H!
I have some questions, I tried doing it again and again but can't do it the right way..
I installed outlook hotmail connector, then logged in my live.com account, then dragged the contact form my outlook to live.com contacts, I logged in to my account via IE and didn't see any contacts, it says 0. After sometime, the "people" tile was full of my contacts, which I believe I dragged from outlook. Upon logging on, contact list of live.com still empty. I also tried adding a new contact on my phone, but that certain contact didn't appear on my outlook.
I am quite confused on how this connector works.
By the way , I am using 2 different live.com accounts. 1 for the signing in of marketplace, and 2nd for people tile.

A bit confusing how you say it but let me explain this way.
I know there is a way to do a direct sync via out look from comp to phone, no clue how I personally dont use that way.
Via Live.com:
Export all of your contact in Outlook a .csv file.
Save it on your desk top.
Log in to Live account on your computer, go to contact, there is an import option. When the browser opens up to find the file, locate it and import them.
THen on your phone, go to settings, then emails & accounts.
Select add new account
Select Windows Live
Log in using the SAME ACCOUNT as what you used to log into live.com on your computer.
It will auto set up and then ask you to set what to sync:
Emails, Contact, calendar, pictures
Select what you need, make sure you select Contacts.
Then sync the account and ur contacts will import from Live.com to your phone.
In your account setting on phone, select how often you want it to sync, remember the more often the more battery it uses.
So if you add a new contact, on next sync that contact will appear on your account when you log into live.com
Most important , use the same account.
I think Outlook Hotmail connector must sync with my live.com account without doing any importation of .csv files, in CSV files, how will picture be synced?
By the way I understand the Hotmail connector works, it must :
1.) automatically sync my contacts under live.com account on outlook without doing any importation process.
2.) since phone's contact list syncs sith live.com so it must update it self when I add new contacts.

I am sure there is a way to use Outlook hotmail sync but I cant get out look to work even with my HD2, always tells me its not there even though it is.
So I moved uploaded my contacts from HD2 ( would not upload to live.com) to google then moved them from google to hotmail then to new phone.
Pictures are part of what you select on hotmail sync but i dont have any here het to sync, so have not transfered pix from HD2 yet cause i cant get Zune to install on my box, not sure why, clean copy of Windows 7, only installed two months ago. gives me some error.
for pictures you take on teh HD7, its auto set to auto upload them to cloud sky drive, you can disable that and do it manually, its default to do it once ever so often or u can do it as soon as you take the pic.
Hope that helps

I had a similar problem. You need to delete the browsing history of Internet Explorer, then close Internet Explorer, then sign-in again to your Windows Live account and then you will see your contacts. I noticed on some occassions that there are sync issues within Internet Explorer and Outlook open at the same time. But closing and deleting the browsing history of Internet Explorer seemed to work for me.
I followed method 2 from this article and worked like a charm....

I've had and still have the same problem. The contacts are there in Live, if I try to edit or delete the whole lot it tells me how many are there, but if I click on contacts, it tells me I have zero contacts and asks if I want to import them from somewhere.
I have contacted microsoft support but have not gotten an answer yet.
And I imported mine from gmail (3 times) because I didn't know they had come across.
I believe that this set-up is the worst piece of garbage microsoft idiots could setup. PLEASE idiots of microsoft go back to activesync ....
To sync your live (imported from outlook) contacts and live calendar with outlook 2010, you just need to create your live account with connector in outlook and then set under settings as default datafile and if you want as your default e-mail.

Hi Everyone
First post so please go easy.
I hae set up my new tytnII for email, with two pop3 accounts and set it to synch with my outlook email on my laptop.
What I would like to do is to set the device to merge the pop3 email accounts into my outlook section and folder lists so that i can download emails on the device and then when i synch it all matches up. Otherwise I will get duplication on the device I think.
If I tap and hold on an email in a pop3 account folder i can move it to another folder in the same account folders but not to other pop3/outlook folders.
Can this be done?
Thanks
Tom
You won't get duplication. The e-mail you sync from your PC is entirely separate from e-mail you download directly. So you'll get each message exactly once on each platform that you pull it from. You'll probably want to make sure that the TyTN II is set not to delete messages when it retrieves them. But the sync won't cause the message to show twice on the PC - it's treated as a completely different message in a completely different data store.
Hi
I have been looking into this a little further and have found that if I run my email account by IMAP settings this synchronises with my online email account and so far works very well.
I have also done this with my outlook email on my laptop and this makes life much easier!!
So everytime I synch with either device with the IMAP settings regardless of where I read the email it changes its status etc on each device and online.
Awesome.
Cheers for your help.

Somehow I screwed up the setup of my tilt, and the tilt thought it was syncing with 2 different computers with the same name, but I only sync with my laptop. I fixed that, and the tilt thinks it syncs with only one computer.
I have two email accounts: both are active, but are pretty much interchangeable. Both accounts put emails into the same Outlook inbox. Before I fixed the problem mentioned above, I had three email folders or accounts on my tilt. One got email from my first account, one got email from my second account, and one was what I had on my laptop. When I would sync up, the emails in the first and second account would disappear and be moved to the account called "Outlook." That was fine with me. I file all my emails on the laptop, so no problems. The only glitch was I couldn't reply from emails filed in the Outlook box, but I fixed that. But now the emails in my first account aren't moving over, so that inbox on the tilt is filling up, and the emails are duplicated in my Outlook inbox on the tilt. I can't figure out how to get my first account to sync up. Can anyone help me? Do I need to create a 'second' computer again?
Thanks again for all the help here.

