Hi,
I had my contact numbers stored on the xdaII in international format, i.e +44…;+358… etc.
However when synchronising with contacts in Outlook 2003, Outlook always removes the + Very annoying…
I apologise if this has been discussed before, but I’m new and didn’t find anything related here
I have the same problem and still investigation about....strange! :evil:
This one had me flummoxed for a while too!
You have to go into control panel and then Phone and Modem options - put in a location and phone code that you are in and it should keep the "+" in for you
When you are in the inbox or any other subfolder. you see the name of the person that sent the mail (From).
Is there a way to get the Sent Items folder to display where the mail went (To)
Thanks
Nii
Huh?
In my sent folders I see the "To:" recipient of the mail.
Maybe you fiddled around your settings.
If you mean the mail itself, when you open it there is a small double arrow at the right bottom of the header. Click it and you see the recipients.
Cheers,
Mundl
have a look at the attachement. all mail from me.
up
You need to select a single mail message. Now you will see double >> facing downwards in your right part of the screen. When you click the double arrows it will be shown where the message went
Thanks for the response but that not what my problem is.
I wanna know if you can have the 'To' column on the main screen rather than the default 'From' column
@pda,
I have on my device (firmware 1.11.01, windows mobile Version 4.21.1088) no option to change it, and I don't need to change, because in sent folder there is already the To: address.
I guess this is a problem with your software version of the device.
We still don't know which firmware versions and/or branding you are using.
Thanks esackbauer
Its an Orange M500
Windows Mobile 2003 Version 4.21.1088 (build 14235.2.0.0)

Maybe you are sync'ing to an Exchange server? Because I have had that exact same problem since I switched to Exchange...
yeah, i was been usung activesync to sync with my exchange server at work.
Thought so...
Well, at least we now know the reason for this problem. Now we only need the fix.
yep :wink:
Hi
I am having an issue that I need some help with. I am trying to set up a second hand K-Jam that I bought on eBay.
Problem:
Activesync appears to work fine and everything seems to synchronize except for any contacts that have contact notes.
New contacts created on the PC with text in the notes field do not synchronize.
New contacts created on either device with nothing in the Notes field synchronize fine.
New contacts created on the K-Jam with text in the notes field synchronize back to the PC fine.
If a contact has had a note in it, if the note is cleared by deleting all text and saving, the contact is still not synchronized.
Operating Systems and programs:
ActiveSync 4.1 installed from scratch
K-Jam ROM 2.16..
Windows Mobile 5.0
What I have tried:
-Hard resetting the K-Jam
-Repairing Outlook 2003
-Running a repair on the PST file
-Removing the Mobile Device profile from ActiveSync and allowing it to recreate the synchronization relationship.
-Copying the contacts out to a different folder, syncing; copying them back
-Exporting the contacts to a CSV file, all other items to another PST. Creating a new PST file, replacing the default Outlook PST and importing all of the OK data. Then importing the contacts from the CSV file (when I first started troubledhooting, I had a subset of contacts that would sync. After doing the CSV import, no contacts would sync - I guess that the CSV import puts something into the contact notes field. New contacts still sync as explained above)
-Synchronizing only Contacts
Other:
I have loads of the following error messages in the WCESLog.log:
03/11/2006 14:06:56.156 p(2936) t(3308) SyncMgr -> Opening Item: echo CreateObject("Outlook.Application").GetNameSpace("MAPI").GetItemFromId("000000006F78E8A9F1B1BF4A9150F98C632AB565A4572200").Display > foo.vbs && foo.vbs - mhelp.cpp(8575)

