I noticed that I cannot sync my calendar completely anymore. I use ActiveSync 3.7+Lotus EasySync Pro 4.1 ENG for this. After the upgrade to 4.00.10 I can still sync contacts and recurring things like birthdays, but no appointments/meetings. The fieldmapping in EasySync Pro looks the same as before in PPC2002, there must be a difference somehow in 4.00.10.
Does anyone know where the difference comes from?
4.00.10 is based on wm2003. so of course there are alot of changes internally. is Easysync pro 4.1 compatable with wm2003? check with the manufacturer to make sure that it is.
The IBM Lotus website says nothing but CE+ PPC+PPC2002, but it is the same text there since may 2002. They do not actively support it.
There is no helpdesk etc. Which I do not like since I paid $70 for this tool.
I need to find a workaround either in EasySync Pro or in WM2003 - so far could not find any. Anyone?
Tried everything to get easysick toork, with no joy. IBM support is a joke. :evil:
I switched to mNotes from Cadenza available at commontime.com it works great!
Wish I'd known about it before I shelled out for easysick :?
tx for the tip. I noticed I can get EasySync Pro to work with WM2003 when I sync less than 500 items in my calendar (bye, bye 5 year history). Anyway, I'll check Cadenza
@all:
i have xtndconnect 4.7 here. i can sync adress book, calendar and notes. but syncing EMAIL with lotus notes is a real mess.
all my inbox mails go crippled to "draft". so it's useless.
any comments?
regards ize|man
xtndconnect is the same as EasySync. I think lotus have licensed it some how. As I said in my previous post, it sucks at the best of times and is nearly as useless under wm2003 as lotus support for it.
Try cadenza's mNotes you will not regret it. I think they have a free trial at commontime.com
PS I do not work for Cadenza :!:
I do. The company is CommonTime, not Cadenza - Cadenza *was* the name of the product, but now we have mNotes and mForms. Soon we'll be releasing mControl, mSecure OTA and mSecure PDA - and a new website which I'm doing parts of. The new Evaluation system does not require you to enter any details on the website until you come for support or if you like it enough to buy it
Hello:
I am looking for any opinions/experience with software to sync Lotus Notes with a JASJAR.
Any experience with software such as Easy Sync, Intellisync or others and their compatibility with WM5?
Thanks in advance.
Fernando
Try Cadenza mNotes from CommonTime (www.commontime.com).
I have been using it successfully with my XDAIIi. I don't have a Universal so cannot confirm that it will work but according to parts of their web site, the latest version supports WM5.
mNotes is a superstable notes sync-app, but so far doesn't work with WM5. It even wrecks the Database if you try. ... :-(
Thanks for the feedback jofeuerstein - that's a real shame. At least it makes my mind up not to get a Universal yet, because mNotes is a critical application for me.
Which version of mNotes did you try by the way? I found this article on the web which indicates version 4 should work with WM5: http://lotusadvisor.com/doc/16995
However the user guide for V4 at http://www.commontime.com/Downloads/Docs/mNotes PPC User Guide.pdf mentions nothing about supporting WM5.
Just found this other thread which mentions a beta for mNotes that supports WM5: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=28913
What a disaster. The Article in "Lotus Advizor" is completeley wrong. I tried to get mNotes to work with the Universal ... no chance. I put in a support request to Commontime. No answer yet. Keep you posted.
Commontime + WM5
At the moment, Commontime mNotes doesn't work with WM5, but it will shortly.
About 2 weeks, I've been told (from a very reliable source)
The reason it won't work is because of the POOM changes in WM5. Commontime have had to re-write their client engine because of it apparently.
That's crazy.
Here's a second article that says mNotes 4.0 supports WM5.
http://www.mobile2day.de/news/news_details.html?nd_ref=4586
I can wait two weeks, no problem.
What makes me nuts is that I waste hours to get this thing to work because of false reports.
Pretty imperfect, this mobile computing business ....
Beta release this week
I spoke to a guy at commontime last week and they are to mail me a beta this wednesday 5 oct. It will be a further couple of weeks for the final release version.
hope that helps (and clearly I will come back to this group if anything materialises on wed - the guy sounded reliable and knowledgable so you never know)
J
I send in a request for clarification and possibly a beta version on Saturday. Here's the response from them today:
--------------
Hi .... ,
Thanks for the email. The current mNotes version does not support the
new Windows Mobile 2005 devices, but a compatible mNotes release is
scheduled to be out within the month of October. I have added you to the
list of customers to be notified once this release becomes available.
We are hopping to have the provisional release version in QA testing by the
end of this week, and progress quickly from there on.
Regards,
Alex Wymer
CommonTime technical support
----------------
Look's like we're out of luck for now, but will get some help soon. I'm curious who will be faster: Commontime or Extended Systems ;-)
Mail from Today:
Dear Customer
Thank you for showing interest in mNotes for the new PPC devices running on
the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system.
Unfortunately we have had to slightly delay the beta release due mainly to
the instability of the device we are testing on at the moment (JasJar). We
have come across some device issues which affect the mNotes performance and
thus want to wait until we get a device we can have more reliable test
results on. Our original target of releasing the beta within this month is
still valid, and we are doing our very best to release it as soon as
possible.
We are in the process of acquiring other WM 5.0 devices and we will keep
you posted on the progress - again, thank you for your patience and
cooperation.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best regards

