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
Being a Mac user, I am actually trying to figure out ways to synchronize my mails and contacts between the Touch Diamond and my MacBook. I used the free version of SyncMate up till now but it doesn't work well with the Diamond and I would rather go for a solution that also syncs my music. That's why I am considering the The Missing Sync.
So has anyone tried synchronizing their phones (HTC Diamond) through the Missing Sync? How long do you expect support to come for it in case it's not supported?

I am a mac user too and have tried both, I found under 10.5.4 both are problematic to say the least but a new version of Syncmate is coming out real soon which fixes a lot of problems.
In regards to timelines you can but wait, or even better hope that apple release an update to isync!

Syncing HTC Diamond with MacOS 10.5.4 and Missing for WM 4.0.3 works well for contacts (Apple Address Book, but contact pictures does not seem to sync well), calendar (Apple iCal), tasks (Apple iCal) and music (Apple iTune). Please, read:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2450815&postcount=16
That's the way I proceed and I am quite happy with the result.
Moreover, I went back to this solution after using an iPhone during six months since Windows Mobile / ActiveSync / Missing Sync can manage two partnerships by themselve, i.e without relying on a third-party service such as Mobile.Me. This is very important for me since I must sync the PDA with a professional MacBook and my own iMac.
Hi everyone,
I used to have MyphoneExplorer for my k800i but know I have the x1 but cant find any program like MyphoneExplorer for free.
Does anyone know a free program like myphoneexplorer to organize my texts/calls/ etc etc
Hope someone can help
ty
you should prob describe what functionality your MyphoneExplorer offered
as people here would be more likely to know about programs for wm then old SE phone programs
The program saves text messages.. and you can accept cals trough your pc.
I found oxycube from oxygen. But that program is pretty expensive.. and would like a similar free program
no one is using a phone manager on your desktop??

MyPhoneExplorer is an awesome program that let you connect your phone to your computer (either by bluetooth or cable), and from your computer you can do those things:
- Contact: view, change, and sync your contact to the program own database, or Outlook, Outlook Express, or Gmail
- The same thing goes for calendar and note, you can sync them to its own database or Outlook. With calendar, you are given the option to sync to GCal, Rainlendar, or ICal
- You can also set up alarm from your computer and sync it to your phone
- It syncs all the record of your call: miss, receive, dial
- It syncs all your messages, and with the extra feature of archive your deleted messages.
- It let your browse your files on the phone: your pictures, your music...
- it monitor the status of your phone: storage, memory, bluetooth signal, phone signal, battery...
Literally, after connected, your computer is just like a huge screen phone with keyboard. You can browse everything that are on your phone. And when a sms arrives, it pops up like a chat window. And when a call comes, it pops up on your screen whether you want to accept or reject.
So far I never seen any program that can do all sort of thing. I can get some program to do some certain things I want. But I dont see any that sucks up all things I need to do with my phone into 1 program, like MyPhoneExplorer. My mind was just blown away when I used it. Honestly, after switching to a Win.Mobile platform, I still miss some of the features from MyphoneExplorer. I admit I am a big fan of it, not mention that it is free.

I am in the same boat with you. I owned a k800i and try recently bought a Touch Pro2. I try to find a replacement for MyPhoneExplorer and I find this one: MOBILedit. Its features description and its screenshot show it has similar functions to MyPhoneExplorer. Unfortunately, my phone is unsupported. So I cannot tell you how well those functions work.
But I see your phone is on the supported phone list. So maybe you can try it and see how it compares to MyPhoneExplorer. It is not free thou. And I doubt if there is any program offers all those cool features for free.
I just found xilisoft mobile phonemanager and its free!!.. And I only want to buy software if its great .. and mobiledit its ok for free but not great!.. if you know what I mean
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

My Milage
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.
B
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.

I have try hd7 for three days and I didn't see msn messenger app on the phone??!no messenger??!! that is so funny.what is mircosoft thinking
agree
I totally agree,
Don't get me wrong, I love the HD7 and I'm warming up to WP7, but Microsoft does have some disturbing Omissions from their OS.
MSN messenger is one of em'. RDP is another one. But I agree with you that the omission of an integrated MSN messenger is absolutely bizarre.
There is a official MSN Messenger App by Miyowa.
I do agree that's it's odd Microsoft did not do it themselves and farmed it out to a 3rd party. Seems rather strange.
If there any TBA for Live Messenger from Microsoft for Windows Phone 7?
Any news?
Live Messenger from Miyowa is the Official App confirmed my Microsoft ...... End of Story
althought I wished they had a yahoo messenger or atleast where the live messenger ran continuously
what the !?!??!?
