Contacts Question

Ok so i have my touch synced to my hotmail account and on my laptop i have the outlook plugin to sync my hotmail account.
i have a copy of my contacts on my outlook for back up so when my phone sync i get double contacts from syncing to the hotmail account and when i plug my phone to the laptop to sync.
is there anything i can do so i wont have to keep deleting double contacts? every time it sync's to either one.

Disable "Sync Contacts" on your device.

when i do start / programs and go under activesync when i click on menu / options then uncheck contacts it give me
to proceed activesync must remove all contacts synchronized to our device, i dont want to remove them from my device.
is there another way?

You should select Options - Settings - and under "If there is a conflict", select the corresponding options to resolve your issue.

Outlook account missing from Mail home page

Somehow I seem to have lost the "envelope" icon for the Outlook account on my Mail Home page.
I have two POP3 mail accounts and the Outlook account and previously there were "envelope" icons for all three accounts together with the new message icon on my Mail home page.
Now I just have just have two envelopes for the POP3 accounts and the new message icon - the Outlook "envelope" has disappeared. If I go to the Inbox all three accounts are there as before and work normally.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can restore the icon to the Mail page without a hard reset ?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

try switching off mail synchro in active-sync on PC -> activate a sync once -> reboot the phone -> switch active-sync on PC on again -> sync once again -> check phone

rhtizzy, many thanks for the response and the suggestion.
Sadly it made no difference. The process removed and then restored all my Outlook mail but there is still no "Envelope" icon for the Outlook account on the Mail TouchFlo Screen.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I've got the same issue. My push mail is coming down to outlook and I even get the new mail displayed as a little envelope with the number of mail on it at the base of the screen. However the main screen is blank and says No account and I only get the option to add a new one. If I go into messaging everything works fine. Any help would be gratefully received.

Having done a good trawl around google it looks like the issue may be Intellisync. Other users who have it display the same issue. It is down to the lack of harmony between TF3D and intellisync. I haven't found a work around or fix yet although someone mentioned hotsyncing to a new outlook programme at least created the mail account if not all of the settings. Sadly I also can't sync to any desktops as it looks like Intellisync is blocking me.

Found the solution
Ok - It looks like I've found the workaround. My guess is that intellisync is added seperately and so doesn't add the outlook details to the main mail page. 1/ First make sure that you turn on the 'activesync' as this is disabled by intellisync (settings for this are in the 'settings/activesync' area of intellisync program)
2/ Make sure that your desktop or laptop has either activesync (for xp) or mobile sync software (for vista) installed.
3/ Set up a new partnership ensuring that 'mail' will synchronise.
3/ Sync with Ms Outlook. NB - I advise using a clean install of ms outlook to ensure no conflicts.
4/ Your mail account is now added to TF3D with full interaction with your account:!

Google Sync via ActiveSync Won't Let Me Check Calendar Box

Trying to setup Google Sync on my HD2 like it says on the Google Sync website.
Everything works except when selecting which items I want to sync, the Google Calendar check box is faded out and cannot be selected.
How do I sync my Google Calendar then?

Anyone know how to get it syncing?

just asking
you are using active sync
then unselecting the things it wont sync like text messages
and at the begining of the setup select manual rarther than the automatic setup option that seems to be the default
then server setting m.google.com
im only asking as i have always used this method as it works so brilliantly , all your email contacts and calander sync at all times , love it !

Had to access ActiveSync from the Start menu using the default Windows Mobile interface rather than the HTC Sense version...got it to work now.

[Q] exchange sync outlook contacts folders?

Hi,
I wan't to sync more than just one contact folder with my outlook through activesync.
In my outlook I have contacts and 2 more contact folders.
one Is the same level as contacts and the other is it's subfolder.
neither one seems to sync with android excepts original contacts.
when I go to contacts -> menu -> display options -> my outlook account I can only check all contacts to sync.
and under my google account I can check any contacts folder I have on gmail.
I use Froyobread v017 and build-in mail application.
Mail and original contacts folder sync ok.
I couldn't find any settings to enable syncing of other folders in my phone, neither any solution on xda or google.
So any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Try "My Phone Explorer". I use this for syncing my Outlook-Contacts, but I don't know if it supports multiple folders, cause i only have one. But you could give it a shot.
Just google for it. You can find a client in the market.

Thank you, but I'm not trying to sync with my comp but directly with my company's exchange server.
