Anyone have any ideas how I can sync an O2 XDA Mini S with an Apple Mac? Right now Missing Sync / PocketMac don't support WM5. One thought is to use MS Entourage and a ISP host that offers hosted MS Exchange. From what I can see, this route will let me sync email (via IMAP), but what about contacts / diary / tasks. Will it work? Are there any better ideas?
I tried using VPC but although Activesync 4.1 installed fine it will not recognise my K-JAM.
Mind you neither will a damn silly IBM Laptop sat next to my Powerbook............
I am getting ready to send this pup back which would be a real shame as I love the form factor of this beastie.

I currenty use a hosted Exchange setup, and so bypass using my Mac for syncing. It syncs email, tasks, appointments, and contacts flawlessly between Entourage, Exchange and my K-Jam. Also, when Microsoft eventually releases AKU2 with Direct Push, it'll push email from my Exchange account to my phone.
I have no complaints about using Exchange (whereas the features offered by PocketMac and MissingSync are really behind the curve.
My advice, pay for the hosted Exchange account. It'll work out slightly more expensive, but it'll work perfectly.

Yes but this won't allow me to sync my work Outlook account nor will it allow me to sync my files, SplashID and a number of other applications that I sync on a daily basis.

Thanks for the info. It's what I've been thinking about. Who do you use? Any hints on how to set this all up?
sync with mac
I use 4smartphone exange server - worked fine with my qtek 9090 and works fine wint xda s mini. To transfer/sync files I use bluetoth file transfer from my powerbook. It is not as convinient as using windows but its OK for me.
Does that work OK with MS Entourage and Pocket PCs? I took (a brief) look at their website http://www.4smartphone.net and it seemed to only talk about Windows.
How long have you been with them? Any problems with service?
Thanks
4smartphone
it works fine with entourage (exept it doen't sync tasks). Emails, contacts and calendar - no problem. I've used them for six month now - no service problems so far. Now they even can send sms to set up your device (wm5) so you don't have to do it manualy.
BTW if you want to use apple's address book - it can sync with ehange server. I just found that out - forks well with 4smartphone server. I wanted that to be able to lookup contacts on my powerbook usig quicksilver. It indexes address book very well.

the_invisigoth any comments on your host?

I'm in the UK, and use 1&1 (www.1and1.co.uk). I have to say that their tech support is absolutely rubbish!!! However, the actual Exchange service they offer is excellent, with no outage problems etc. in the 2 months I've been using it.
Setup is fairly easy, and contrary to what has been said above, task syncing DOES work, but only with the latest MS update (Came out about 3 weeks ago). As for any other 3rd party app syncing usually done over ActiveSync, I just use the wi-fi connection. File transfer is done over Bluetooth using the ever friendly Mac Bluetooth File Exchange wizard, and if I have to install something from a PC because the developers haven't provided a CAB file (latest MS Reader update for WM5, grrr :evil, I resort to using my girlfriend's laptop.
The one thing I haven't been able to do is to use my phone as a bluetooth modem for my Powerbook. For some reason, OS X doesn't see the phone as a DUN agent, as it used to with my Nokia 7610.
Other than that, the perfect Windows-free setup!
Thanks Invisigoth.
I signed up to 1and1 yesterday and everything is working ok. I'll try out task synching.
One question, did they move your email domain to their servers? Or did they just point Exchange to your domain? One thing I don't want to do it move my domain and website.
1 and 1
Invisigoth - "task syncing DOES work, but only with the latest MS update (Came out about 3 weeks ago)".
I tried it and it doesn't seem to work. I've checked my Mac and all the software is up to date. Is there anything I'm missing?
Club i-mate hase a free Exange server on there site. Works fine!
What I've done, since I already have a seperate hosting setup for my domain, is redirect all my mail from jonathansimmons [dot] co [dot] uk to my completely random and impossible to remember 1&1 email exchange address. This way, the service acts seemlessly, but you keep your domain registered with your existing provider.
Also, have just realised that I'm being a complete imbecile about task syncing. Tasks on your Wizard will sync with the exchange server, and be available to view online, but Entourage still doesn't sync them locally. Hopefully Microsoft will put this final measure in place before too long, after all the work they put in to make Entourage work more smoothly with Exchange.
Hi All !
Sorry for the basic question. I would like to sync my TyTn with two Exchange server.
1. Exchange server in the company
2. Hosted Exchange server
Do you have any idea, how to do that ?
As far as I know it is impossible at the moment. Activesync only allows one server to be set up. My intuition tells me we will probably never see it as there is only one contact, task, calender and email store in WM5 and having them both syncronised via 2 servers would cause more conflicts then you can shake a big stick at.
Yep, it's a glaring gap in PPC functionality, but it is not possible to sync with two different Exchange servers!
Sorry to jump on this thread, but the knowledge may be relevant.
If no exchange server existed, but you have a desktop, a laptop, and TyTN, is there a sync solution for all 3 devices?

