I have a XDA II and the Outlook Calender is driving me nuts. The dates keep disapearing. they appear still to be on the PDA as the reminder still works and they do transfer to my PC. They just do not appear in outlook at all.
They seem to have dissapeared after I reset the PDA and I do not know how to get them back as there is nothing in options, as far as I can see to switch them on and off.
Please if anyone knows how to remedy this I'd be most greatful.

I don't know if this is the best place to post but I'd be grateful for any suggestions.
A number of my Outlook contacts have Birthdays entered in the Birthday field with a 7 day reminder. Although I only get 1 reminder in Outlook on the TyTn I get 3 reminders for the same event at the same time (it used to be 2 but it's never been only 1!).
I know I don't have duplicate events in Outlook because I've checked.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
I had the same problem. It was caused by multiple backing up and restores under different regional settings.
Solution:
Remove all calendar events (SKTools), kill the partnership, resyncronize. Don't play with regional settings.
Hi,
The main "Mail" tab of TouchFlo does show the number of unread emails in Outlook account but it doesn't show the Outlook E-mail icon in the list.
The POP accounts do have their individual icon in this tab.
I've been looking in the forum for a discussion around this issue but I couldn't find any.
Thanks in advance for help,
Cristian
Same here
Sorry - no solution. Just the same problem with my TP as well... The outlook account disappeared after an incomplete Sync with the PC during which the USB connection broke down.
Hi, had the same problem with my gmail imap account. I used MailAccountRepair with success.
http://freewareppc.com/communication/mailaccountrepair.shtml
Thanks for the hint - no change though. The problem is not within Pocket Outlook, just in the email tab in TF3D.
bumping this thread, I just encountered this issue and tried the mailrepair tool with no success, even delete the activesync and recreated it. still only icon for hotmail visible only... Someone has to have another solution..
THis has occured to me again> Any other solutions?? Bump..
Anybody? Last time I restored from a backup, want to avoid that step.
I got my Outlook account to appear in TouchFlo3D by enabling and disabling Email sync through activesync
Hi, i'm having a weird issues with birthdays reminders.
I have Outlook 2007, i set there all birthdays and sync with the HD. I've checked and the reminder is set in Outlook, the birthdays appear on HD on contact details, i just don't get a reminder(i don't mind 23:45 hour).
I've ended the partnership and created a new one, still the same.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
LE: I get the reminders on my desktop from Outlook
I have got the same problem! Someone got an idea?
Funny that on the HD, notifications for all day appointments are created as "calendar.exe /allday".
On most other devices, the " /allday" command line is absent...
Maybe this is the issue?
By the way, SKTools previously reposted such notifications as bad. Then I contacted SK, and he added this type of notifications as a valid type.
Hello all,
It seems that TD2 does not insert birthdays from contacts in the agenda. The solutions would be that you manually add them to the agenda (of course not a real option) or sync contacts with Outlook, which will put them into agenda as well. I personally would prefer not to use Outlook for my contacts.
Is there a fix that birthdays are automatically put in agenda as well?
Thanks!
Am I really the only one who is waiting for an answer?
The TD2 does not, as you say, add birthdays into the Calendar, but Outlook does, and these birthday calendar entries then get synchronized back to the TD2.
The only way I can see a "fix" coming is by programming an app for the TD2 which scans contacts and inserts the birthdays into the calendar, checking of course that they're not already there - I guess this would need to be run manually every time you add a new birthday into a contact, or at least periodically (maybe it could run in background once per day), but as far as I know no such app exists yet.
To my mind, synching with Outlook is the best way, because not only does it solve the problem very well, it also means you have a backup of all your contacts and calendar entries. To me it's a no-brainer.
I've just had a quick check on my calendar and all my contacts birthdays are in there. Even anniversarys are showing

Yep - you synch with Outlook, correct?
I am syncing with outlook, I have been for some devices now. So the birthday reminders are showing up as allday appointments in my calendar. The reminder time for all those birthdays is 2 days in advance, the calendar shows all that correctly. However, I never get one of those reminders!! All other appointment reminders work fine and so do the task reminders, so there's nothing wrong with my notification queue. But the birtday reminders aren't popping up. On my old cruise I got a reminder two days in advance AND on the birthday itself. Now I get none of them.
What's causing this? Can anyone confirm that you have or don't have birthday reminders? I'd appreciate any reactions.
I've found this information in the blackstone forum. I can see that D2 is adding "calendar.exe /allday" notifications to the queue too. I guess memmaid, which I'm using, deletes those notifications.
It was indeed Memmaid that caused the problem, deleting the /allday notifications. I e-mailed their support, hoping they'll fix it. In the mean time, I excluded all notification queue maintenance from the cleaning schedule and recreated the notifications for all my birthdays via ActiveSync.

I'm really annoyed with this problem too. The bigger problem is I'm using an Apple macbook to sync, so using Outlook is out of the question. Looks like I'll have to add all the reminder myself
Having a look around the forum, there appears not to be a quick and easy solution to this.
It's not ideal to have birthdays in your contacts and then separately add them in your calendar as appointments (like others, I think it defeats the objective).
There is a software, not yet tried it: http://www.xoddy.com/products/
but it says its only for WM5, not sure if WM6 will support.
Looking forward to an answer or someone to develop a simple software that will resolve the issue - apologises I don't have the knowledge to do this.

That's one of the penalties of not using a single-vendor solution. If you used Microsoft Outlook with your Microsoft WM phone, you'd be fine. Using an Apple computer with a Microsoft phone OS, you're bound to hit some snags.
I'm sure it's the same for people using iPhones with Windows PCs. Manufacturers tend to make their own products work better together than they do with the competition's products, which makes sense!

I use syncmate to sync ical and address book, within ical prefs, you can show birthdays, these will then sync onto phone
I used to sync with outlook, but it had a habit of changing appointment/birthday dates, usually makes them a day earlier, but only for some, have had no probs with syncmate
Hi
I'm working on a program which will provide various notification related functions not normally included on Windows Mobile.
1) Will add contact's birthdays and anniversaries into the calendar.
2) Will give audible alerts at regular intervals like most mobile phones for text messages/missed calls/emails to get your attention.
3) Option to silence the alerts during the night at a schedule you can select, plus also turn the phone off over night and turn on the next day, good for battery life.
I'll post when it is finished.
Regards
Phil
sounds great!!!
sounds great ... Have you just begun or are you about to finish?
Hi
It is almost finished, I'm just testing it at the moment. It's based an application I did for the Kaiser.
Regards
Phil
Sounds good PhilipL!
I already programmed a solution for this, which will add all birthday reminders to your calendar (without the need for outlook) but it's in german. I'll translate and upload it shortly.
Here it is BirthdaysToCalendar, derived from a sample application included in MS Visual Studio 2008. It will add all or selected birthdays to your calendar.
The program offers a few choices, either add all birthdays to the calendar in one go or let it ask in single steps for each contact's birthday to be added or not. Set the reminder time (time you will be informed prior to the birthday) in minutes. 1 day would be 1440min. , 2 days 2880 min. and so forth. On top you can have the birth year added to the subject, so you will know how old they'll be.
No duplicates will be generated if the program is run again. However, if you have a birthday alert set up manually yourself, but they are not in the the same form (John Doe's Birthday or Birthday John Doe) they will be duplicated.