I suspect that there is some sort of data conversion problem but do not know where to look next.
Any advice will be appreciated.
AS not syncing Calendar, Task or Contact notes PC->PPC
I have found that this problem affects Calendar, Task and Contact items. If I add a simple entry (with no Note) on the PC, it syncs to the PPC fine. If I then add a Note, the changes are not synced. If I add a Note at the same time as the item is created, it is not synced at all. Notes that are created on the PPC are synced back to the PC fine.
Soln: Missing appointments/tasks/contacts containing notes.
I have finally fixed this issue after 3 days of mucking about!!! My phone is syncing all items fine now... I stumbled on the solution in a forum for other software, but it seems to apply to WM5, AS 4.1 and Outlook 2003 too!
As per http://www.sbsh.net/forums/lofiversion/index.php?t8892.html, reregister ole32.dll using:
1. Click Start, click Run, type the following command in the Open box, and then click OK:
Regsvr32.exe %Windir%\System32\Ole32.dll
2. In the RegSvr32 dialog box, click OK.
3. Reboot computer.
4. Create an appointment in Outlook with notes attached and see if it syncs with Outlook.
The applicable text from the source article is:
The library file ole2.dll, is required by windows and is used when performing OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) operations . OLE allows objects created in one application to be embedded in documents/objects created by a different applications e.g. embedding an Excel spreadsheet inside a Word document. OLE is used fairly extensively in windows applications, so if possible you should not remove this file.
If this file is not registered well, it causes a variety of problems with synchronisation. Appointments and tasks with additional notes do not sync, contacts with additional notes or a picture ID do not sync and other programs like SmartphoneNotes can not sync. I found out that a MS security update in december or the beginning of this year also involved an issue with ole32.dll. Because of this something might have gone wrong with the registration of this file in Windows causing all sorts of problems relating to ActiveSync. (Re)registering this file can solve those problems as it did on my system. Since it´s a Windows file that has to be registered anyway, it can´t harm doing it again hoping it solves the problems experienced.
I love you man
I'm having this exact problem (WM6, courtesy of mfrazz, on Wizard) but the above solution didn't solve my problem. Is there a more recent fix I should try?
I love you too.
New stuff now fine, but I have to add a character to all old calendar notes on WM5 to get them to show up in Outlook.
Also glad you posted here because the original article link doesn't work....
You are god man, thanks a lot. Just bought the new Samsung i780 and experiencing this sync issue right out of the box after a pretty flawless experience with a Palm Treo 650 for almost four years was really frustrating. Thanks again.
Thanks a Lot!!.......Great Post....
Just a quick note to say well done to GQ. I have spent almost 7 hours troubleshooting this issue (1 way sync from PC to PocketPc but the other way is fine). Weirdly enough syncing with a spare Smartphone was totally unaffected.
I did everything, Removed\reinstalled AS, Created dedicated inbound\outbound rules for AS in Macaffe, Uninstalled AV, Deleted Partnerships on Device & PC, Decreased mailbox size, Created New PST, Downgraded from Office 2007 back to 2003, multiple Hard Resets....... to name but a few!!!....Tried lots of other stuff, manually searching through Registry for WindowsCE related stuff.
Re registered the DLL, Rebooted tested......Superb!.....Works again!
Top Posting gq......Great solution.

I too am having this problem with my Samsung Omnia WM6, and Win XP ActiveSync... I have 22 contacts with pictures that will not load from phone to PC... "The following contacts failed to synchronize from the device" Support Code: 1
Anyone else have a solution to this??? This one is killing me as I want to be able to actively manage contact pictures on my PC and phone, and use OutSync (for facebook pics to outlook contacts).
Hi Chadwicky:
Same problem here with my Omnia and XP SP3 Activsync 4.5. It did resolve a recurring calendar event issue but the contacts with pictures just isn't syncing up :-(
I think you can do this by installing Sim manager software also. It is a .cab extension file.
i love you too man, same here and worked out fine! should have used the search abit earlier, 6, 7 hours or so ;-)
Tks a lot
Need to confirm this issue happen even in Window 7 with the new Window Mobile Data Center (WMDC) and Outlook 2003 (Still not test with Outlook 2007)
Solution is the same in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=903516&postcount=3
Fixed it for me. Been struggling with this for a month, now my contacts and notes all sync properly. I signed up just to say thanks gq.
Hi,
on my X1 (newest official Rom from Froum R3A) I cant get some numbers snyced from contacts. Some of my contacts have a few numbers and I saved them also under "another (German weitere)" in Outlook. This numbers arent transferred to my x1, is there a soltion for it? I think its a bug and Ill have tu put the numbers under other attributes like home 2 or something else or is there a way without to copy it?
Hello,
I run WM 6.5 (dutch) on my HTC HD2. With ActiveSync I'm able to import my email and contacts from my Gmail account. So far so good, but....
Contacts appear in my contact list with name first and then surename. It's -as far as I could find out - not possible to switch those two.
Example -
David Jones (Gmail) will appear as Jones David (WM)
How can I edit this sequence or has anyone else the same problem? Is there any software update that will solve this annoying problem?

I had exactly the same problem and I still do but I found a way of changing it but you have to do it for ever single one; Go to edit contact - scroll right to the bottom and press more and press file as and change it there. I was this permanent each time I create a contact but I dont know how. =(
or use this handy first-last cab.
dont forget that any new contacts will be saved last-first unless you change that right at the bottom of the edit contact page as in post 2
