MDAc and SyncML or sync with Webmail (Squirrelmail/Horde/.)? - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Moin..
I read several times, that the MDA compact is ready for syncML, but never read anything further like software or howtos. So, does anybody have further information concerning that ?
What I want to do with it: I want to set up a webmailing application on my linux machine, where i can store my contacts and calendar (and of course mail with it ). And i want to synch these contacts/calendar with my MDA compact. I read, that the Horde frameworks supports syncML, so that might be the ideal combination
I haven't installed/configured anything yet, so i am absolutely open for any suggestion about this topic. For example, I do prefer squirrelmail als my webmail application, but haven't found anything how i might to synch my MDA compact with that. I also would have no problem with a "workaround" .. like sync the webmail data with outlook and then sync my MDA with outlook, as long as i have my data accesable/modifiable with my webmailer and MDA compact.
So thanks in advance for any suggestion.
greetings gribble, MDAc newbie

I'm not sure this will fix your problem, but it has worked for me on my jasjar and my wifes MDA Pro, but it is crude and tiresome. I have the same problem on my newly formatted PC but my wife syncs her MDA Pro with her laptop no problem. However Active sync always runs in the background on our Universals.
1: Uninstall Activesync on your PC and delete the Active sync folder in your programs folder, then re-boot PC.
2: Meanwhile on your MDA Pro, start up Activesync and go to menu/options and delete the relationship, so there is effectively nothing to sync with on the Pro. This should stop it from popping up all the time, but has the obvious drawback that you cannot keep synchronising your data, contacts and appointments etc.
3: Re-install Activesync on PC and connect your MDA to establish new partnership. You will now be able to sync and install software, but after this sync (if you have the same problem as me, you won't be able to again unless you repeat steps 1-3).
I know this is not a good solution, especially if you have to synchronise vital data with PC and Pro, but this is sufficient for now, for the purpose of installing new applications that have no .cab files that you can copy to SD card.
Hope this helps a little.
Thanks for your hint. it is exactly as you said!
after deleteing the profiles i can sync ALL information on my device.
at the next time i cant sync because no connection is possible ;-(
the question i have is:
is my device damaged or is the active sync software the problem?
how did you solve the problem at last ?
Hi Folks,
i have now another device with WM2005 (Wizard) and nearly the same problems with active Sync!
as nobody wrote to my thread i hope that everybody of you can sync his WM2005 device!?
Whats about access databases?
i use german version of active sync 4.0.0 Build 4343. is there any newer versions that work better than mine?

Not to discourage anyone, but I'm running AS 4.1 and I still have the exact same symptoms. I've already de-installed everything (including old drivers and purging old ActiveSync registry settings, removing old directories, etc) and re-installed, but synchronization is more of a hit-and-(mostly)-miss affair.
Thank god for Exchange ActiveSync and unlimited GPRS plans...

8503001c Error
I have an O2 XDAII (with WM 2005) and I get this error message when I try using Activesync4.1 as well. The Activesync I am using is downloaded from MSFT. I have tried all the other suggestions in this forum but there are not fixes that can be had by following those suggestions. The one thing I can say is that it has to do with email in my situation. If I sync everything except for Email, then my activesync works... PLEASE HELP!
Geez! Freakin' Microsoft, seriously! I hope they read this forum.
I keep losing the ability to sync at some point. I don't know what's causing that. I now think that it happens when the phone locks up and you have to use the hardware reset button instead of a software button on your screen.
Considering how many people have this problem, you'd think M$ would do something about it.
The error code is 8503001c
I forgot to mention one important point. The error code is 8503001c. Buzz, help us! Isn't there some way to do a search through the binearies to find the explanation or reason for this error code ? That would probably give us a specific reasonj as to what the issue is, tand then we could rectify it -

How to synchronize with Lotus Notes (+)

I've downloaded last version of Lotus Easy Sync Pro (4.2.3), but it doesn't support WM5 and i seems to me, that IBM stopped development of further versions
Does anybody know alternative products, which can synchronize data between WM5 device and Lotus Notes, particularly phonebook and diary.
Try this http://www.ianywhere.com/products/xtndconnect_pc.html
I would encourage you to try mnotes at www.commontime.com. I've used it for a couple of years with great success.
I've used Intellisync to link my Wizard with Lotus Notes 5.
http://www.intellisync.com/pages/Products/Intellisync-Handheld-Edition/
Intellisynch
Hello,
Do you know where I could find this intellisynch version plse ?
Thx.
Commontime mNotes works the best IMO.
I did try...
I did try, but for an unknown reason, the mnotes server does not start. I have the status : "mNotes Server: Error".
Would you have an idea ?
What is more, in the Communications Tab, the method is TCP/IP on the port 603. I cannot change it knowing the pocket pc (rw6828) is connected through active sync USB. I am lost. Thanks for your help.
I use Doublelook by Companionlink Software, it syncs the notes address book & calendar with MS Outlook. Changes made in either are reflected in the other, then outlook is synced with the MDA. Works well but only at your desk, it's not like a Blackberry where all this is wireless, in real time, that's a whole other kettle of fish.
I think commontime's mnotes is by far the best solution that I've worked with. Provided me with the fastest and most robust sync with lotus notes.
Lotus Easy Sync Pro 4.2.4 Beta support WM5.0 now

