Hello All,
Used to have a windows based Mobile phone, but recently bought the HTC Desire and it's working great. Only problem I have is that I used Intellisync on my HTC TD2 to read my emails from work (Groupwise). But don't know wich software to use on an Android based mobile phone ?
Anyone has the answer ???
Thanks in advance for the help.
Greetings,

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.

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?

Hi there
I used the search function but i couldn't find anything.
What I always missed on the Windows Mobile device is to use two exchange servers on one phone. I have my work exchange server and my private one. I always thought I cannot change that since it is not possible. But some days ago somebody at worked showed me that his Nokia phone which runs on symbian is able to do that.
I was wondering if there is any application or something else that makes it possible to have two exchange servers running on one device. The work one should just sync the E-Mails and Appointments, no contact.
Thank you very any information.
Yes there is... its call a Blackberry... bum ta bum... ok now with my joke out of the way...
Well, there is this one program... i can't promise its the best solution... but its called Funambol (funambol.com)... it is a free program that can sync with ur exchange email if i'm not mistaken... and the program creates a email tab (internet tab) on ur phone, but the program (cab file) itself u can change the auto sync settings on it...
it won't be a fast as exchange server directly but u gotta pic and choose ur battles... otherwise u need to hope someone figures out BB connect fast on the TP2

You actually CAN sync with more then one Exchange server on Windows Mobile, but there are some requirements:
-Server with email has to be configured LAST
-Can only use a service once (if you use calendar on one server, you can't sync another)
-Can sync a maximum of 4 servers, one for each service: contacts, calendar, tasks, email.
-Configuring more then 1 Exchange Server breaks ActiveSync, meaning you won't be able to run ActiveSync software on the PC. You will still be able to connect and view a device through other means, My Mobiler, through My computer, etc.
Make sure you have no ActiveSync accounts setup. Goto ActiveSync and manually create a server connection to your NON-EMAIL Exchange Server. Create your Exchange through mail setup.
I personally sync my calendar and contacts from Nuevasync.com and I sync my email from my works Exchang server.

If the requirement is to have Email from both accounts but just contacts and calander from one thani suggest you use Activesync and IMAP. Setup Activesync for one account and IMAP/SMTP for the other.
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).

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...

Hi All
After I moved to Android (And very happy I did) I am looking to upgrade to 2.3.2. After I did I am not able to sync with outlook. I used HTC SYNC.
It there something I am doing wrong or is there a other app I can use.
Thank you in advance
The best thing to do in this situation is to read the Forum Rules.

and after that install nitrodesk touchdown (exchange client for android)
Stop syncing with Outlook.
I recommend, open GMAIL account, then sync with GMAIL instead, and if you want to sync back to Outlook, download googlesync for outlook.
You can try this:
http://www.android-sync.com/
It uses ADB to sync.
However, connecting an Android phone to a computer is somewhat waste of time, everything can be done wirelessly including charging nowadays anyways.
MyPhoneExplorer
I recommend MyPhoneExplorer to sync Android builds with Outlook. Using it since it came out and it works great. There's even WLAN syncing supported (you need a plugin from the Market do be able to use WLAN). Also available from Market. Great software and comfortable as hell. Only downside: No Outlook category support.
Cheers, Olioaglio

+1, good program
If you use Outlook and sync on a work pc in an environment which is locked down and you can't just install all of these apps being suggested, just try re-installing HTC Sync and the HTC drivers. Works for me.
I'll assume you don't have Exchange. If you do, then just sync directly with Exchange. I you prefer all the benefits of having an Exchange account but want it for personal use, Microsoft now gives ActiveSync/Exchange support with all Hotmail accounts. Just get a hotmail account.
Gmail account is good for personal use, but I prefer all the interactivity that Microsoft has.
If you just want to sync, I'll second the vote for MyPhone Explorer
