With activesync it seems to have an option box to sync to the server or from the server. Is it possible to do both ways? Or get something that will change the direction...i.e if the xda is in the cradle it syncs from the server if not it will sync to the server?
Any comments or ideas welcome
thanks
Simon
For exchange server, it sync both ways. If you got update from ur PDA it will update ur exchange server, and if ur exchange server is more updated it will update ur pda.
The settings are for those cases where the same contact has changed on both server and pda since last sync.

you cannot sync with your outlook and with an exchange server at the same time. Although active sync proxies the server sync through the cradle/activesync to the server. This way you can connect with the same profile on the road via GPRS as you can on your desk.
The exchange server sync only applies to contacts, agenda and email. the rest can only be synced through activesync.

Soon with Exchange Server service pack 3, Tasks will be included too.
For now, and for syncing multiple folders, (including Public Folders), http://www.odysseyinc.com/Software/On-Schedule/FRAMESET_Remote_ROSSync_index.htm
Outlook is officialy not supportet at mail2web live i think, but is there a way to use your desktop outlook with the free service?
currently i sync my Wizard with my Outlook and the Exchange Service, so i have all things synced between outlook and exchange indirectly, but a direct sync would be better.
Yeah, I've tried messing about with Outlook to get it to connect to the exchange server, but no luck so far. If anybody knows a way, then please post it here!
I think the only way to "hack" the service for desktop outlook would be a OMA Plugin for outlook, to sync with the Server ActiveSync.

Could you post any more info about this?
Ye please! would be very interrested in a solution
If you think it have such a tool you misunderstood.
There are only 2 open doors to mail2web: OWA (Outlook Web Access) and OMA (Outlook Mobile Access). We can forget OWA. OMA is for syncing PocketPCs (ActiveSync Server). So we need a plugin or tool for the desktop outlook, that make it syncing over OMA!
Is there any development in this area. I was looking to sync my web2mail with my Desktop outlook.? Is it possible at all?
Cheers
I am presently using mail2web live very successfully.
I have my comcast email forwarded to the mail2web email address and leave the messages on my comcast server to download later to outlook.
I put the mail2web server source settings into Active Sync. It somehow syncs these server settings to the pda and with my unlimited monthly cingular data plan, I get ALL of my email OTA downloaded to my PDAphone immediately as it arrives to comcast.
Works great.
Yeah, that is possible. I am getting my gmail OTA, which I have forwarded to mail2web. My question was about syncing mail2web with desktop outlook, not mobile outlook. The idea is, then I dont have to sync with PC using USB cable at all. I sync with mail2web OTA, and when I log on to outlook on my PC it will sync with mail2web. So, I dont need a physical connection between PC and handheld. :lol:
This works if you pay $1.99 to mail2web.
However I too would like a free version.
Is it $1.99 per month..?
Yes
http://services.mail2web.com/Personal/EnhancedEmail/
or something I am in the process of trying
getting ADSL with a static IP address / web address and using the OWA MS 2003 server settings, setting my PC as a server, so I can use the MSFP to directly sync in with my home PC ( I think you need XP Pro to do this though, not XP Home).
This will also allow me to VPN in and take anything from home out and about.
I should also be able to do this to e.g. play my music files from my PC on my device. Will let you know how this works.
Unfortunately I am not a software developer, but if any of you need an idea; do what I just said in a one off program that runs on any PC and cradled device - syncs 'em together via GPRS / wi-fi that would be nice.
Just to let you guys know that mail2web now offer a FREE MS Exchange based e-mail account called 'mail2web Live'. As standard you can use it with ActiveSync (...and direct push if you're using WM5).
You also get access to the usual Outlook Web Access (OWA) and Outlook Mobile Access (OMA).
I've been playing around with it for the last few days and I'm well impressed - so much so that I've upgraded to their 'personal exchange' plan - to my mind a bargain for a meagre $1.99 a month. This gets rid of the banner and google ads that do take up the best part of 1/2 of the screen in the free version as well as giving you a gig of space and a few other goodies.
Cheers,

Here's the cheap way of getting picking up emails on outlook and using direct push
Sign up for 2 email accounts, one mail2web account and another email account that uses pop3(or use an existing one).
Set up email forwarding from the pop3 account to mail2web.
Set up your outlook account to leave email on the server.
This way you get the best of both worlds.
Then set activesync to sync to both outlook and mail2web and get the emails from mail2web so thats it uses direct push.
One other thing you could do is to use an advert blocker (like adblock in firefox) this gets rid of the adverts as well.
hope that helps save some cash
thanks

As hedgehog1982 suggestes this is a pretty good option, especially if you have an e-mail address on your own domain. This does have a couple of drawbacks though...
(i)
When you send (or reply to) an e-mail it will come from the mail2web account and not your POP account. You can get around this by setting up both accounts on your XDA (i.e. ActiveSync for your mail2web account and SMTP to send from your own e-mail address) - however, you'll have to remember to send from the SMTP when you send and don't hit reply.
(ii)
You'll effectively get two coppies of your e-mails (one to mail2web on your XDA and one to your POP inbox) - so if you want to delete an e-mail for example you'll have to do it on both. The beauty of the ActiveSync setup is that both server and XDA sync, so if you delete/move/organise your e-mails/calendar/contacts/tasks on either, the other also updates.
There are companies out there that will give you a single (or more) Exchange account(s) on your own domain but this will cost you more - most start from about a fiver a month.
Any way to sync mail2web with Desktop outlook yet?

