I've been having a couple problems these past few days that are specifically with windows mobile:
1. Why are there 3 Music/My Music folders and why does each media player look for music in a different folder. Is there a way to reroute where the media players look for music so I can delete all but one of these. It's really annoying to have "some" songs in 1 folder but "others" in a different one.
2. Why does Activesync when synced with my Outlook mailbox copy over my e-mails but not the settings for my e-mail. I've tried setting it up on my phone manually but keep getting an error.
3. Why do "Files" when synced through Activesync immidiately get stored on the root of the Phone or the Memory stick. Would it be much easier to save "My Documents" in "My Documents" on the phone? Any way to reroute where Activesync stores files?
4. Why do all the tabs with Web Feeds on them not share a common Web Feed list. It's a pain to have to set each one up.
And I think I'm done ranting for now. Has anyone else been annoyed by these problems, or found a solution for any of them?
Why is it when i synchronize my outlook emails with my xi, only the emails in the inbox are syncd. i have many sub folders that also need to be copied
EDIT: Ignore that. find out how it works.

using activesyn 4.2 i still cannot get my outlook contacts to sync with my 838pro. some files sync, some do not; email YES; contacts, favorites NO.

very frustrated
thanks

CONTACTS NAMES HAVE TO BE COMPLETED CORRECTLY. COPY ALL OF YOUR CONTACTS, TO A SUB FOLDER OR ALTERNATIVE FOLDER. DELETE FROM YOUR OUTLOOK ENTIRELY ALLOW THE SYNC TO DELETE FROM YOUR PPC.
THEN COPY, ONE BY ONE BACK, ALLOW EACH TO SYNC, AND CHECK. THEN YOU WILL FIND THOSE THAT SYNC, THOSE THAT DONT, AND START TO IDENTIFY THE ERRORS.
ONCE CONTACTS HAVE SYNC'D, YOU CAN THEN CHOOSE WHICH YOU DONT WANT SYNC'D BY CATEGORIES, PERHAPS YOU HAVE INADVERTANTELY DESELECTED SOME CATEGORIES.
some files sync, some do not;
FILES, IE USING YOUR DESKTOP SHORT CUT, OR DO YOU MEAN DATABASE ENTRIES?
email YES; contacts, favorites NO.
SOME FAVOURITES ARE JUST A PAIN. RELOCATE ALL THE ITEMS ON YOUR DEVICE TO AN ALTERNATIVE LOCATION \WINDOWS\FAVORITES.
DE SELECT THE SYNC FAVORITES. ONCE YOUR PPC FOLDER IS EMPTY, ALSO WIND BACK, OR REDUCE THE AMOUNT YOUR SYNCING FROM YOUR PC.
THEN SELECTIVELY, WHILST CONNECTED COPY 1 BY 1 ACROSS. I FOUND THAT SOME LINKS, OR SOME SYNC'S JUST DIDNT WORK. WHICH STOPPED ALL FROM SYNC'ING.
IT IS GENERALLY RECOMMENDED THAT FAVORITES ARE CONTROLLED BY ONE DEVICE OR THE OTHER, NOT USING COMBINATIONS.... THIS WAS AN OLD 2003 ISSUE, NO SURE IF RESOLVED.
what's my next move?
SYSTEMATIC AND METHODICAL TESTING... IF ALL ELSE FAILS,
1. REMOVE THE PARTNERSHIP, AND RE-PAIR
2. HARD RESET THE DEVICE....
could i have problem with the computer, a tablet pc running outlook 2003?
HIGHLY UNLIKELY TO RELATE TO THE TABLET PC STYLE.
Sorry for the shouting... I was just trying to delineate my comments from yours.
Thanks - I am going to start my trial and error now; will report back after 875 contacts are organized properly! Cheers...
i cant check the checkbox for contacts in syncing using activesync 4.2
what are the possible reasons?
Contacts do not sync - with activsync
Hi
I also have the same problem. I have a t-mobile MDA vario II and normal windows xp computer. I had no problems synching contacts with my orange spv c500 - easy as pie. Now with my vario ii it just refuses I have tried:
1. deleting the partnership a few times
2. hard resetting the device
Neither work.
In fact after the first time the partnership is set up, I found that the tick box to select to synch the contacts was greyed out. This is really frustrating. I take the point above that some contacts work and others might not, but why should this work perfectly well with the SPV and not the MDA?
Many thanks for any suggestions
Having just got an O2 XDA Orbit I had exactly the same problem with my Outlook Contacts not being synched.
I discovered that if I edited the contacts in Outlook in anyway (eg. adding and deleting a space) then the contact was then synched to my phone.
I have never had any problems on my XDAII, Jasjar, nor Jasjam... So not sure where your problems are coming from.
I have multiple sync systems working left right and centre and all appear to be working as I would expect. All I can think of is that you are using incorrect activesync, or incorrect outlook versions, or as above, just edit a couple. Alternatively, follow my previous post, ie create a sub folder, move all of your contacts to the subfolder. Delete all the ones on your device that didnt sync inthe move, copy one across, did it sync, yes ok, move on, if not, investigate, and so on and so forth.
Figured it out
For some reason it was not clear at the and now I don't know what changed, but it works so who cares.
All I did was go into activesync,
Tools > Options and check the contacts box.
For some reason before this was greyed out. At least I can now use this expensive device. Yay!!
Ok I have my Email set up so it polls my 3 accounts. No problem. I encounter a problem is my folders. I transfer my Emails to certain folders to save them for future reference. When I get a Email I cloe it out and then go to "Tools" / "Move" and select the folder to where I would like to save them. I went back several days later and I do not find any of my Emails in any of the folders. I think I have found all of my Emails. If I use "file explorer" go to "windows" then into "Messaging" The file names are xxxxx.mpb. I also found what appears to be my attachments folder with files in the folder. If I try and open the file it gives me a errpr There is no application associated with... run the application first etc. I would like to ransfer the files to the correct folders. But I also tried to do this after sync and I could not find the Email folders that I set up to hold the Emails. Does anyone have this problem and how can I resolve this.
Thanks

