM 6.5, I used to sync these notes and and also automatically had them at home too when I synced the pda with my home outlook.
Now with Desire HD, it does not sync the outlook notes.
Is there a way to sync outlook notes under froyo?
Somebody knows of some other solution to achieve this? I usually work on the desktop and therefore also want to administer and use the notes-information there, but it should also be safed on the pda for use out of office.
Outlook notes where also handy, because they followed automatically the move to a new pc and I do not have to install some additional program.
I know of secure solutions like KeePassDroid, but it seems to be a bit too complicated to handle when used frequently.
Hi,
I am using Documents To Go to sync my exchange stuff, I can choose which folders are synced. Although I do not use the notes myself I am quite sure they can be synchronized as well.
Only hickup I see (do not like it myself) is that it does not sync with two PC's at a time. This means if You sync with two PC's there will be two folders on your SD card, not one.
Maybe this would be a solution. If You do not want to edit the files on your device, there is no need for the full version either,
regards,
Ruud
