yup, either myphone, or Googlesync which you can use Activesync to sync against ur google mail.
Myphone can sync with Outlook?
Bump! Help.
Gmail can be used as a free exchange server, but for now, only to activesync Contacts and Calendars. Email is sync'd normally anyway - but the mail is not emulated as a proper "exchange" server, just IMAP (IIRC). That's still a good start though. I imagine email will follow soon though, now that they're permitting enterprises to sync email through exchange.
Haven't tried MyPhone yet though. Is that full exchange/activesync?

hy, anybody knows a free page, where i can sync my hermes calendar (tasks and appointments) and my contacts? i mean for example over wlan, without a computer between.
regards chief
I use Google Calendar, and Oggsync on the PDA to keep the two sync'd.
Also use SynQ for Outlook so just about every calendar I could access (work, home PC, web based, PDA) is sync'd automatically.
There is a free version of Oggsync... can't recall the limitations of the free version.
HTH.
cool, oggsync is a app i have searched for. but a need such a tool for ontacts too, can i sync them with google?

Not AFAIK.. I sync my contacts using SynQ / Outlook between work-based server. SynQ is free, BTW, if you have access to a server it can use.
I use mail2web.com to sync my contacts, agenda, tasks. I also use their push mail service but you don't have to if you don't want to.

Yahoo does all that perfectly.
Read up on programs called Intellisync and Yahoo Go!
Does anyone know the name of any server software that works the same as MS Exchange.
I don't need Push email, all I NEED is the contact, calendar sync. email is optional but preferable. Sort of like ZYB but with email.
I don't mind if it runs or windows or linux as long as it just works.
edit: sorry, just realized this was posted in the wrong forum.
try mail2web.com that is essentially FREE exchange server online, will do all, including mail aggrigation, ie it'll collect mail from other email accounts aswell.
I signed up for that but the support over there told me there was no way to upload/import my contacts to my address book on their server. My contacts wouldn't sync automatically either so I closed my account over there.

You do have all your contact currently on your PDA isnt it? therefore by the first sync all your contact should be copied to server. sorry If I dont understand your problem.
no you're right bulldog, you understood my problem.
The contacts didn't sync though and when I spoke to support they made it seem like the contacts aren't supposed to sync.
What am I doing wrong??
Ok, found a way to upload the contacts but theres a 100 contacts limit and I've got more than 100.
So solution still pending...
i have a question about mail2web.com:
i have my account and i managed to enable an email filter from to provider acror to mail2web. also i let outlook2k7 to leave the messages on the pop3 server. so i could download all my mails onto my pc and onto my mail2web account.
i added the exchange server to my activesync on my htc prophet and it synced over air very fine. i get new mails onto my pc and onto my mail2web account.
but sadly it looks like this exchange server doesn't support html mails
i just get only normal text mail over the exchange server. did i something wrong, or does their exchange servers not support this WM6 feature?
to sort of solve my own problem.. Kerio Mailserver does everything exchange does.. just requires a small proggie installed with outlook

mail2web servers dont support PUSH HTML....just text... and kiero doesnt support HTML either...
Carnivore:
That's not a problem since its always on as it is! Plus, thinking of getting a VPS so thatll make life easier.
Shaile:
Are you using the free or paid version? I was experimenting with the free one and I couldn't seem to upload more than 100.
Walsh:
Don't really need HTML, nor do I want it. So kerio not supporting HTML is a feature if you look at it from my side =P
Mail2Web configure PDA
I read an article today about Mail2Web and wanted to try it before I recommend it for any of our users. The article said there was a configuration file/program - have anyone of you seen this file - or know how I configure a PDA towards Mail2Web ?
I haven't personally tried it yet...

"Funambol is open source mobile application server software that provides push email, address book and calendar (PIM) data synchronization, application provisioning, and device management for wireless devices and PCs, leveraging standard protocols. For users, this means BlackBerry-like capabilities on commodity handsets."
I am using Kerio MailServer and it works great. No problems so far!!!
- TKN
Funambol isnt really compliant with any of the syncing standards.. Kerio looks like the best option so far as it works with activesync

Thanks dude this one is cool but this one is also not free service. even mail2web has closed free service. I am planning to host Funambol to serve free sync service.
Anyone interested?
Also you can use microsoft myphone service to sync contacts.
www.myphone.microsoft.com
But if you dont want to save contacts online the I guess PIM Backup s/w you can also schedule to take backup. And this even can take backup of mails, message.
Try Google sync
Try Google sync

nuevasync is the way to go
free service does calendar and contacts from google, premiums ($25/yr) does push email.
uses activesync/exchange

Anyone has the answer ???
Thanks in advance for the help.