Thanks. I installed it and I am told when I start synchronizing that:
"Unable to connect to device. Verify that Activesync is running"
Useless to say that Activesync is running and that the device is seen as connected. Is there something more to do (on activesynch or easysyncpro) ?
Thx.
Can someone give me a link where I can download commontime plse, with a serial nbr ? I did from the commontime web site and it does not work. I am running Lotus Notes R5.0.12 and windows mobile 5 on my rw6828 ?
Thanks for your help?
While we're on the topic of Lotus Notes, does anyone know if it would cause harm or headaches to synchronise with notes at work (I don't know why we ever got rid of outlook! ) then, synchronise with Outlook at home?
I'd like to get my work appointments synchronised, and contacts (I have loads of friends email addresses at work but not at home).
Would be very handy - but I'm too scared it'll all go horribly wrong! :lol:
The only issue I had was making sure all the private items were tagged private. I didn't initially check for this and after the sync all my misc stuff was posted on my calendar for all to see, took some time deleting it all. But I do this now all the time & sync Notes & Outlook via Doublelook to my laptop at work and then to the home PC. No real problems other than our brain dead IS department won't let us acess the blackberry server to do it in real time but that's another kettle of fish.
Any help on my post plse ?
Would appreciate a link ;-)
Thanks !
Have anyof of you run into the problem where Outlook refuses to open because of this error " Unable to open your default e-mail folders. Unexpected error has occured. MAPI was unable to load the infoemation service nwnsp.dll Be sure the service is currently installed and configured."
I've tried most of the fixes that made sense that came up on google.
I use mnotes and it works perfect except for the email sysnc from Lotus. Thanks in advance for any help.

BlackBerry Connect Will Not Install on Vodafone UK V1605

Followed the wiki instructions, but despite being sourced from Vodafone (Germany) for the VPA III, the software refuses to install on my V1605. The error message (translated from German) states System Software Found, the installation is not authorised.
Has anyone with a V1605 succeeded in installing BB Connect? Is this a possible clash with the Vodafone customisations or is it more likely a WM5 issue? Any suggestions gratefully received.
many thanks!
Jonathan
There is another BlackBerry connect client on the FTP, uploaded by Ice Blade and some discussion around it here.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Tools_and_Programs/BlackBerry_Connect/
I've just updated the wiki with this info, but I haven't tried it and Ice Blade didn't reply to my question. If you try it and know the diference between the two BBConnect clients available, please update de wiki and point it out. Thanks.
Thanks! This works a treat. I will take a look at the wiki and see if there is anything substantive I can add.
Jonathan
wiki has been updated. Works well. I am not watching this thread so if anyone would like assistance please PM me.
blackberry connect and Lotus Notes
Hi JBN - do you know if this works with Lotus Notes and handles calender and tasks along with mail - I'd love to finally junk the blackberry and just have Hermes
ramblings
I'm afraid that I have no experience with Lotus Notes at this level. I would note however that the BlackBerry Enterprise can indeed work with Lotus Notes.
For what it's worth, my BES Administrator tells me that the same level of security functionality exists for BlackBerry Connect as for a regular BB. This makes it an interesting proposition although more difficult to support in terms of the platform compared with BlackBerry. We are slowly looking at Microsoft Push E-mail instead.
Despite the BB-like experience, including the scroll wheel, after a couple of days I have gone back to my old BB. The reason being that I am unsure about battery life and platform stability. It is OK for me as an IT professional but not something that I feel comfortable deploying to our users yet. However, I am childishly excited at having a means to get BB service in Japan!
Blackberry Connect and Calendar

I have been running Blackberry Connect for a while now on both my HTC Universal and on a TyTn (not at the same time). Whilst email works really well (using the vodafone Germany client), calendar is a different story.
Our Blackberry environment is Lotus Dominos (BES 4.0) and Calendar wireless sync has been a disaster.
Initially, the bulk calendar upload seems to have real trouble with "All Day Events" and canot represent them properly. However, once installed, everything seems to run really well. Two way sync back to teh Lotus Notes Calendar works, meetings invites in email can now be "accepted" or "declined". So far, so good....
However, when you reset the device, the whole device locks up and needs teh SIM taking out, BB Connect removing and start again!! Also, when you do this, random calendr events dissapear from your Notes calendar and meeting "declines" are often sent to the chair of the meeting!
Not good.
Hopefully BB Connect V4 will solve some of this....

