sync with Lotus Notes

HI,
i have a new Wizard. Former i got a MDA III with windows mobile 2003. Now i have the problem that the sync SW is not working anymore syncing with Lotus Notes. Does anyone has experinece which peace of SW does work to sync especially contacts and calendar.
greetings

Commontime mNotes
mNotes does work. It's not great but may be the best. An alternative is a link M$ provide to Outlook which is free and may work for you.

I have mNotes and it now works after I had some trouble installing it.
What else could work is the latest version of intellisync.
so long...

IBM has a sync tool called EasySync Pro. It is a bluewashed version of XTNDConnect. I believe XTNDConnect has WM5 support as the IBM version of it is being beta'd now... I'm using the IBM beta version and it seems to work well.

Another vote for mnotes. It works very well for me. Have used it with an imate jam and cingular 8125.

I use IntelliSync with Groupwise and it is pretty smooth. You might take a look at the free trial http://www.sync.com/is_desktop_main.html

What version of mNotes are you guys using?
I tried using 4.2.0 which works ok for a couple of hours but then I dont seem to be able to run mCentre, mStatus etc. I had to downgrade to 4.1 to get a more reliable solution.
Also how is the push email working out for you? Mine works flawlessly as long as the device is awake...After it is in sleep mode (i.e screen off) it can be very hit and miss. I keep finding that I need to wake the device to check my email - which kind of defeats the object!

Sinanju is correct that XTNDConnect PC works with WM5 devices. I tried several programs but eventually settled on XTNDConnect PC to sync with Lotus Notes 7 (only calendar syncing). I had been using EasySync Pro 4.2.3 with my HP iPAQ 4155 but once I bought my MDA, I had to find a new solution.
I wish I had access to the EasySync Pro 4.2.4 beta but for now I am happy with XTNDConnect PC.

I also have to agree Mnotes is the best, a little expensive though and the 4 weeks trial period is a little short.
If, however by accident, your computer thinks it's already living in 2010 before you first install it, it lasts a little longer.

I've used XTNDConnect PC (extensively), Easysync (briefly), Intellisync (briefly) and now mNotes. If you are looking for power and flexibility, mNotes is by far the best, IMO. And... the best thing about it is that it allows you to sync to your Notes client computer over WiFi! I love that!

Dont use notes!
We have notes at work. I downloaded the Outlook connector for domino, and now i use outlook 2003 instead of notes. My Varo syncs withouth any issues to outlook.
Its not perfect - but its MUCH better than having to use notes.

I did that for a while. My issue with it was that folks in my office like to use multiple-line subjects in calendar entries. The Outlook connector will chop them off at one line and that gets sync'd back to Domino... even if you look at the calendar in Notes, the data will be gone. Unfortunately, that was a deal breaker for me.
You might want to look into Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook (DAMO)... it's an IBM product that will do what the Outlook connector will do without nearly as many limitations.

Hey - thanks for the tip there. The Microsoft one does have a few issues so perhaps this will sort them out! Cheers dude!

Sync with Lotus Notes for WM5
Hi
Try xtndconnect pc desktop from ianywhere.
http://www.ianywhere.com/products/xtndconnect_pc.html
Exelent

Here's another path;
I really don't like Notes so I use Outlook as my front end but everyone needs to see my calendar so what to do. I found a program called doublelook, it syncs calendar & contacts between notes & outlook & works great.
http://www.companionlink.com/
It doesnt do email so that could be an issue for some. I had created an agent to bounce my emails to a pop3 site but some IS weeny freaked out and took away my agent privilages, anyone know a hack around on this?

Another vote for Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook.
I HATE Lotus Notes. The software is so ass backwards and archaic looking it makes me nauseaus every time I have to go into it for something, but I digress....
A buddy of mine first told me about the MS Outlook Connector from Microsoft. I really liked that one as it gave you the cool translucent popups for new mail notifications in Office 2003, but after installing it I could not see all of the mail folders I had setup on the Domino server, as well as I would occasionally lose a folder or two along the way. This also happened to another co-worker. Totally unreliable and needs much work. Frankly, I think they ought to pull that connector until such time as it can be made to work correctly. (Usually I'm a huge proponent of anything MS.)
I spoke with our Domino consultant and he gave us a copy of Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook. This is a decent little program that works great. It does not require you to have Lotus Notes installed on your PC at all. Since installing it, I use Outlook exclusively. It gives you tons of functionality that the MS client doesn't, and most importantly I can see all of my mail folders. It has some shortfalls, like I can't look at some shared departmental calendars as they don't belong to a specific person.
For syncing with my Wizard though, it works like a champ and gets me out of using that dreadful Notes client.
Your IT admin may not be as receptive to the idea of you using/installing Outlook. Fortunately for me I am the IT guy and it's not an issue

i had this same problem yesterday, i downloaded Intellisync 5.5 and it works great with Lotus R6 and T-Mobile MDA

I am assuming that you have updated the BDAY field in the contacts on your diamond.
Now.. sync the diamond with the outlook on your PC.
Outlook will take up those dates from your diamond.. and update those into the contact files on outlook.
Those dates, will now also hit the Calendar on the outlook and individual reminders will be created for those dates.
Sync the calendar on your outlook with your diamond.. and you should have all the bday reminders set up and showing on your diamond (on the appropriate days)
All the best

Thanks a lot Lordraj !!
You are the best !!

Once you sync with outlook you will have the memo on your today TFL, remember though that the calendar always display 1 day event and one normal event unles you chenge some set up.

how do u change it ?