You can sync your PPC with two pcs (but only e-mail from one of them).
Everything else can be sync'd between them all.
My MDA Pro is sync'd with an excange server for my e-mail and 2 desktops (home and work) for contacts, calendar, tasks, notes and files.
Could it be possible to link with thew hosted exchange using the built in capability, and then use funambol (with the exchange connector plug-in) to sync with the in house exchange server?
Ive not tried it, but I hold out big hopes for funambol as a synchronising tool for a mixed network solution.
I'm also interested in syncing with 2 exchange servers. Maybe a third-party program?
I also have a problem using active sync: I am trying to sync my tytn with an exchange server (email, just for pushmail with mail2web) and with my pc (outlook calendar and contacts). I just can't get it to work. I removed the whole sync pairing with my pc and redid it and then it worked once. After that it keeps on looking for changes and in the end it comes with the error message.
So basically I want to sync one exchange server and my outlook, anyone a solution? I tried it with both AS 4.2 and the 4.5 beta. I use the tytn rom...
Repeat: There is currently NO WAY to sync with two Exchange servers.

I don't believe that's true. It is possible to set up funambol, with multiple servers, and use the funambol clients (one which exists for WM5) to sync with these multiple servers.
If you can justify *why* your statement is true, and why it is applicable in this case, then I would be very interested to hear.
Yes, there IS a way. MSFT has actively closed that loophole with ActiveSync 4.x
But I found a way around. See my post in the activesync newsgroup:
http://groups.google.co.uk/group/mi...ved+exchange+pocketpc&rnum=3#e25f50cf495e64b8
Ignore the typos in the post (ooops) and enjoy
I have no idea if funambol can help or is relevant, but I can tell you that people have been trying to find a multi-MS Exchange Server sync option for years, and I have NEVER seen a successful solution before...
There are many threads on this forum that will confirm the same...
Believe me, I'd be thrilled to have somebody resolve this, as I also have a personal Exchange server and multiple work Exchange servers!!!
Over-the-air sync with 2 exchange servers: success
Hi,
My approach: use one exchange server with Visto push mail. The other with exchange activesync directly to the server and it works. Two separate mailboxes too. (this is the main reason why you cannot sync with two exchange servers directly) It works fine for me.

Thanks for verifying that way works. This is exactly the approach I was suggesting (but using funambol and exchange connector for the server over which the organisation has control - rather than Visto).
But just to be clear, has anyone found a way to use Exchange ActiveSync with two different servers? (I suspect not)

use seven.com to push email from acct2 OWA, acct3, and acct4
I'm currently using Funabmol to sync the 2 exchange setups via outlook...

Thought I would share it as i've been trying to figure out how sync my corporate email & calendar via one activesync server (company) and google contacts via another (the google server). So now I have both personal email (gmail IMAP) and work email (Exchange) and my personal contacts imported into the native contacts list.
Hope someone else finds this useful.
BTW, I also set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\EnableNonLocalCrossPollination to "1" instead of "0".

