Hi all,
sorry for posting, but i've realy used the search functionality but all link i've found about this were dead.
My company migrated to LOTUS NOTES coming from Outlook.
How can I synchronize my Calendar / Contacts with my Kaiser?
Is there a free software alternative?
My God. My company migrate from Louts Domino to Exchange/Outlook
I can imagine why
Do you know a good sync tool for Lotus notes.
Local sync is enough (no need to direct sync with the domino server).
If you want to just sync with the local lotus notes installation then you can use Mnotes from commontime.
If your wanting to sync on the move then you will need to use Msuite but your company will need to install the msuite software on a server to push the mail out.
Both work excellent but I prefer to use Msuite
Mnotes works great , but try as well the new solution direct from Lotus Notes. Lotus Traveller is a real notes client and does all kind of push mail , sync or text info messaging .
Works perfect with my notes 8 .
Like multi-plattform blackbery funcitionality but from Notes Native.
Hi,
my company migrated to Lotus Notes 6.5 (therefore i think i can't use Lotus Traveller)
Next problem. I've tried mNotes, but after i've installed it it tried to connect to the internet (if i click on the service in the right bottom corner and look on the first page).
Why does this tool wants to connect to the internet. To a CommonTime Switching Center (csc.commomtime.com)
I've thought the sync runs local????
Kind Regards

Oh God they Went TO Lotus Notes?
Time For a New Job.
First Act of my Reign When I came to my company, was to get us off Lotus Notes. I could never get it to work right On PCs, Let alone my Mobile.
My company use notes and I can't connect through the Wireless to the server and they wont pay for a data plan. So I installed outlook and used the Lotus Notes connector to sync all my contacts, calendar, and email to my phone. It kinda sucks. It would be nice to wirelessly sync all the time.
But hey it works.
I use Intellisync. It does not have the best of interfaces, but I successfully sync with Lotus Notes 7 and have done with 6.5 in the past.
Having said that, I am regularly complaining to our IT director about Notes. Awful program.
My company uses Lotus Notes 6.5.4. Everybody complains but I.T.'s response is "Notes is superior and has better blah blah blah stupid users we're not changing."
I use Commontime's mNotes to sync; if you pay for the subscription plan, you can also get push email. It's works good, but has minor flaws; for instance, I sync at home with Outlook, and occasionally notes within todo's are copied to Notes, and sometimes I get a "replication or save conflict" especially if I've been on the road using InOffice.
But Intellisync can't handle the home Outlook sync. It duplicates entries like crazy. If you're only syncing to a single desktop, Intellisync is good but with 2 desktops it's worthless.

Sounds like we might work for the same company!
I finally got fed up and set up a hosted Exchange account with Sherweb. I set up a rule in Lotus Notes to have all my emails automatically forwarded to the Sherweb account, and have an alias (my work email address) for the outgoing mail. Now I don't have to use Lotus Notes at all anymore because they give you Outlook 2007 for all your computers. I have push email and wireless syncing for calendar, contacts, and tasks, and couldn't be happier.
If you want to sync locally XTNDConnect PC is your program.

Easy Sync Pro works flawlessly for me. Why would anyone switch to Notes 6 when Notes 8 is the current version? makes no sense.
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.
Hello,
I love my Nexus. Now I got a blackberry from my work to have instant access to my emails.
Because I don't want to use the Blackberry and to keep my Nexus I need to get the same email function as the Blackberry.
Do you know if this is possible? I am no expert in things like this and it would be great if you can point me into the right direction.
My mobile contract has an internet flat and - I think so - a BB-option. AS Email-Client I am using Outlook.
Thanks for your help.

Your company probably uses a Blackberry Enterprise Server which allows emails to be delivered to the blackberry.
The email environment you use uses Activesync to deliver emails to windows mobile/activesync enabled phones such as Android. The BES and Activesync protocols are not compatible.
You should contact your exchange server administrator to see if activesync is allowed to be used within the company. More often than not, if they gave you a blackberry, activesync is probably disabled.
Is there any posibilities that when we configure everthıng on email setting for eXchange server(fOR OWA) on nexus one (stock frg83) easly transfer user name pass and all securty settings anda configure outlok or Thunderebirds ?
I dont have proxy adress and sec set. to configure it
I've looked at configuring mail and calendering other than with that-search-engine-everyone-uses.
There's an (expensive) app called Touchdown Exchange, which is supposed to handle all that for you M$ users.
Mozilla has a project called Raindrop which addresses mobile use, but nothing's released yet.
I really want calendaring. It seems most mobile uses are a client which syncs with some server, whether it's a corporate one (M$) or that-search-engine-everyone-uses which I hate. I want my emails, schedules, todos, etc on MY system for MY use through encrypted traffic. Still looking for a solution.
With my servers (on which I've run Linux for 14 years) a daemon like Apache will run on a given machine, and is presented to other machines through a reverse SSH tunnel. The remote machine reaches into its own bellybutton and finds the service on a local port. Filesystems are remotely presented using sshfs, but sshfs doesn't seem to be available for Android.
I’ve been on an Exchange server for over year. I’m on 2010 now and the transition of my Contacts & Calendar was not an issue when I moved from WM to my N1. In your >Accounts & Sync settings, I’ve turned Sync Off for the gmail account & left Sync On for the Exchange account. The native Calendar app is the only thing that needs major improvement. TouchDown provides more of feel of Outlook and the use of Notes and Tasks. I also connect either OWA or Outlook 2010.
Name: Bring The Wine (version 2.0)
Welcome to Bring The Wine, the task manager that syncs your phone with your Exchange account. Let's be honest, it's usually ok to forget the milk once in a while. But you should always remember to bring the wine to that party.