I already wrote to HTC, requesting to give us back either the possibility of using plugins/items in the home tab with TF3D or at least integrate a possibility to config the home tab with birthdays out of contacts, number of future appointments shown, size of clock, number of todos shown etc.
Please also contact HTC and ask for this. If we are all asking and telling them, that without this feature the TF3D is just half as usefull... we will succeed!

Birthday reminder on HTC Diamond

Hello,
Can anyone tell me how you use the agenda birthday reminder with HTC Diamond ? I've just bought the phone and sync it with mail2web (outlook exchange service on Internet). The phone is not reminding me birthdays which is annoying me...
Before, I was using TYNT II with Spb Diary plugin which was great ! It was showing the coming birthdays and also ringing the D-day.
I read that other Diamond users had also this kind of issue. To solve it they manage birthday's on Outlook contact (on their computer) to generate entire day event and then sync it with their phone.
Do you know another way to get this reminder work ?
Thank you

i HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM... HOW CAN i USE BIRTH REMINDER ON TOUCH FLO.
ANY BODY KNOW???
LEO

It seems that no one else has this kind of problem....

i do, but i haven't any solutions for this ****ty bug

Finally I've manually created reminders in the calendar...

I have all the birthday in the Outlook (like meeting)
and all ok after sync the Phone with the Outlook (to outlook exchange server at work via the Internet)
Just open the Outlook and add new Item in the Calender , cycle it evey year as u add the item (Press on the Recurrence button), that all ...

I have added birthdays to my contacts in outlook. Is there away to make those show up on the today screen? its kinda odd the calender is only for meetings or perhaps i am missing something here.
I assume i could add birthdays by hand in outlook but that kinda defeats the idea when you can have it all in the contact info.
Regards

I use Birthdays 1.2.10, so I don't need to touch the calendar.
http://pda.jasnapaka.com/birthdays/

I know Birthdays 1.2.10 but this programm don't work with manila3d
becaus all today pugins don't work with manila3d

The funniest thing
In also seem to have a birthday related problem.
I bought my diamond several months ago and synced it with my compu (outlook 2007). I just yet noticed it didn't sync all my birthday info. (The info is in he contacts, the birthdays just aren't coming up in my calender, neither on my compu nor on my phone ).
Is there a way to 'update' the calender in such way all birthdays come back to my calender?
Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
If you enter the birthday in outlook contacts, normally a all day event will be created in outlook. please check if this is ok. finally i have turn off the reminders for this events, because the alarm will go on at 11.45 pm by default. This all day events appears on my home sreen in TF3D.
\\yoshi

maybe U can to use a software like mToday and to have 2 Today profiles ... one with manila and other with regular WinMo plugins

I think you need to synchronise it with outlook on your pc for it to take effect. Outlook on the phone isn't smart enough to figure it out by itself apparently, but I've just synched it with my pc, it's showing up in the calendar in outlook and in the calendar on the phone.

Is it possible that there is no any simple WM application to check contacts evey day for birthdays.
Pocket PC should be smarter than some "smartphones"

I want my contacts to be first name then last name. Possible?

As the title states, I cant figure out how to stop having my contact list put the last name first. I want it organized by first name.
Is this possible?

It is possible, and can be done by using the 'file as' drop down when editing contacts in Outlook on your PC, then re-syncing with your diamond.
Don't know of a way to do it stand alone though.

That's probably why I would think; I use Outlook, and it works fine... can't speak for your app, sorry.

There's actually a tiny freeware program that does just that, bulk on all your contacts: Contact Utilities v1.0b.
I've used it exactly for this and it worked perfectly

I just save them without a space between first and second names, that guarantees it will be the same on any phone ( e.g. if you go skiing and temporary transfer sim card to another phone or change phone to completely different model)

When you people talk about Outlook, do you mean the old crapy Outlook or brand new kick a*s Windows Live Mail?

they are two different lines of product, Outlook is not old, the latest version is 2007 .. I suppose this one

Actually, I'm willing to buy a Htc Touch diamond, but I've always hated outlook, and I'm kind of more fund on WL Mail... I've been using it quite a lot (About 20 mails a day) and I'm not willing to change my habits... So I wanted to know if
1) The mail tab on TouchFlo shows WL acounts
2) Will contacts on WL Mail be synchronised with the TD?
Thanks for replies.

Contacts not syncing on Tytn II

Hi folks,
I've recently noticed that my contacts are no longer syncing from my PC > mobile. I've noticed this because I've recently added two new contacts, and couldn't find them when I wanted to call them!
To give more info, my environment is: -
O/S: Vista, SP1
ROM: Stock T-Mobile Vario III, WM6
Office: 2007, using Outlook 2007
Additional notes: -
- sync up with 2 computers, but contacts only sync with the home one (calendar + tasks on both).
- Recently acquired a SE W880i of my brother for weekends, which syncs up with Outlook as well, via a SE program.
I've searched for an answer, and the only one that sounds reasonable is maybe the photo is too big, but the other contact doesn't have a pic, so most likely not the problem.
Many thanks in advance for the help! ^^

.... I take it take it's not a common problem, then?

OK, I've figured out a workaround, in case anyone else has this problem.
what I did on the PC was copy the details onto notepad, then delete the contact. My PPC then synced (as it was cradled), and made another copy of it out of spite! I then deleted the new contact, and it was deleted on both.
After this, I made a new contact and filled in the details again, pic and all, and it synced up all nice again! the other contacts also played nice, so all's good.
Note: I didn't have a problem with tasks nor calendar throughout, so Idon't know if it affected anything (most likely not in my case).
Hope that'll help anyone who had the same prob.

Thanks for sharing it with us.I also had the same problem...
