sync NOTES with Outlook

I am new to X1 & need your help in two issues.
1. Can we sync "Notes" as saved in outlook. The same was being shared & updated during regular syncs of my privious Nokia E series phone. I tried doing it using active sync. It syncs all info except "Notes" & shows "need to resolve".
2. what more bare minimum software I need to add up & from where can I get them. My usage is basic mails, Organiser, schedule etc. Picture editor can be useful.
I know I may be bothering you all but need help...
Cheers..

Are there any notes which are strange/unusual?
Perhaps try syncing without the notes, and then add them back into outlook until you work out which one is causing the problem..

about the notes issue, i had same problem.....try unticking notes from the sync partnership, synchronise, then tick notes and synchronise again.......that worked for me.

Good idea - will keep that in mind.
Ur lucky ur not getting the "Activesync encountered a problem on the desktop." error
That one DRIVES me nuts!!

any alternative to outlook?

i was just wondering if theres any alternative to outlook since alot of us in the family have wm phones , whenever i sync i either lose all my contacts or get all their contacts too, its really frustrating guys haha

flexmail is one
you can use gmail java applet
also why dont you consider not syncing contacts at all . just use the one in pim backup 2.8

You could try hotmail/Livemail. That would sync your email as well as your contacts to your hotmail account and would also give you push syncing so that you would never have to actually plug your phone in.. Then you manually could sync your calender, todo, and tasks to Outlook if you so desired.

How can I sync Contacts with Outlook?

I never used Outlook to sync contacts of my HD2, but today I was going to try and I can't because I allways get one error when trying to sync the contacts.
My device is well synced with my outlook, but contacts don't sync.
I'm using Windows 7.
Any help is apreciated.
Thanks.

Sync contacts from home PC but calandar and mail from work exchange server?

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).

outlook sync woes

hi when i sync my phone with outlook using active sync, it duplicates all my contacts on my phone and on my computer contacts, i now have 3 entrys for each person on my phone and comp, firstly how can i stop this happening and second how can i get rid of duplicates. i would only like to use the sync options for calender and contacts, please help as its really annoying. thanks

Sounds like you are syncing with two different computers or you have an old sync profile still active on the phone? This results.
Options.
1. Remove one of the sync profiles from the phone under Activesync (on the phone not via PC) preferrably the old one.
If all your present PC outlook contacts vanish, dont worry, just look in you deleted items folder in PC Outlook and move the required ones back to contacts.
2. Search the web as there are a few duplicate Outlook item removers around.