Why We Made It
I used Tasks on my Touch HD everyday, and one of the reasons I'm sticking with WM 6.5 is the lack of Exchange Task support. I realized MSFT isn't going to add this anytime soon, so some friends and I made one ourselves and share with you.
Bring The Wine allows you to sync tasks between Exchange Server and your Windows Phone. It's currently in an early stage, but more features will be added soon and kinks will be ironed out.
Bring The Wine support most Exchange installations. , as long as they're Exchange Server 2003 or later.
If you also want to sync tasks on your Windows Phone, give it a try! Any suggestion and feedback would be appreciated =)

That's what I've been waiting since I flashed WP7 on my HD2. Currently downloading. I will give feedback after I tested around a bit.
[Edit]
First feedback:
Sadly it can't connect to the server. I could probably be because my username differs from the first part of the E-Mail address. There shouldn't be any certificate issues since I installed them correctly and E-Mail, contacts and calender work just fine.
This application looks very promising. I have been looking for a way to synchronize tasks through with WP7 because I rely heavily one them. Unfortunately I can't synchronize my tasks with the program and I believe it may be due to the exchange server but it does function for me on Windows Mobile 6.5. My exchange is through Zimbra and I think I've read that Zimbra uses or is similar to Exchange 2003. Is there any possibility of adding support Zimbra?
@dkp1977
What error message did it say? Or if you can PM me your email address or the server URL you tried to connect, I'll check to see what might be the problem.
@oaa8
I'm not familiar with Zimbra. But if it uses Exchange Server 2003, then it's not supported, as Bring The Wine relies on some features that're only available on Exchange Server 2007 SP1 and newer versions.
Bring the wine - error message
PM is on its way. Thanks in advance, mate.
Though I don't use task much, but it works fine. Good job.!

Great, I've been looking for such app since I got my WP7.
I couldn't get it working with Hotmail (Live) account thou. When I type in m.hotmail.com as server name, the application responds:
"The server is not an Exchange Server."
I thought it should work with Hotmail account: http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2010/08/windows-live-hotmail-gets-exchange-activesync.ars
Self SSL
Hi!
Any chance to support self signed certificates? I read your first post and I acknowledged it but do you have any plan to implement it?
Regards
Cina.
@omikr0n:
Yes Hotmail does support Exchange ActiveSync, but it doesn't support some features Bring The Wine relies on (just like Exchange Server 2003). Currently we're not aware of any way to support them, but we are exploring other options.
@cina:
Self-signed certificate will be supported in version 0.3, which should be available on Marketplace within a week.
Somehow I can't connect to my mail server. Does it have to be https?? Because my outlook is setup as mobile.domain.com and for sure it it doesn't require a secure connection. All our phones work fine with that. But somehow I am getting the "An error has occured" error... By the way, the correct word is "occurred".
@vhaakmat:
Thanks for picking up the typo . Both HTTP and HTTPS work. If you can PM me your email and the mail server URL, I'll take a look =)
I'm in the same boat as dkp1977, my exchange account has a separate domain and user name to the email address, until it supports that I can't really use it.
I was looking forward to having an app that syncs exchange tasks.
Keep up the good work, i'll keep an eye out for when it supports my exchange server.
@feygor:
The domain name in your email doesn't have to be the same as your Exchange server (which I believe is a very common situation). My own email account is like that and Bring The Wine works for me (duh). If you could PM me your email and your mail server, I'll take a look. One thing to note though, currently Bring The Wine will not work if there's a certificate error (self-signed, expired, name doesn't match...etc). It might be the cause of your case. The next update of Bring The Wine will have an option to ignore certificate errors.
@ithinkurdumb
0.3 works fine now, thank you very much. I had to use my username instead of my email though.
The app is really great, but I miss some features that might make their ways into one of the next releases:
- the ability to delete a task
- bring the wine should be able to sync tasks on load
- start and due dates should be visible. Either in a smaller font beneath the task text in the overview or somewhere in the task details
- HTML elements should be stripped from the task descriptions
I know bring the wine is in an early state. Consider it as sort of a wish list. Whatever, it's a really great app that should have been part of WP7. Thank you for all the effort you put into this.
@dkp1977
Glad that v0.3 works for you. The username/email should be a domain thing and shouldn't be different in Bring The Wine than elsewhere. But as long as it works...
Thank you for the suggestions. We actually got similar suggestions from other users as well. #1, #3 and #4 are under development and will be available soon. Could you explain what did you mean by "sync on load" though?

Currently there are no tasks shown when you start the app. I would like the app to immediately sync tasks at the very start.
Exchange 2003
Any chance for Exchange 2003 support?
Regards,
Cina.
One More
It would be nice to decide the length of time for visible tasks. For instance, if you have repeating tasks every month, you only want to see one occurrence of each. Also order by due date, importance, etc.
Just my 2 cents.
very nice start to a very useful app.
Thank you
Is it possible to retain settings after update?
@dkp1977:
We're currently working on a new feature that will allow tasks to be load instantly after the app starts.
@cina:
We do plan to support Exchange 2003 and other services that support ActiveSync (such as Hotmail). But unfortuantely we don't have a timeline for that.
@Wind Dancer:
Didn't know you can have spaces in your XDA screenname . We're working on this and should be available in the next version.
Settings should be retained during upgrades. However from v0.2 to v0.3 we changed several structures so old settings are erased. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Brine The Wine 0.4 is now available
Brine The Wine 0.4 is now available on Marketplace.
New features include cache support and a tweaked interface. With cache support, users will be able to view, add or update tasks without internet connection. Changes made offline will be synced once the phone is connected again. The new home screen now show incomplete tasks ("to-do" in Outlook) and all tasks seperately.