Hi,
The HD2 is my first HTC-phone, i like it so far, but i'm searching for a way to sync more folders than just my inbox using Exchange/Outlook-mail.
On my old phone (WM 6.1) i could go to folder-options (or something like that, i'm using the dutch version) and was able to select and deselect more folders.
I cannot find it on this phone, is this a WM 6.5 or a HTC-sense issue ?
(or maybe my own )
Regards,
Martin.
Just got mine on O2 - cant find the option either!
Did you have any joy??
go into your outlook inbox..select tools, then manage folders, then you can check all the folders you want sync'd
I've selected the folders I wanted to Sync on both my GMAIL and Google Apps account but it only downloads messages from Inbox. How do you get it to sync your sent mail and other folders?
Has anyone got extra folders syncd?
I am syncing a lot of folders in Outlook with our Exchange Server. As twisted-pixel wrote then you need to open Outlook E-mail and select Menu, then select Functions and then Manage Folders. The options Functions cannot be seen on the screen and you need to scrool down to it (It took me some time to find it )
In the Manage Folders screen you are able to select the folders you want to synchronize.
I have a lot of favorites in Firefox which I was trying to transfer to htc hd2, so far no luck.
First I export favorites to html, then import html to Internet explorer, move all favorites inside the "Favorite" folder which is the one that phone uses. After I sync the phone with pc I do get some favorites, but many that have been inside folders are dissapearing. After more syns, even more favorites are dissapearing.
Does anyone know a reliable way to transfer favorites to phone?
So far I got two ideas, either add all favorites manually one by one and disable syncing or simply copy the bookmarks.html file over to phone and then use favorites through it.
Maybe someone figured out how to sync properly, though?
Your favourites need to be in the Mobile Favourites folder in IE.
I have the same problem with Mobile Favorites, sometimes they are deleted on the device after sync.
jakem said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes I do know that.
The problem is if you place favorites in mobile favorites and you have sub folders in that folder then after you sync only some favorites from sub folders get synced, and with each sync more and more are getting deleted.
Example
Mobile favorites
link1
link2
link3
link4
link5
folder1
link6
link7
folder2
link8
folder3
link9
After syncing links 1-5 are synced normally, folders are synced as well, but links that are in folders 1,2 and 3 are not synced, or dissapearing after consequent syncs.
I understand your problem now that you've explained it.
Is there a way to synch ONLY the 'sent items' folder via ActiveSync or do you have to also keep copies of the various messages from Outlook also on your phone?
Bump. Anyone?
connect phone to pc, on pc open windows mobile device center, click mobile device settings - change content sync settings - email sync settings - untick the folders you dont want and tick those you do (sent items in this case)
Sorry, I think I didn't express that well. I want to synchronize only the sent items from my phone to Outlook on the desktop so that I can preserve any replies I send from the road while having the original message downloaded to my desktop when I return home. The settings you describe will only synch MS Outlook items with the 'Outlook' folder on my PC, and the accounts I set up on my phone do not appear in the folder tree to be selected. So that configuration won't work for me.
It seems that no combination of what I want is possible with the current software, yet I can't believe I'm the only one with this need.
Let me explain.
I use Outlook on my desktop and only use the phone for reading and replying to messages on-the-fly. Knowing that I will have a copy of the POP message on my laptop (which serves as my home pc also) when I get back at night, I only want to file and keep a copy of any replies I make from the road. My hope was to have any sent items uploaded to my laptop, I can run rules on MS Outlook to autofile to their respective folder structures, and I'm done - both received POP messages and their corresponding replies are preserved.
I own a copy of FlexMail, but it won't synch with Outlook, so that's not a solution. And there doesn't seem to be anything else out there that'll do what I need.
Any thoughts?
Bump. Anyone?
Guys, just to reiterate the question...
How would you get (move/copy/backup) messages from the local email accounts you set up on your HD2, to your Outlook PST on the desktop?
