Hi i have the blacksone, and this is my first WM6 handset, i'm impressed so far, however each problems i have come a across i seems to have found a solution so far .........
Here goes,
I use the free windows live mail, as i can use mutilple mail accounts, and keep an eye on each accounts with seperate mail inboxes etc etc, however how can i sync my blackstone with this microsoft mail client......or can't I. I use the mail client on the blackstone, however one can only use 5 mail accounts + outlook ( which i have not configured yet, as i now do not use outlook ) and the sms account.
Any help or push me in the correct direction, is there any syncing software i can use without useing M Activesync, i find this quite difficult at the moment, however i'm not used to it !!!
Thanks

Hi,
Contemplating on buying the Hero. I have been using PIM backup for years. Can I migrate it all accross? What is the syncing like with Outlook please?
Cheers,
Will
There is no version of PIM Backup for Android at present (can't see it in the future either).
Though you could use a trial version of 4smartphone.com or a free exchange host to sync your email and contacts and the download them to the hero. This is what I did.
The only thing missing was the text messages - but that was fine for me.
I have gone from a Diamond (Ignito) to a Hero and i love it...
What i did was sync my contact in outlook and then export them to e CVS file and uploaded it to my GMail account.
Sync with GMail and now i have all my contacts on my phone, its great
im uesing roadsync to sync with microsoft exchange ... its works quite well ish apart from the contacts i ended up with two of everything
but calender and email are fine and its free
cant go wrong
Also went from a Touch Diamond to a Hero. All my contacts and calendar were linked with my Gmail account, so transferring it across was a doddle. Only issue at the moment is having a different phone number for 3 days while the PAC code is actioned.
i went from a Touch Diamond to a Hero aswell and all i did was sync my contacts to outlook and then had to sync them back with htc sync to the hero and all was good.
Went from Diamond to Hero, I use HTC Sync for calendar and contacts sync with Outlook 2007, works fine.
I went from a Diamond to Hero too.
Firstly, I can now understand what i have been missing out on by not having a capacitive touch screen!
Also, I synced my outlook contacts with google contacts first. Using some freeware called: GO Contact Sync.
Its a good simple app. From there its easy, the hero will autosync with google contacts and voila!
All you have to do is run the program every so often to keep it all up to date.
I also made the switch but from Diamond2 and after YEARS on Windows Mobile devices... very easy to use. 2007 exchange server working perfectly with Contacts, calendar and mail. It's fantastic. OK there's a few issues with the smoothness of the UI at times but hey I remember the first releases of TFL3D and that was far worse than this... and look how smooth it is now. So. I'm sure this will be improved by HTC very soon.
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).

Hi - I hope it's ok to post this question here. I'm looking at the Tattoo and Hero builds for Vogue, and wondering if there is any way to continue syncing to MS Exchange for my work email and calendar, and also sync with my gmail/google contacts? It looks like the Droid can do this, and there seems to be some 3rd party software for this (but some of it looks sketchy, and without the device I can't check out the Marketplace myself).
It also seems like a really tall order...
I am running the Tatoo build and can confirm that Exchange sync works. I just inadvertently found that I was in fact also synching with my Google account as well. It groups all of your contacts together but does label them so you know where they came from. The Exchange e-mail is seperate from the Gmail email (two seperate apps) so it does not combine those.
I use Outlook (through Exchange) calendar intensely and need it on-line on my phone as well. In my old WM-world this has always been seamless. On the X10, however, I'm having difficulties. The phone's calendar app is linked directly to G-mail which I absolutely don't want to use and while there seems to be the possibility to add other calendars to the phone's view this is actually greyed out in the settings menu. Anyone know how to fix this? I.e. I want to have my Outlook/Exchange calender synchronized with my phone's calendar directly. On the Hero this seems to be standard (HTC no doubt), but here I don't have a clue how to proceed. Hating Moxier with a vengance, BTW...
Help?/M
I think that Exchange is not implemented in Android 1.6 which is why SE included Moxier in the basic functionality*
I am using Moxier Mail and Calender and they work a treat and sync with my work email/calender with no problems...
* Although a friend with a Nexus ONE has also had difficulties syncing his phone calender with Exchange, so it may not be just an Android version issue.

Indeed Exchange is not in 1.6 but it is in 2.1. It IS however on the X10 Mini Pro which is also 1.6. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. I'll find out more when I get a Mini tomorrow...
As any widget I've found to put my short-term calendar on the screen (like in HTC Sense) takes its data from the phone's calendar and NOT from Moxier, I'm screwed. Or not good at finding widgets?
Thanks anyway/M
