Sync Contacts with Outlook Personal folder and Exchange

Hello!
I have Exchange and a personal gmail account configured in Outlook and when I try to sync my contacts (personal folder), it syncs the exchange one's instead.
How can it be possible?
I have a lot of contacts on personal folder and a few on exchange and it simply syncs the few ones. Indeed, can I make a rule not to have repeated contacts on PPC? Since some of exchange contacts are on personal and Vice versa....
Please help!
Best regards,
Deiota
EDITED:
I've managed to sync my personal contacts, but what I wanted to do is:
Exchange: contacts, calendar, tasks and email
Personal: contacts, calendar and tasks (not repeat contacts, if possible)
Can I do It?
When I go to options on WMDC (using Vista), It only allows me to choose one source, and on ASync (PPC), it also alows me just the same....

How can I sync Contacts with Outlook?

I never used Outlook to sync contacts of my HD2, but today I was going to try and I can't because I allways get one error when trying to sync the contacts.
My device is well synced with my outlook, but contacts don't sync.
I'm using Windows 7.
Any help is apreciated.
Thanks.

Birthdays & Calendar

Greetings,
I have a problem which I heard around the places before but haven't found any solution.
So, we have a contact - then we add a birthday date for it, after all the calendar does not remind us about it in any possible way.
I must enter an event by myself.
Writing this after almost missing the birthday yersterday of a closed one.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.
P.S. I know about "Manila Birthday for Leo", but still I want to have a full synchronized contact list with calendar, can I?

Any help guys?

try entering the contact into the microsoft contact app.

you need to sync your callendar with outlook, then you will see birthdays in your HD2 in callendar

Can that be done automatically? Or you need sync with Outlook every time to add birthdays into calendar? Because after synchronizing it I may add some new ones' and still they would not be displayed.

you need to have set B'days in your contacts in the field Birthday. if you do and then you sync Contacts and Callendar with Outlook, then Outlook will automatically assign B'days to your callendar. if you enter birthday to a contact after syncing, then you ofcourse need to sync again.
I synchronize my HD2 with Outlook once per week to be updated as much as possible.
also in case of losing your device you have all contacts and callendar in Outlook

Or if you don't use outlook, you can install "Manila Birthday", it detects all birthday entries in your contacts, and adds calendar entries for them.
You can even set it to repeat those entries every year.
Works very well here.

use a free app called birthday2calendar. it scans your contacts and syncs the birthdays with the calendar. works fine here so far and it's small and free!

Thanks for answers people, as far as I understood we can't sync it automatically like in Nokia phones. Too bad...

You can do it automatically only if you use full Outlook features. It's quite normal for Microsoft to promote its own products...

Contacs from WM to Android

Is there an easy way to import my contacts from Windows Mobile to Android? Without to copy first all my contacs to my Sim?

No. Dont think so.

I had all my contacts on my google account. On WM I did exchange so it synced all my contacts. With Android, I just logged in and it auto. synced my contacts.
Fastest way and most easiest way!

with telephonenumber picture etc.? if there is no other way, i'm going to spend a little bit of my time by typing all them down in there :-D

Simple.
1) ActiveSync to outlook or windows contact.
2) export to csv file
3) import csv file to google contacts.
4) android uses all the google contacts automatically. Bingo.

how i did mine -
setup an activesync with your gmail account

manually select sync to get the process started, now your contacts will be in your gmail account
verify on the gmail account to make sure all the contacts are there
boot into android, your gmail contacts will start showing up in the phone

thank you guys! perfekt

Outlook for Android not Syncing Contacts to Phone

Hi All,
Both my Nokia 6s' have stopped copying / syncing Contacts from Outlook for Android into the phones Android Contacts App.
Up until a week ago all my Contacts in Outlook were also found / sync'd in Android Contacts but some reason this abruptly stopped. I can see all my Contacts in the Outlook App, but I also see that the Outlook account is not found in Android Contacts and it does not let me add a new (Outlook) account. Also, the "Sync Contacts" slider in Outlook for Android is missing.
I have tried Reset Account, Delete Account, uninstall / re-install App etc. in Outlook (on both devices) but without any luck.
It is strange that this is happening on both devices. Is anyone else having the same issue?

I've never been able to get the Outlook App contacts to sync with Android contacts. However, the way I got around to do fixing this was to add another account to the stock GMAIL app on the phone with the Exchange credentials. For whatever reason, then I can get two-way syncing of contacts between my phone and Outlook. If there is a better way to do this, please post here!
Thanks

I also sync Outlook contacts by addimg my adding an Exchange Account via Settings-Accounts options, then manually configuring it.