Hi,
Any news on the patch/update for mNotes? I read there seems to be a beta version. Does anyone know where I can get it?
My jasjar is useless without syncing with Lotus Notes....
Hi guys:
I found a work around to this that is satisfactory. There is a MS Outlook plug-in that allows you to receive/send your Lotus Notes email directly into/from Outlook. Then you can sync your email as you always do with Outlook.
You can download the free plug-in from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...59-5f17-4e52-8980-c4f0dfa92d65&DisplayLang=en
Follow the instructions and it works beautifully.
I hope this helps,
Fernando
I have tried the Outlook-Connector with a Notes-Mail/Contacts file of about 1 GB. The connector has no way to limit the amount of data copied into Outlook, so it copied 5000 calendar entries, todos and a all e-Mail data. Then about three thousand reminders popped up on my desktop (and later on my mobile). After closing them all, they popped up again, and again. Many serial appointments vanished too. Couldn't get it to stop. Decided to uninstall afterwards. Lost many hours ... not funny

I have been using this method since the WM5.0 for BA was released. I would recommend opening outlook every once in a while to make sure that everything connects and is synced between Lotus-Outlook-AS-PDA..... man my company needs to hurry up and get the new version of Extended Systems OneBridge
Any News??
Any News for mNotes and WM 5?

No, nothing, but extended systems is coming out with their sync sw on monday, they say on their webste.
Commontime says Wednesday 2 November
I just spoke with Commontime support and was told they are 99% certain that a WM5 compatible version will be released by 2nd November. Instead of making a beta available immediately, they will do a few more days testing and release a final.
It's November 2nd...
... did the 1% prevail? Anxiously awaiting the mNotes upgrade for WM5... any news?
Now it's the 3rd! WTF! I am regretting getting this jasjar becauase of commontime. If I knew mnotes didn't work I would have waited and got an XDA Exec.

Well, i have seen numerous versions of WM6 in the other parts of these forums, and we recently got AKU3.3 (which i am more than satisfied with..)
however, lots wants more (not sure that is the correct translation )
I wonder if there are any way to extract Outlook Mobile 6 from the WM6 and install/replace Outlook Mobile 5 (Wm5).
I believe stranger things has happen on these forums
why would I want this? Well, basically, html mailsupport and because of that stop using Flexmail (don't quite like it..it is good, but hey, Outlook are so much more integrated with the os + emoze works only with Outlook.
anyone is doing this already? knows if it is possible?
Keep in mind what you're asking for from your is actually a 3-component solution:
- Outlook for WM6 on the handheld
- Outlook 2007 on the desktop
- Exchange 2007 on the server

And?
I guess his point is that very very few organizations currently use Exchange 2007.
i got two out of three
however, does html mail ONLY work with exchange 2007? not imap for example? and why not with 2003?

Agreed but those numbers should increase in the short term.
And I got 2 out of the 3 as well
I have been looking for a way to add US holidays to the calender for each year. I had a previous program for Palm OS on my treos, but cant find anything for wm. Thanks in advance.
I personally leave the holiday management to Outlook on the PC. Then when I sync my device, the holidays will appear there as well. This way, you don't need to install anything.
I am using windows vista currently and the windows mail and calender do not support holidays as far as I see. I guess I can use my xp system with outlook on it. I had not thought of that. Thanks
