Hi there,
I was wondering if Outlook was the only program available to sync thc HTC HD with, or whether there were other alternatives.
Sorry if this is a complete noob question.
Thanks!
No my Dear there is none.
Well I found 'Birdiesync'.
It will sync both Thunderbird and Sunbird (Mozilla's freeware mail and calendar) to an HD.
I've got it working, and it seems to work well.
Birdiesync will cost a small amount, but not much compared to Outlook!
Umm, you could sync your mobile with Gmail/Calendar/Contacts using Nuevasync...
Try here:

While I do understand Gmail is not an application, that is the only email client I use... apart from Outlook

cheers

does it can solve your problem?
i'm installing mnotes on monday. Will let you all know how it's configured.
Cheers
I use companion link to do a one way sync to google calendar (have had problems using two way - wouldn't recommend it), and ogg synd to sync google calendar with my HTC Touch Pro.
Works like a charm, although my laptop (with Lotus Notes on it) has to be running and connected to update my goolge calendar.
If you're a blackberry user, you can also use the google sync app for blackberry (from google) to sync your calendar, although again, I had issues with two way sync (duplicate entries, changing meetings to appointments which sent a decline/cancel to other attendees).
I've also used mnotes in the past and found it to be excellent, but never used the ota functionality.

Hi all - got my HD2 three days ago and still tweaking bits and bobs as I see fit!
One of the things I haven't been able to work out is whether I can sync the calendar with my personally hosted .ICS calendar files? I host them on a personal FTP for shared use in Lightning/Thunderbird.
Is there any way at all of syncing them with my HD2? Whether it's a bit hacky and goes via Google Calendars or something else I don't really mind, as long as it works remotely.
Thanks in advance .
Argh, dropped off the first page already! Anyone?
i guess the google calendar is way to go. but it would be great if a XDA expert could post an a possible solution
I would like to see either HTC offer something to sync up to Yahoo calendar, or at least a third party app to sync up to Yahoo calendar myself!
Yahoo has now done away with the Yahoo GO! app, oddly enough only months after creating a "new" iphone App. Why does Yahoo always give Windows Mobile the finger?

Hi. I don't have a HD2, but in this period I am evaluating the purchase of a new WM smartphone, and I am searching info about my main requirements. One of them is just the sync with Outlook or (better) with Lighting/Thunderbird. Until now, I found that the best solution seems BirdieSync, http://www.birdiesync.com/features. Unfortunately it is not freeware, but it appears the most suitable for the task. I saw on the site that there is a full-functional demo, maybe you can try it.
Hope this helps.

Anything to synch to Yahoo Calendar?
Yahoo! Ical Sync
the new yahoo calendar beta has ical sync support, so if you can sync to ical you can sync to yahoo calendar beta....
"Can I sync with Live or Google Calendar?
Last Updated: March 02, 2010
Yes!
When you share your calendar with any user, that user will receive an email that will guide them through subscribing to your calendar.
Toward the bottom of that email, there will be a URL that looks like this:
ht[tp://calendar.yahoo.com/yahoo-id/XXXXXX/CalendarName.ics?id=001.
Anyone using a calendar that supports the iCalendar or .ics formats can use this URL to sync to your Yahoo! Calendar."

Hi
I was just wondering if it possible to sync my contacts from my home PC using Outlook and my calandar and mail from my works Outlook exchange server on the HD2.
I am a current iPhone user and am interested in moving over to the HD2 as it looks like an awsome phone. I can do the above on the iPhone but can't find any information as to wheather this is possible on the HD2. Searched the forums but can't find an answer!
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
I don't see why this wouldn't be possible.
You can select to only link (via Exchange) your calendar and mail, I've done this. Then you just need to configure Activesync or Mobile Device Center to sync your contacts with Outlook.
Yes you can, a friend of mine has it set up that way. As Nighthawk said, it's just a case of configuring the sync right (you just have to tick boxes, so nothing challenging there!)
Dont know whether it helps, but I use an excellant app called Chronobis which allows me to pull (one way) my calendar from my work exchange server. It will also handle email & contacts.
I'm using this as I dont want to mix my home outlook contacts & calendar which I sync with Active Sync with my work stuff.
So I sync normally with Activesync and then download my work calendar which merges with my HD2 calendar... when I do an activesync... both work and home calendars are then together in Outlook.
I think in your situation you will be fine as you are not trying to "merge" contacts and calendars from 2 places at the same time.
Brilliant, thanks for your replies guys.
Yes this can be done, i do this with two exchange servers, one from my work and the other my gmail account.
Basically i sync my calendar and contacts with both and only sync my email from work.
I did this on my polaris and now on my hd2. Initially i wasn't too sure if the the hd2 would do this natively so i went with the regitry hack i used on my polaris. Perhaps someone could confirm that this can be done on the hd2 without the registry hack.
Here is the link to what i did with my polaris (and now my hd2).

Anyone has the answer ???

I just set up my groupwise email account as an IMAP account (you could do pop3 too) and it works fine. For calendar I set up a rule for all posted appointments to be delegated to my gmail calendar and then that syncs with my phone

Unfortunately not all IT departments allow IMAP/POP with the Groupwise server (my company included)...so I'm stuck trying to find some 3rd party software that can sync my corporate Groupwise e-mail to my new HTC Desire....
Do you have MS Outlook at your disposal? I find that if I install Groupwise on m computer first, then install MS Outlook, Outlook picks up my Groupwise account automatically. Then I use Google's free calendar sync utility on the computer to sync everything from Groupwise to Google Calendar. Really, once you get it set up, it mostly takes care of itself. I have no further special knowledge however, I just installed it and it worked for me.

FYI, this only works with GW7 and Outlook 2003. The magic is done by something called Groupwise Outlook Connector, which has been discontinued for GW8 and does not support Outlook 2007.
I've heard rumours that GW8 installed over GW7 still retains the connector, and thus is able to work with Outlook 2003. Not sure about it though.
Hmmm.... I have Groupwise version 8 and Outlook 2007, and it's worked fine for me. I honestly can't remember at the moment whether I ever had the older versions of these apps installed on this machine.
Hi All
After I moved to Android (And very happy I did) I am looking to upgrade to 2.3.2. After I did I am not able to sync with outlook. I used HTC SYNC.
It there something I am doing wrong or is there a other app I can use.
Thank you in advance
The best thing to do in this situation is to read the Forum Rules.

and after that install nitrodesk touchdown (exchange client for android)
Stop syncing with Outlook.
I recommend, open GMAIL account, then sync with GMAIL instead, and if you want to sync back to Outlook, download googlesync for outlook.
You can try this:
http://www.android-sync.com/
It uses ADB to sync.
However, connecting an Android phone to a computer is somewhat waste of time, everything can be done wirelessly including charging nowadays anyways.
MyPhoneExplorer
I recommend MyPhoneExplorer to sync Android builds with Outlook. Using it since it came out and it works great. There's even WLAN syncing supported (you need a plugin from the Market do be able to use WLAN). Also available from Market. Great software and comfortable as hell. Only downside: No Outlook category support.

+1, good program
If you use Outlook and sync on a work pc in an environment which is locked down and you can't just install all of these apps being suggested, just try re-installing HTC Sync and the HTC drivers. Works for me.
I'll assume you don't have Exchange. If you do, then just sync directly with Exchange. I you prefer all the benefits of having an Exchange account but want it for personal use, Microsoft now gives ActiveSync/Exchange support with all Hotmail accounts. Just get a hotmail account.
Gmail account is good for personal use, but I prefer all the interactivity that Microsoft has.
If you just want to sync, I'll second the vote for MyPhone Explorer
