I have all of my messages and accounts set up in outlook 2003, is there any way for me to transfer them to my Wizard or do I have to set them all up using the wizard itself (painfully slow )?
Activesync only seems to let me sync custom folders that I've created (not Inbox, Sent items etc). Also, is it possible to use one inbox for all accounts in pocket outlook? It gets kind of messy when I have six folder trees.

I've just started using the Outlook Domino connector to enable me to use Outlook to access our Lotus Notes server, and more importantly, sync my Notes inbox, calendar etc with the i-mate without other third-party software (I was previously using mNotes from CommonTime which didn't totally satisfy my needs).
Whilst I'm now thrilled with the Outlook/Notes/i-mate sync scenario, which is working beyond my expectations, I'm a little hesitant to set up my Activesync to Exchange Server Account (from Club i-mate) which I also use for private email because I'm unsure whether this dual server via Activesync scenario will work (and I can't jeopardize my Notes mail / calendar integrity to check).
So, has anybody tried using Activesync to syncronize with their PC's Outlook inbox / calendar etc, PLUS a server sync with Exchange? What happens? Do you just end up with two Inbox items in Activesync? Does all your email etc from all accounts end up in the same PPC inbox (and then both accounts)?
Any first-hand experience would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Hi,
it is not possible to do both with ActiveSync. If you configure ActiveSync for server sync it no longer synchronizes with Outlook locally.
You can use IMAP or POP3 for your additional accounts, I am using Exchange for my main account and IMAP for other accounts and it works fine.
Okay Softworkz, that's what I was afraid of.
Unfortunately Clubimate don't allow POP (or IMAP) access for member email, so it's one or the other for me then.
Thanks for your comment.
Ooooh interesting - what was up with mNotes? =) Version 3.5 is out soon by the way - and I'm working on some stuff for our new website..
Hi Madkat,
I used mNotes on my original XDA and now my i-mate with great success for ages, until I made the mistake of creating categories for my contacts. Once I happened mis-type a category name and that was when I discovered that I couldn't delete them - at all.
No matter what I did I couldn't stop rogue categories from appearing in the drop-down list. After removing all contacts from the rogue category, and then deleting it on the i-mate (or Notes, it didn't matter), the rogue category would still appear in the drop-down list, and in the add / remove categories sceen as [category name] (not in master category list), or words to that effect. I also played around with the mNotes config app which is installed on the device (which was just about all I could find in the user manual relating to categories), but the manual didn't match what was installed (guess it hadn't been updated for that section), and I wasn't successful.
I actually posted a question on xda-developers about it, but wasn't able to sort it out. I just became frustrated in the end. I'm not sure I'd go back to it now because I'm so impressed with the Outlook Domino Connector and not having to use Notes for my e-mail at work - I hate notes as an email client, especially with all the 'customisations' our IT jerks have done; we don't have rights to do anything - can't even create rules to move mail to other folders based on content anymore. It's a shame they don't upgrade to Notes 6, but there you go.
TBH I hate Notes as a mail client too!! If I didn't have to do any Notes development I'd be using IMAP on the Domino server & Thunderbird on my PC.
I think it is worth mentioning, though, that during your 30-day evaluation you are entitled to full tech support by email and/or phone - bit late now though! D'OH.
i just do not want to open another topic....
i have a pc with win xp and ms outlook... ms outlook is set up with an exchange server for all items (email, calendar, tasks etc)
is it possible to sync, via activesync, my windows mobile device with the content of ms outlook on my pc? the purpose is to have the same calendar, tasks and contacts on my phone WM device also...
thanks
I know this is prob a daft question...
Am I right in thinking if my Universal is syncing the Contacts, Appointments, Tasks and E-mails with my Exchange server. Then its not possible to make it sync Contacts, Appointments and Tasks with another PC that isn't connected to the same Exchange Server?
I know this may sound daft, but I could really do with my Appointments ETC from my work pc on my Universal.
Thanks,
David.
I'd like to understand this as well.
I have a XDA Exec and a Wizard connecting to a paid for exchange account for my contacts etc. However on my Exec I also have Activesync set to sync my contacts with two PCs (work and home laptop) whereas on my Wizard I cannot have multiple selections for calender, just syncing with exchange.
This is a real mystery to me and I would really like to understand exchange syncing a little and how best to set up my two devices and various PCs I want to sync with.
Sync Contacts, Calendar and Tasks with 2 Exchange
Heya.
I used my home ExchangeServer for Pushmail (not only mail; calendar, tasks and contacts also).
In addition to my home exchange i synced my office exchange with the same phone. Worked without real problems.
You need to change following registry-value on the phone:
1. Go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync
2. Change the value EnableNonLocalcrossPollination from 0 to 1
3. Now you can check your second calendar, tasks and contacts, but only in ActiveSync on the Phone
Now the greyed-out fields (see attachment) aren't greyed-out anymore...
On your computer you can't do this settings...
But there are two issues:
- you can only sync the mails from one of the both accounts
- you need to sync the second account by usb-cable...
Best Regards
Peter
Fairly new to PPC phones, so not sure exactly how this should function.
I have a few POP3 accounts in outlook 2003 and they sync perfectly with the phone. When I write an email on my phone it stays in the outbox folder until i connect with ActiveSync and then it sends.
What I would like is for my emails to send via GPRS/WLAN when I write them on the phone and then sync as normal and update my PC outlook sent folders. Is this possible?
I don't want to have to add all my POP3 accounts into my phone, as that would effectively mean my emails would be stored twice, once in the outlook folder and again in the individual pop3 folder.
I have been using Exchange Activesync on my 8525 since I first received it. Until now, I have been fine with just checking emails in my inbox. But due to some new responsibilities at work I am receiving entirely too many emails to keep in the inbox.
I have set up filters in Outlook so that they will go to their specified folder. The devices shows the folders listed in messaging, however no emails go into them (nor do they come to the inbox).
I am using Exchange Server 2003 SP2. Is there anything I can do for this?
Thanks
I know what you mean, I have the same issue... You do know you can search the Exchange Server from your phone though, right? The results that are returned, I believe, include all folders inside your mailbox. Helps if your looking for a specific email, etc...
Cheers.
Hello,
In Pocket Outlook choose Menu->Tools->Manage Folders
And choose folders you want to synchronize.
Just as simple as that