Guys how do you set in your PPC "both accounts to send from your own email-address" ? My target is to get mails pushed from my corporate exchange server and to be able to reply also using my corporates email address. But our company doesn't allow any remote access to exchange (except VPN with my notebook and OWA).
The only workaround I found is to have redirect emails from exchange server to f.e. gmail, in gmail you can set an alternative email address you can send from (it will fake my [email protected] and send it "on behalf of xx"). This way I can receive and send my emails from my PDA and it looks quite well. But - with gmail I only can pull and not push.
So using mail2web.com I could push and reading your instruction how to set that SMTP in my PDA, it should also work to reply with my corporates address, but there is no possibility to set this you described...how did you do that?
I think what he means is to setup your exchange account as POP3/IMAP, but never use it to receive, only use it to send.
Example:
1. You have ActiveSync setup with mail2web (push), and you setup gmail to forward to this account based on filtering or direct forward.
2. You setup another account with the same details as your exchange server. Have this account setup so that it never downloads. Depending on your setup, you would need to setup either POP3 or IMAP. I would suggest IMAP.
3. When you want to reply to a message, don't hit reply from your 'Outlook Messages' (that's your push email). You would compose a message and use your corporate email servers outgoing SMTP to send it.
However, since you mentioned that exchange is closed except via VPN, it makes me think that they have also closed all other ports.
It might be possible for you to install a VPN client on your device and sync that way?
On my work they only support exchange synchronization with blackberry. They say it is not possible to synchronize without a laptop and using Active Sync.
Is there a way to get over-the-air synchronization on my htc hd2.
if they have outlook web access you can use somehthing like emoze which will do the trick

To see if you can get Exchange Server ActiveSync -- even if they don't "support" it, it may still be enabled -- go to:
https://[your work's OWA hostname]/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync/
If you get a password prompt enter your domain username and password, you should then get an error about an invalid method.
If you get this error message, you should be able to just setup ActiveSync, if not, you'll need to look into an alternative.
Hi, I ahve the LEO with T-mob and cant figure out how to set up amail accounts wothout using Micosoft Exchange server..it must work without that!!? Hopefully..fast reply would be awesome - could not read prior posts yet as I am on work and need info soon cause leaving for Spain tomoroow.

You can set up e-mail accounts with hotmail (Microsoft Live), yahoo, gmail, etc.
The yahoo account should be set up as an IMAP type account, although you can manually set it up as a POP account.
I would suspect that you are having the Exchange account prompt is that you have selected 'mail' when you ActiveSync your HD2 with your computer. Thus the phone is trying to connect to an exchange server when not connected to your computer.
ok..sounds good so can you give me some steps..where to do what..just the general steps..not for every provider
Much appreciated.
so first open outlook on mobile(or!?)
2. do tjis
3...

So what to do now? to make it possible?
Go to the email tab in Sense and go Menu, Add Account. It gives you plenty of options, or you can just go to "other" and enter pop3/imap information that way.
thnks..will try.
Push Service from my Email Server to Galaxy Tab (or other Phones which supports Exchange)
is so great!!
Every change of my Outlook Contacts, Calendars, Mails will automatically pushed to my Tab
over GSM or WiFi, without connecting the Tab to a computer with Kies or other Sync Software.
All you need is a
1. Linux Server i.e. Unbuntu 10.04
(Apache,MySQL,PHP5,postfix installed and working)
2. Zarafa collaboration Server (Exchange like Mailserver)
(Provides POP3, SPOP3, IMAP, SIMAP
100% MAPI stable Outlook Sharing
Outlook "Look & Feel" webaccess)
3. Z_Push
And the best... it's all free.
Seems like a rather convoluted way to achieve something that can easily be done just by having a Gmail account!

Dave
As it was said, you can have the same much easly by configuring your own domain under google.

Having a gmail account isn't a solution for lots of peeps with corporate exchange based email systems. Especially for those that only allow active sync access with no pop or imap.
There are several direct email clients supporting active sync, including the 'built in' android email clients. For example,Touchdown works quite well.
Another proxied-like solution that is a bit simpler than the above is DAVmail http://davmail.sourceforge.net/ This does require OWA on the exchange server, but owa being 'on' seems more common than exchange servers with pop or imap support. DAVmail can get rid of one intermediate 'hop' in the above solution.

Yes, we know that - we're commenting on setting up your own pseudo-exchange server setup just to gain push email!
