There is any freeware that I can sync my data from the diamond to outlook express (and the opposite way)?
I think you want Active Sync mate, you get that from Microsoft.
If you running XP, you want the Active Sync..
If you running Vista, you want the Device Center...

I think that the active sync is only sync the outlook but not the outlook express!!!
If I wrong please tell me how to do it...
THANKS!!
Ah sorry i didnt notice the 'express' in your original post.
I think you are right, only Outlook is supported.
I have not heard of anything that would work with Express, i had this issue some months ago when had another htc, i installed the full Outlook in the end so i could use Active Sync
search for "Syncdata SyncExpress" on google!
Thanks but I wrote that I want free software to sync with the outlook express...
there is no freeware for this,

I understand that the Cingular 8125 comes bundled with Microsoft Outlook (I don't know which version of Outlook).
But, does this version of Outlook sync with Windows Vista or just XP?
If not with Vista, how do you sync the 8125 with a PC running Vista? (Bonus second question.)
Thanks

Are you sure it comes with Outlook or does it just WORK with Outlook? I am on TMo so I can't say what Cingular does or doesn't do but I had Office 2003 already and the phone syncs with the Outlook I already use.

Correct, just like the MDA, Cingular 8125 (and 8525 for that matter) does not come with Outlook for your PC. You have to have Outlook already.

I thought all Pocket PCs (with or without phone capability) come with some version of Outlook. All of my older Pocket PCs sure did.
As greedy as Microsoft may be, I can't believe that they expect you to buy Outlook separately in order to sync your Pocket PC.
They do. My 8125 came with Outlook 2002 on the CD. Don't know if the posters above didn't look hard enough, or bought an 8125/MDA without the CD.
Edit: See Attachment. Its greyed out since I already have Outlook 2007 installed.

Thanks for the info!
Do you know if Outlook 2002 works with Microsoft Vista?
Here's what I found from here: http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/vista.htm
"Outlook 2002: It runs, but email account passwords are not saved. After you enter the password during the first email check, Outlook will remember it until you close down Outlook. This is because Outlook used the protected storage interfaces to store passwords and these are no longer supported in Vista. Unless Microsoft decides to create a publicly available hotfix to address this, you won't be able to save passwords. Outlook 2002 is outside of mainstream support so this is unlikely to happen as it's not a critical security hole.
Note that when you enter the password, the Send and Receive that brought up the password dialog may fail but future send and receives will work. Leave Outlook open 24/7 to avoid entering it frequently. "
Didn't see a fix anywhere. Probably won't since Outlook 2002 is no longer supported by Microsoft.

Cool! So far so good!
So if Outlook 2002 runs on Vista does that necessarily mean that it will sync with it? (I heard something about ActiveSync being replaced by something else in Vista.)
Vista uses Windows Mobile Device Center. I don't see why it won't sync, it may require the sync plug in (also on the CD). Couldn't tell you myself.
Maybe the Outlook 2002 that's bundled with the 8125 won't sync with Vista after all? (Vista uses "Windows Mobile Device Center" which replaces ActiveSync)
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
System Requirements
Windows Mobile Device Center is currently only available for the following versions of Microsoft Windows Vista™.
Microsoft® Outlook® XP, Microsoft® Outlook® 2003, and Microsoft® Outlook® 2007 messaging and collaboration clients are required for synchronization of e-mail, contacts, tasks and notes to a Personal Computer.
Guess I may not get the 8125 after all. Am I missing something?
On my old phone (Nokia) i could sync my contacts into Windows address book on my laptop. Now I've got the Vario2 and vista on my laptop the sync will only let me download my contacts into microsoft outlook- which I don't have and do not want to pay loads more money. How do i back my contacts up or get outlook free
I recently found a program called "PIM Backup". It allows you to back the data up to a file which you can then copy off.
Try looking here or off a similar thread for the download link -

Hi.
Have a similar problem
Using Outlook Express for Email and instead of MS Office / Outlook we use Open Office [its free ]
Found a link to connect O.E. YET to try it, but it is ...
http://www.reunion.com/site-root/download_reunionforoutlook.jsp
Also if you know of a calendar plugin for O.E., please post it
i use Jeyo Mobile Companion, brilliant for backing up contacts, sending SMS via pc.
Its different to some others in the fact that you compile the sms as you would an email but it sends it via the phone, so no internet connection needed.
Its brill at work, save "un-cradling" then reply/send sms then cradle, its all done with a swift alt-tab. heh
Alternative to ActiveSync
I haven't (yet) tried it but there is a project called FinchSync (http://www.finchsync.com) which claims: "FinchSync is a tool for synchronizing contacts, appointments and tasks from Mozilla email and calendar products with a Pocket PC or SmartPhone."
If anyone has any hands on experience with this program I for one would be interested to hear about it...?
you could set up a mail2web account which is push email and has a outlook style web based interface allowing you to sync everything contacts,calendar and tasks Did i mention its FREE. www.mail2web.com

You're using Vista? The WMDC will let you Sync your phone with your Vista Contacts - no problem - infact you should now also be able to Sync your mail with Windows Mail and if memory serves your calendar with Windows calander - all things that with XP you had to have Outlook to do!
EDIT
Sorry - seem to have spoken to soon. The beta version of WMDC allowed for Syncing with those programs - I always use Outlook so I haven't even really looked at those settings since - it appears that it was something they supported in the Beta and dropped from the final edition which is quite unfortunate! (probably just trying to sell more copies of outlook). A free work around might be to use Microsoft Live Mail e-mail client (Not Windows Mail) and then install the windows live messenger and set it up to sync your contact details with Live Messenger and then the Live Mail client should then have a synced version of your contacts - just another idea - sorry bout that!
hi,
i'm an newbie and have a problem with my xda mini.
I don't get the contacts synched with my pc.
Active Sync says its synching contacts. But when
I'm opening Outlook Express it won't show any of them.
Is there a posibility to download the Adress-Database
directly?
Thanks.
Contacts will not be sync with Outlook Express.... Do you have MS Outlook installed, if yes then it will available there....
Hope this helps....
Maharishi
thanks - i see. is there another possibility to get the contacts. f.e. with some freeware program?
hi, you have a legal copy of outlook 2000 bundled with your magician... everyone has...
got the xda second hand
i think only outlook can syn with your mini
okay thank you guys.
Is there a contact manager for the PC?
I went and synced my phone and its downloaded all MSN contacts and email address etc and its a mess.
Ive got email address not linked to phone numbers n stuff and its a nightmare to sort on the phone.
Any software which lets me do it on the PC?
How about Outlook?

You must be kidding. I HATE that program lol

Do you have installed "outlook" or "outlook express" ?
In activesync do you see other options? like "files sync" or "media sync"?

I also hate outlook, coming thru win 98 to xp with outlook express which Im very used to.
I had to install outlook a few times to get it to work with my x1, my outlook is configured not to be the default mail program on the pc so I still use out-express on the pc and only start outlook for syncing the x1.
It (mine) keeps a different address book from express so you can configure what you want in outlook and sync to phone as required.
It took me a couple of hours to sort my contacts from uiq.
Hi fellas,
I got a quick question - I'm currently syncing my x1 to my work microsoft exchange server, syncing up everything but contacts (as I don't want my personal contacts on the work servers).
Is it possible to also sync my outlook from my home computer (for personal contacts) and keep my work microsoft exchange synced up as well?
Thank you.
Cheers.
I sync my x1 with both my vista laptop and my desktop xp that works fine
I sync my PC and then I lose my microsoft exchange sync. So I don't think it is possible.