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.

There is an application "CT Live Sync" may fit your need, but I never try that since my WLM is good for nothing but hotmail. Mind try it out and share with us your test result?
http://code.google.com/p/ctlivesync/
Later this year, Windows Live will turn on Exchange ActiveSync support. This will make it easy to sync with Android and iPhones.
Until then, you can't sync with Live other than POP3 access to your email. I simply setup a gmail account and import all the contacts over and setup Gmail server to fetech emails from my hotmail account and push down to my phone via GMail.
ok, thanks for your info, i guess i will wait until full Exchange ActiveSync support...

So will this phone sync with outlook? Don't see any apps on the sprint or samsung site.
Use Activesync via Hotmail to sync w/Outlook contacts and calendar for free OTA.
there is no way to go directly via the cable? I find that syncing via net changes fields. + I hate hotmail
Well you don't need to use it for email.
I've never had an issue with Exchange Activesync screwing up fields between devices. The Hotmail implementation just happens to be the cheapest one out there.
So in the Epic there is a way to select hotmail as a contact source? or does it have to be done through the email config.?
found a rant at sprint about this:
http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/208546
Looks like samsung has an app that was released for another carrier.
Set it up as a corporate account.
What a PITA,
this is quickly turning into a major headache. Sync shouldnt be that big of a deal. Kies is so bloated.
Sync isn't a big deal if you use Activesync OTA. It happens automagically in the background and everything is up to date.
Using a cable to sync is so 1990.

Please tell me how to do that. You will be a lifesaver I already have everything backed upto hotmail. I'm coming from win mo and I'm lost on android. Thanks

I'll monkey with it some more later today, looks like you can set-up the hotmail email as a corporate account on the EPIC 4G, on the PC side I saw an app from microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...89-af2e-41f9-a175-f93e1377959f&displayLang=en
that should allow synchronization from PC to hotmail. I'll whip-up a tutorial later today after I can test it out.
I'll be following this closely.
I was able to get all of my Outlook contacts loaded without losing anything (i.e pictures), by saving them all as .vcf files from Outlook, placing them on the SD card under a "contacts" folder, then on the Epic telling it to import all of the .vcf files from the SD card. That let me get all my Outlook contacts loaded without having to push them up to a Gmail account, then back down to the phone, losing some of the extra stuff Outlook stores, but it's a static operation, meaning if I change a contact on the phone or in Outlook they're out of sync then, and also no syncing of the calendar.
Hopefully syncing Outlook to Hotmail via the add-in, and then using the Hotmail to sync the phone will bring over all the info.

Settings -> Accounts -> Manage Accounts on the Epic (or any other Android device).
Add account and choose "corporate."
On the PC side, grab the Hotmail Outlook connector (free from MS) to sync Outlook directly. Or use Windows Live Mail which syncs natively to Hotmail by default if you don't want to pay for Outlook.
When I try it keeps say can't connect to server. It puts as "\my username" then has sever name as hotmail.com . Then I get a "unable to connect to server" what am I doing wrong. Thanks

You should be able to go into menu>settings>accounts and settings> add account and it will ask what type. The moment used Moxier not sure what is on the Epic as I have to wait a few more days for mine but I will let you know as soon as I do!

how did you go about getting the contact files (currently *.msg) into the *.vcf format?
I kept trying over and over and all I would get is something like " unable to connect server" I finally gave up. I went to the gmail account they make you setup to use marketplace. I when to setting, import contacts and put in my hotmaill account and it got all of the contact. The went to my phone, went to accounts, found my gmail account and synced my gmail account on my phone. Now all of my contacts are on my phone. I not as woried about my calander. I will just use google calander to add my dates. The year is almost over so it's not that much to update manually.