Mail2web calendar and desktop oulook calendar
After signing up with mail2web live version my active sync has two accounts. The outlook account I familiar with and the exchange server account via mail2web.com.
Is it possilbe to sync my desktop calendar under activesync with the exchange server calendar? Any pointing to help, threads or pdf manuals would be greatly appreciated.
Ciao

If you activated both calendars to sync-they'll be combinded.
activate calendars?
That refreshing, I haven't come across those key words. How do I activate both calendars? Not finding anything, easily, in help or microsoft forums
Hi,
I use Intellisync to synchronise my HD2 with GroupWise at work. IntelliSync synchronizes e-mail, calendar, tasks and notes.
IntelliSync has to be installed seperately on the phone. It synchronizes on it's own and puts the synchronised e-mail in the main Outlook account on the phone.
HTC sense notices that e-mail is received, as it shows the unread e-mail count next to the little envelope in the sliding bar. However, it does not understand that an e-mail account is active and asks me to configure one.
After i configured other accounts it still does not process the Outlook account. I can not configure the Outlook account with false data, intellisync removes the configuration options.
Does anyone have a tip on how to get sense to process the Outlook account aswell? I take it sense has to store which accounts are configured somewhere in the registry. Perhaps Outlook can be added manually?

Help on this issue is very much appreciated? I have the same problem and it would significantly help to use the sense mail app for the most important mail account... .
I couldn't find much info concerning the email accounts within the whole registry. Only at a single location, which should mean:
1) last synced account - here Outlook is not recognized
2) The number of unread messages - here outlook is included.
Here are the registry details:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\OtherEmail\Unread]
"Text"="Web.de (36)
Google (2)"
"Count"=dword:00000026
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\sync]
"Account Name"="ActiveSync"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\sync\Unread]
"Text"="Outlook-E-Mail (18)"
"Count"=dword:00000012
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\TotalEmail]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\State\Messages\TotalEmail\Unread]
"Count"=dword:00000038
Does anybody know where the sense / vanilla / HTC mail application gets it's info where to look for emails? The "regular" messaging client (tmail.exe) has access to the outlook folder where the vanilla / HTC / sense application has not.

As configuration via PPC does not work I got another idea which I couldn't try out so far:
- Do an initial sync of email data via active sync by pairing PC and HD2 (be carefull as this might result in double entries, so have your inbox/sent/draft folder pretty empty and do not sync calendar, contacts, tasks etc)
- After this outlook mails should be visable with sense mail app (somebody showed me!)
- Use intellysnc again (probably with the option to overwrite mobile data with server data)
- check whtether sense is still seeing outlook mails
- don't forget to remove the active synce settings in PC active sync to prevent double syncs in the future
I cannot test this by my own during the next 2 weeks until I can connect to my PC again. Feedback would be nice.
Another question: What about the sense calender App. I have many entries where the sense calender App does only show title/time/date, but no detailed infos like participants, note etxt etc. Any solution for this?