Application/Software to Update PIM on PC?

Is there an application (other than MS Outlook via ActiveSync) that allows you to load the PIM file onto your PC and update/edit via the PC?
Please don't say use ActiveSync. I have not been able to Sync since 9/06. I have posted my ActiveSync problem (many times) on this site and on HowardForums and have not resolved it. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your reply. However, I would still like to find another solution to edit/change my PIM on my PC with a specific application as I store my PIM backup on my 1Gb Card. Thanks again!

Ok, this isn't exactly what you asked for but there are some other options... You can use SyncML to sync your contacts, address book, tasks with a remote server (depending on the service you sync with is whether you can edit it on the server). To do this though, requires you to find a SyncML Client for PPC (since its not built into Windows Mobile (stupid Microsoft who thinks the entire world lives on Outlook and Exchange)). I've only used Sythesis SyncML (Its what we use in my company to sync with our servers). This is not a free program, but the basic version is only like $25. You can google to see if you can find other clients.
Then you need a server to sync with. Here's a couple I've heard about (and are supposed to be free). I've never used them myself so can't comment on how well they work:
http://www.o-sync.com/
https://zyb.com/
If you use Google for Calendar (I don't think it does address book) you can use:
https://www.goosync.com/
This (from the pictures) appears to be the Synthesis client (probably modified for GooSync). Not sure if you can customize it for other services or if it will only do calendar as I haven't installed it.
Again, I know its not exactly what you asked for, but it is a way to sync outside of the USB cable. My company uses Oracle Collabsuite (seeing how I work for Oracle, that makes sense ) and I use SyncML all the time on my Cingular 8125 via Synthesis SyncML client. Works great (most of the time) and allows me to keep my calendar, tasks, and contacts sync'd with no attachment to a PC (so I can sync in my car, while in a waiting room, or wherever).

Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to provide a possible solution for my request. I will look into this and see if it will be a viable solution.
I was hoping that I could find a quick solution such as an application that would allow me to download a PIM file and edit it on my PC. However, I can see that there is no such thing at the present time.
Thank you again for your time and effort. I greatly appreciate it!

Is the Oracle calendar sometimes called "Corporate Calendar"?
A non-techy friend of mine asked me if she could sync her work PIM to an 8125 (they use what she calls "Corporate Calendar" at work... goggling seems to imply it _might_ be from Oracle, but I'm still not sure)....
This was the thread I could find that seems close... I've had a hard time getting much more info from her, as she's really not technical (but still trying to figure out what I can for her).
Thanks,
Mike

Using funambol to sync thunderbird and 8525

Hi. I currently have an 8525 and have been using Outlook + Activesync
for a while now.
However, I recently downloaded Thunderbird and find it much more
intuitive than Outlook.
I wanted to know how to are sync thunderbird to my 8525.
I'm not very familiar on setting up "servers" so I would really
appreciate the help.
If you need, my AIM is "samz465".
A response back is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
-Samad
Hi Sam,
You may download a funambol plug-in for WM5 on their website and install it on your WM5 / 6 device, then connect your WM device to your computer which installed Activesync and able to make your device online, and make sure all your thunderbird PIM information sync to your Funambol v6 server already, at final - you start the Funambol plug-in on WM device and sync all information from Funambol.
BTW, I am using Funambol V6 on my WM6 HTC-Touch and my Vodafone 1210 SP also, found it is a pretty good solution for non-M$ push mail and wireless PIM sync solutions.
Ok, but how do I configure the client?
It's asking for like "server name" and stuff.
I have everything installed, I just don't know how to configure the client and DB setups.
Birdie Sync is a very easy alternative. It's cheap, updated almost weekly, and there's a good trial period. I love it, keeps all my thunderbird/lightning information synced and backed up.
I've used BirdieSync before.
I really liked it, but my trial ended and I don't want to pay $27 for something to sync my computer to my cell phone.
That's why I looked into funambol.
Funambol killed my phone
My phone had been fine since I flashed it in January, but I installed Funambol on the 11th, and the 12th my phone was dead. I can't access anything and no programs work. Has anyone else had this problem?
