Does anyone know how to go about the syncing of two devices, for example my exec and wife's mini s with just one PC? I mean separate contacts for the two phones, and everything else.
you can create 2 outlook profiles in the windows control -> mail options. and choose to select on outlook startup.
then you have your own mail, contacts, tasks, appointments...
BTW: You should use different user accounts on your PC!!!!!! then you won't have this problem (it's the better solution).

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
I'm using ActiveSync 4.1 and was wondering whether it is possible to select what to sync in Outlook? The reason for this is I have numerous calenders, contact folders and notes, which I normally separate into personal and business.
use groups ?
Is this groups within Outlook or ActiveSync? I can't find any option for this.
The sync'ing software I've used in the past for SonyEricsson's and Nokia's allowed me to choose which "folders" to sync. I'm a bit surprised ActiveSync doesn't have anything similar.
Once you've performed your initial connection with your device in AS, you can configure your sync preferences in the options for your connection once you've established the relationship between device & host (your computer) by going to Tools -> Options in the ActiveSync application window. You can select a category of data (Calendar, E-Mail, etc) and provided the option has more configurable settings, hit Options to fire up that dialog box.
The quickest way (at least the quickest I can see, as it requires no initial connection before configuration) is to go onto your device, go into ActiveSync, go Menu -> Options and select which items you'd like to sync with your device there.
I can see the option on both my phone and ActiveSync to sync which Outlook component but I'd like to be able to choose exactly which subfolder to sync. For example I have 3 contacts folders and 2 calender folders in my Outlook profile but I only want to be able to choose which folders to sync. Not sure if I have explained this clearly...
I think ActiveSync will only sync the main folder in Outlook. So if you have 2 calender folders it will only sync the main one. You can choose what date range (past week, past 2 weeks etc..) and which sub folders in mail.

Just tried creating a second calender folder and put some meetins in. ActiveSync did NOT sync these to my PDA.
Possibly one of the programs here might do what you need: http://pocketpccentral.net/software/sync.htm

Thanks for the advice Gav, I'll have a look at pocketpccentral.
Hello,
I'm trying to get my Hermes to sync with the 3 calendars I have in my Outlook Data File - Personal, Training and Work. I haven't been able to find any calendar software that supports multiple calendars, but am using Pocket Informant with a custom view for my training and filters so that my personal and work calendar is combined on the device.
As things stand if I move something out of my personal calendar in Outlook into either of the other calendars, I lose it on my Hermes, what I'd like is to sync the contents of all 3 calendars into the single calendar on the Hermes, where I can use filters to set up the displays I want.
I've tried using PocketMirror Professional, but despite claims for Vista WMDC compatibility I couldn't get the desired configuration and it wiped my calendars completely - thank god for the recycle bin!
Anyway, anyone any ideas of an alternative work around?
I'm using WM6, OUtlook 2007 and Vista Ultimate. Thanks.
Try with new PocketMirror (WM) version 2.2.2 is compatible with Vista.
hi when i sync my phone with outlook using active sync, it duplicates all my contacts on my phone and on my computer contacts, i now have 3 entrys for each person on my phone and comp, firstly how can i stop this happening and second how can i get rid of duplicates. i would only like to use the sync options for calender and contacts, please help as its really annoying. thanks
Sounds like you are syncing with two different computers or you have an old sync profile still active on the phone? This results.
Options.
1. Remove one of the sync profiles from the phone under Activesync (on the phone not via PC) preferrably the old one.
If all your present PC outlook contacts vanish, dont worry, just look in you deleted items folder in PC Outlook and move the required ones back to contacts.
2. Search the web as there are a few duplicate Outlook item removers around.
Tried to search on this but the terms are so generic, I didn't have much luck.
Is there a way to set up two partnerships with my Android phone, so that I can have contacts from work on my phone and home machine, but keep my personal contacts synchronized from my home Outlook private and out of my machine at work?
In other words, I want to synchronize some, but not all, groups, based on the desktop.
Thanks in advance.
Are you running Outlook at work too, keeping your contacts in separate folders (one being personal and the other work related on your home computer), if so do you have your contacts on your phone setup identifying the differences as well? How can your phone move files, can they be fed directly ibro Outlook or are they transferred as a csv file? Worse case you use one Gmail and Live accounts to sync and the Live accounts to sync with your two Windows computers. I have gotten creative when it comes to getting the information I need to me from my computer at another location regardless of what operating system it is. Gmail, Live and Cox accounts are great storage accounts and servers.
If you still need help and haven't found a solution I could help you out, it would just be easier if I knew the details of your current syncing program (if any), its capabilities (if it interfaces directly with Outlook or creates csv files) and any thing else you use to transfer your files.

Sorry, should have included the information you ask about.
Running Outlook 2007 on both desktops. It was my plan to use HTC Sync. I do have my work contacts categorized into their own group, so if there's a way to synchronize only specific groups by desktop, that would be ideal.
Bump. Still looking for a solution.
Ping. Nobody has feedback on this?