Hi,
Looking for some advise and hopefully some useful suggestions... have spent hours searching forums, google, M$, etc, etc....
The story begins....
Recently upgraded from my XDA IIi to the shiny XDA trion (HERMES) - moved to WM6 and had to upgrade to ActiveSync (AS) 4.5.
All fine and dandy to here.... (and most excellent I must add!)
Now - I have two PCs - home and work. Both locations have their own exchange server. (Work Exchange and Home Exchange)
Email - I sync via the exchange server at work and has no problems from either location connecting via AS 4.5 to the exchange server for the mail. (I am only interested in getting my work emails on the device).
Calandar and Contacts - I used to be able to sync both PCs to the XDA IIi via AS 4.1 meaning that if I ever added a calandar entry while at home, it would update the phone and when I next connected to my work PC, it would then place it there. (And Visa Versa). This also worked for my contacts, notes, tasks, etc. Consequently, I was able to know that I had the most up to date contacts, calander entries, etc on the phone, as well as on both PCs when I next connected the phone to them. So it didn't matter at which location I was sitting - I would be up to date and not miss appointments...
However, AS 4.5 helpfully tells me that I am already syncing my calandar / contacts / whatever somewhere else and must deselect this first (and remove all of the data) before it would allow me to connect with a different source. Rather frustrating.
Now, I don't know if there is an easier way to achieve the results I am looking for (can I point my home exchange server at the work one and have them sync and then I just sync to the one?) or if I am just making things difficult for myself..?? Surely I am on the only person out there who may like to keep to calandars across different PCs in sync? (I also don't want to use an internet based webservice like googlecalandar, etc).
Any ideas / suggestions / advise / hacks on how I can get it back to how I could work previously?
Thanks!.
MJ.
Okay, let me try to help. You don't have to deselect any of the Exchange items. Just select the items on the local desktop that you will be syncing. When you sync at home, you will see exchange items grouped being synced and a 2nd group on your desktop also being synced. Going into AS on the device will provide a last sync status for exchange and any partnerships you have.
Here is my setup:
I sync Email, Calendar, and Contacts via Exchange Server at work (this is done wirelessly).
I sync Tasks through a 3rd party app and notes at work on my desktop (this is a partnership in AS 4.5)
I sync calendar, contacts, quicken, etc... at home (partnership in AS4.5)
You'll notice that my device is syncing contacts and calendar between exchange and my home PC when it's connected and any changes on the device, exchange are mirrored immediately and at home when I sync it. Actually when I sync it at home I think it winds up being slow sometimes because it's by default syncing with the home desktop as well as pushing that info back to the exchange server at work.
Now, as to syncing with 2 exchanges - you'll probably have to choose one and then sync the other via a partnership. Not sure you can set up 2 servers.
Hope that helps.
I have seen several posts over the years from people looking to sync multiple Exchange mailboxes/calendars to their WM phones. The official word from Microsoft is, of course, you can't do that, and it is for security purposes. To date, I haven't seen a way to accomplish this, other than to have IMAP or POP3 and use the second exchange account in this way.
The paradox for Microsoft is which domain 'owns' the device. If you sync to two different servers, and one issues the remote reset command, the phone will hard reset, losing the data from the other server. Also, if there are policies in place for one domain, and you sync to a second, which set of policies supercedes the other.
I am probably one of the few people ( although it's probably not that rare consider many users here are developers ) who runs their own exchange server at home. I have my phone synced to my home Exchange server which houses all of my email, contacts, calendar apps, ect. The company I work for also uses exchange and opens the ability to sync via ActiveSync, but denies IMAP and POP3 access. I always wanted a way to get just my calendare from work so that when I am in the game room, or outside, or helping a co-worker, I didn't forget about the meetings scheduled at work.
Ok, with that background, here is the true purpose of the post. I have written a small app that uses WebDAV (same thing the Outlook web access uses) to query the Exchange server at work and return the all of the appointments on my calendar in XML format. This app then parses the XML, and sends regular emails with the calendar invites to my home Exchange server, and of course my phone. Once I log in and accept them, they show up on my phone, my home Outlook, and my Outlook at work. The strategy could easily be applied to email, as the WebDAV query i've created need only be tweaked to return the email in additional to the calendar appointments. The device retains no relationship with the exchange server from which the email and calendar settings come, so there is no question of domain ownership
What I would like to know from the community, is there still a need for this app? Right now many of the configurable items are hardcoded to my server settings, mainly because it started as a POC, and it is in a C# Console Application. It could easily be modified to run on the .NET 3.5 CF, with all of the important info as configurable options, and distrubuted.
Would anyone be interested in this?

Ive been after an app like this for ages - I went for a google synch approach with my work exchange and then pulling my work calendar to google and then to my home exchange account on my mobile - problem with this was i regularily got duplicates! I have since sacrificed having my home and work calendar synch and just have my work email being polled by imap. The key for me is i dont want all my home contacts and calendar appointments synched with my work email - would just like to pull my work calendar every know and again and ensure i dont have duplicates - would this work in this way enabling an adhoc pull on the work calendar without creating duplicates and sending personal appointments to my work calendar?
Fantastic, would love to see this developed. Would pay for this app.