Ummm try this I don't know if it will help. But open up your Outlook Inbox
Hit Menu
Tools
Manage Folders
There should be boxes in there that may not be checked. Check them and see if that helps your problem.
I don't seem to have the Manage Folders option.
I've looked around a lot but I can't find this specific issue mentioned.
My Diamond currently syncs well with my outlook, which receives emails from a few accounts and aggregates them in one inbox. This is good because I'm able to take them with me anywhere.
What I want is for the Diamond to also be able to download mail from my gmail account - which it does without a hitch - but this means I won't get that email in my desktop inbox. When connecting the device and starting activesync, it will pull new messages from my desktop index, but instead of moving the gmail stuff to the desktop, it just deletes all messages completely and there's no trace of them anywhere.
Is there a way to attach an account to the "outlook inbox" so that the gmail mails I download are added to it instead of to a new account? If not, is there any way to synchronize that new account to my desktop inbox instead?
This sounds very trivial, but I can't get it to work.
I am using Dutty's latest ROM (3.6b).
Email settings...
Have a look in your email settings on your device for your gmail account. At the bottom of one of the pages you'll see underlined 'Advanced Settings'. Tap on this and change the setting to 'Leave on server'. This way, you can receive it on your device, but when you check your mail back at your desktop, it will be there too.
Look under Send/Receive Settings?
That's the option currently set, and it does indeed leave the messages on gmail, but they are not automatically downloaded to my desktop if they were already downloaded to the Diamond.
I don't understand why it doesn't synchronize them with outlook on my computer...
Oh?

I'm sure why that is then. I use Tiscali email, and that downloads to my desktop whether I've already viewed them on my device or not. Perhaps someone else who uses gmail can help you... strange
in gmail, even if u leave the emails in the server, they wont be downloaded more than once. i know that, i am using a gmail account with my office pc as well as my home pc. and if i download an email from gmail using one of the two pc's, i cant download it again using the other pc, unless i go into the gmail server and "refresh" all emails making them as new. Same of course applies if you use a win mobile system.
Solution? yep and pretty simple. Have a new account in an exchange server, which can sync with your diamond. Have all your emails forwarded to this account. My diamond syncs only with my push-emailing exchange server, whilst all other accounts of mine are set in order to forward copies to the exchange server.
dunno if i made myself sufficiently clear... ?
How do I uhh.. set up an exchange server?
Is it seriously impossible to synch email I receive on the phone with desktop outlook? This is stupid. :/ One of the reasons I got the phone was that I could get emails everywhere, but it's useless if not only it doesn't synch it with the computer, but it deletes these mails automatically.....

i opened an account in a microsoft exchange server, to which i forward all my emails from other accounts. Also all my contacts and to-do list are in this exchange server, and are sync together with outlook in my other two computers (+diamond). I do so not just for sync but also because this is the best way for getting push-emailing... meaning my diamond gets the email right in the moment i receive it.
btw u can get a free email account in the following exchange server: http://live.mail2web.com/
Do you have imap enabled or just pop3? If you let the phone automatically setup your email then it will automatically chose pop3. Don't enter your email adress when configuring your gmail because it automatically sets up everything. Just enter something like [email protected] and it should give you the option to choose imap.
And make sure your computer also uses imap.
Ok so I've had my Kaiser for a few days now. Apparently you have to have outlook to sync contacts from your pc. Well I have a CSV file full of my contact from my old phone. BUT i don't have outlook. I don't want to buy outlook. I have outlook express, windows contacts. (I don't see why i have to buy outlook but whatever). So I found an alternative to outlook, Google Sync. Seems to work ok. I just had to fully update my contacts on google. ANYHOW does any use this to sync contacts? If so is there a way to push contact updates from phone to Google contacts. I only seem to be able to push contacts from Google to my phone. Thanks.
NICE, is this done online?
Is it done online? It uses exchange server. It takes your google contacts and syncs them to your phone. But what happens if you add a contact to your phone? I don't think it updates your Google contacts, or at least I can't figure out how. Seems kinda pointless if you cant sync contacts both ways. But what else is someone supposed to do if they don't have outlook?
I use Google sync and the contacts transfer from my phone back to Google and vice versa. It's only the contacts saved on my phone though, not the SIM.
hi i have a problem here
I use to save new contacts in the HD7, assuming it will update the HOTMAIL contacts database when i sync the account
but now I look that it doesnt sync the contacs to my HOTMAIL account and also it erase the contacts (from HD7) that i dont have in the HOTMAIL account
how do i can solve this?
i mean, i dont want to be updating HOTMAIL contact list one by one....
WP7 is starting tu upset me
Is hotmail the only email account you have it set up for? Exchange, Gmail, anything like that?
Either way, go to Setting --> Email and Accounts -->Windows Live and see what is set up to sync.
I have 2 hotmail accounts one for the contacts that i dont use for email
and one for the email...
but in no one update the contacts...
in the "primary" (Contacts) one... it only have the option to sync email

When you Edit a contact, it should give you an option to choose which account the contact you want to edit is from, provided that you have multiple contacts linked up and sync'd to multiple accounts.
If you only have 1 account that sync contacts, your phone should automatically be editing that contact on that 1 account, and it should update to the server almost immediately.
If you have no accounts that are syncing contacts (including no initial Windows Live ID tied to the phone), then your contacts will save to your device.
At least thats how it is supposed to be working.
I've never had any issues syncing to my Hotmail Contacts account. It has worked flawlessly since day 1.
I've never had a any luck syncing contacts to my hotmail account. I even lost 75% of them cos i got frustrated and decided to flash my phone regardless.
My friend uses hotmail to sync his contacts and he was saying yesterday something about him having to log on to his hotmail account on a desktop pc before his contacts would sync. I'll try and find out more about what he meant cos it didn't make much sense to me.
I use my gmail account to sync contacts now and I must admit it's been flawless. ever contact I create on my phone gets synced to my gmail account. Who'd have thought that would work better than MS's own hotmail?
