No, unless you have a MSFT account, or you are refering to Outlook web, not email client.

Exchange sync

Hi guys,
I don't really know if this is the right place to post. If it isn't, please move it to the right section.
After almost two days I've been able to make the MS direct push work with my Kaiser and my exchange server.
One think I've noticed so far is that if I get an email and this email is moved to a folder by a rule, I will still get it on my kaiser, but it won't notify it by playing the sound neither showing the email counter on the home screen.
Anybody knows if it is possible to solve this issue?
Thanks.
which version did you use
hi,
which version did you use exchange 2003 or exchane 2007
if you use exchange 2007 you have to put your certificate on your phone
else it will NOT work
believe me i also got i working after a couple of days
now i am using exchange 2007 with all the options running !!

I'm using Exchange 2003 SP2.
By the way, it IS actually working, just I don't get any notice about the new emails that go directly in some folders.
I wrote to one of the Microsoft windows Mobile developers Jason Langridge (http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonlan/default.aspx ) a while back about this and it is not currently possible to be notified with WM6 or 6.1. It is something they are going to consider for WM7 which isn't really helpful to your cause.
I hadn't seen this before, but maybe this is what you are looking for http://www.watchflag.com/home
Flexmail 4 might be able to do it: http://www.pocketinformant.com/products_info.php?p_id=mail&dir=wm although there was a problem with MAPI last time I looked.

How do you create or put your certificate on your phone? I have the same problem with Exchange 2007.

The basics of it are to open your Outlook Web Access page on your PC and 'export' the certificate by clicking on the padlock on the bottle right of the window. Then copy this certificate to your Kaiser, and assuming you are using a ROM from these forums you should be able to just open it in File Explorer and your'll get a message saying the certicate was installed successfully.

[Q] How can I make Kies sync contact pictures from Outlook

I have searched on Google and on xda forum about this and only found old thread with no resolution and there is so little person who asks the question that maybe it's not a problem everyone have.
I have Outlook 2010 x64 on a win 7 x64 PC. Kies installed and updated and my contacts sync wonderfully except for the contact pictures. So in my outlook I have all my contact database and a picture affiliated. Unfortunatly they aren't pushed to my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 Vibrant via Kies.
There is a workaround which require to sync contact to gmail and after sync my phone with gmail, but that ain't no solution for me for many reasons. For now I just handle my contact with no pics, but if someone may had a solution to this, it would be nice.
Good question.

[Q] HTC HD7 Outlook synchronization not possible

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

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.

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.

[Q] Vivid Sync and Network Issues

When you say Outlook, do you just mean exchange? My Vivid syncs just fine with my companies exchange server.

He's referring to the computer program HTC Sync.
<Removed>
When I try to Synch, it shows no device connected; even though the Vivid is connected by the USB cable and the phone is set for USB Debugging. I'm using the latest HTC Synch software as downloaded from the HTC website.
Post Edit. I found the solution. Not sure how to repeat it, though. This phone can be very confusing at time.
Got HTC Sync Working - Finally
I downloaded and installed the latest HTC Sync from the HTC web site because I want to sync my Outlook data with my Vivid as I did with my old HTC HD2 (Windows Mobile 6). It took several tries. The main problem seemd to be that it took the phone and Sync several minutes to finally establish a connection. I had been thinking it was not working, so I was stopping the program. Once I just left it alone on both the PC and phone, it finally connected, and then I was able to set it up.
It found and sync'd my Outlook 2007 (not Express) contacts and calendar. It would NOT sync my Outlook Tasks and Notes. The HTC rep I contacted said that was by design. They are pushing the Google method of syncing data. So, I will have to find a work-around for my Tasks and Notes -- probably Evernote, which I already use. I'm not quite ready to sell out totally to Google.
<Removed>
I am in the same boat with my HTC amaze. First hand I hate this phone but hey you know i like new toys. Apps suck under droid vs iphone but let me stop going off topic. I also wonder why HTC sync is only showing outlook express. And NO I will NEVER allow my info to go onto google. I don't trust the people near me why would I trust them ?
I tried android-sync and it never connected. about to try comanionlink hopefully it can share some insight but dont wish to pay $49.99 for a program after buying a $600.00 phone.
Mr " brucegil " How did you get it to sync to outlook not " outlook express ". Please share that trick with the rest of us .

I apologize for just now responding to your question. I don't know any trick. When I finally got HTC Sync on the PC and the Vivid to connect, HTC Sync displayed a screen for me to set up when items I wanted to sync. For Calendar and Contacts, the dropdown lists had Outlook and Windows Calendar/Contacts. I chose Outlook. I assume that Outlook was a choice because I had it installed, and I did not have Outlook Express installed. Note that Outlook was installed locally and was not the server-based Exchange that businesses use. Syncing to that requires a different process.

Best program to sync Outlook Calendar via USB?

Hey everyone... I've got a Nexus 6 I use for work and unfortunately we don't have an Exchange Server to globally sync calendars. The only workaround is to manually sync Outlook with my phone via USB on my work computer.
Because I don't know what the best solution/software for this problem is, I welcome any suggestions on what people here are using. Thank you in advance!