This app checks for duplicates by using the subject. The only testing I've done is on my own calendar and such, but I have found no issues with duplicates. Introducing this app to a wider audience should point out any issues right away.
Based on the limited amount of feedback I've received, I think I will work it into a windows mobile application for mass consumption. I will keep this thread updated with the progress. Any additional features anyone can think of are appreciated.
that would be fantastic i will definately testing it out. another great feature would be to enable it to synch with google calendars as well while checking duplicates with the exchange calendar - all the onew i have trie have failed on the duplicates side! will monitor this thread and check when an app is available
cheers

zenkinz you can do this now by getting google mail to autoforward all emails to your exchange account - thats what i do now and it works like a treat
I would not only love an application like this but maybe one that allows the use of Intellisync along with Activesync to allow them both to work cohesively. Since Novell and Microsoft do not play well together I cannot use my hotmail to work with my activesync the same way.
Hey guys, i don't know if this works for everyone but i saw this post ages ago that allows a quick registry edit to allow activesync 4.x to sync over multiple servers.
Currently i sync my exchange server calendar and contacts with google calendar.

I too have my own Exchange server at home, and several other Exchange accounts at work- each on different domains. This would be a great thing for me, and one I would pay for.
I am currently running Exchange 2007 on my home domain, Exchange 2010 for one account at work, and Exchange 2003 for another. If this works on all 3 "flavours" I would be stoked.

Well just to confirm, i sync with my works exchange server and google sync which as far as i know uses Exchange ActiveSync® protocol. To this extent i am effectively syncing with two exchange servers.
I do not sync my phone with any pc, so this registry mod does do what i think you describe. I suggest you try this regsitry mod and see if it does what you ask.
regardless i hope it helps!

I am not sure about Exchange 2010, but I know that my app (in it's current form) relies on WebDAV, which makes it work with Exchange 2000, 2003, and 2007. I don't have an Exchange 2010 test environment at the moment, but will stand one up if demand were to increase. Once it goes RTM I will definately use it and this app will be compatible. Again, as long as they leave WebDAV support in, and don't break the interface, this app will already work with it.

Thanks, I will definately look into this.
Just as a general update on progress, I began digging into the true dirt of the conversion today and ran into several issues. First being that the System.Net.Mail namespace isn't in the compact framework, and since that is functionality in the .net System.dll, it can't be exported for use with CF. I found however that the same functionality exists in the Microsoft.Mobile.PocketOutlook namespace, so that was easy to overcome. I ran into some issues during testing (my exchange server went down overnight so i couldn't test at all (btw, it going down had nothing to do with this app )). The WebDAV query works, but since I am returning such a large dataset, it takes quite a while over EDGE (TMobile 3G is slated for Louisville in a few weeks!!!). Otherwise, the port is moving right along and hope to have an alpha version posted in the coming days.
BTW, does anyone out there have a good name for this app. In a lapse of creativity, I named it InfoSync, but I think that is too generic. Suggestions?

Recently, my HTC Imagio has started to launch the Messaging (Pocket Outlook) app randomly and without any input from me at all. Yes, I have an Exchange ActiveSync account as well as Hotmail Push setup but, again, this strange behavior only started a week or two ago and I have had Exchange ActiveSync setup for months. I have made it a point to make sure that Messaging/Pocket Outlook is completely closed down when I am through with it, but Messaging/Pocket Outlook continues to launch itself fully, without any input from me whatsoever.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I just started getting this when I added my yahoo account, never happened while using it to sync with my exchange server. so I am thinking it has something to do with adding a pop 3 account.
Probs with Yahoo! Too
I have had unrelated problems with Yahoo! mail on my WM 6.5 HTC Imagio. With only an Exchange ActiveSync and Hotmail Push account running, however, does anyone have any clue as to why Messaging/Outlook Mobile would recently begin to launch by itself randomly?
Same here, very strange, I cannot notice a pattern, it just happens sometimes, I'm synced to an EXCHANGE server as well as hotmail
I deleted my Yahoo account and Hotmail Account off the Phone and have not had it happen since. I still sync with my Company Server, but the app does not open by itself, so I am thinking it had something to do with the 5 minute sync for yahoo and/or hotmail accounts.
Just wondering if maybe Verizon or HTC has launched an over-the-air update to supposedly fix something, which has in turn broken email?
I don't know if it'll work, but a hard-reset or flashing back to stock ROM might help. If it does, then I'd sure be contacting HTC or Verizon to let them know their "fix" is systematically breaking phones.
Has anyone inquired as to wether or not any OTA updates have been applied by their carriers?
Has anyone heard of any potential fix to this problem? I recently upgraded my Imagio's ROM to 3.04.605.7 -- it was only after that upgrade that Messaging started to open itself every five minutes when it checks my gmail account. I don't recall any of that happening under the OEM ROM. Any thoughts beyond downgrading to the last version?
