To move my WinMo caontacts over, I did this (fairly painless):
1) export Contacts via Outlook as CSV;
2) upload Contacts.csv to GMail/Contacts;
3) clean up the items I didn't want/need on my phone.
These aren't constantly synced, but everything is all moved over, no problem.

Hi
I have 2 Google Apps accounts (one personal and one work)
From what I can tell, you can only sign in with one account into Android and to access the other Mail i will have to use IMAP. Fair enough, i can live with that. But i'm not sure i can live without both cals or google talk on both (or any other aspects which I have yet to check on, such as lattitude, although I cant actually find latitude on my maps app.)
Is there a way of
* syncing more than 1 calendar?
* logging into more than one account in google talk (IM app or others) as when you access the IM prog it brings up a page which looks like it should list all of the accounts you want to access... which, if you cant access more than 1, is a little pointless from what i can make out.
I dont suppose cupcake makes any of this possible does it?
cheers
Hi,
I know that the calendars can be done.
I have several google and apps accounts.
The account you use as the primary needs
to be given FULL access to the other calendar.
Go to the secondary account and do the sharing
and access stuff. I had to dig around a little for
the right procedure in the google help forums. Once
your primary user can edit events on the web for the
secondary calendar then all should be well. Remember
to color code them. I am currently working with three
calendars. They all will show up as one and color coded.
You can't open separate instances for each calendar.
When you add an event on your phone you get a dropdown
to choose which calendar to add it to.
K9 Mail (free app on the Market) is an excellent client that supports multiple IMAP/POP3 accounts.
For calendar sync, it's a little more trickier. You need to share your 2nd calendar with your main one by doing the following:
Sign into Google with your 2nd account.
Go to Calendar, and click on Settings link (top right corner)
On the Calendar Settings page go to "Calendars" tab.
Click the "Share this calendar" link.
Under the "Share with specific people" section, enter the e-mail address of your primary account, select "Make changes AND manage sharing" permission setting, click the "Add Person button, and finally click the "Save" button.
Log out of Google.
Sign into Google with your primary account and go to Calendars.
Go to Settings and verify that the calendar from your 2nd account is now listed under "My Calendars" section.
On your G1 open the Calendar app
Press the Menu button, select "More" and then "My calendars" option.
Press the Menu button again and select "Add calendars" option. This should sync up and present you a list with your 2nd account's calendar.
Select it, save and exit the Calendar app.
Repeat steps 1 through 12 for adding more calendars from your other accounts.
You're done.
I still haven't found a way to sync contacts from multiple gmail accounts. Maybe there's an app for that?
har har har everything works except this hmm. How bout adding all your work contacts to your regular account and make it into a group named "work". That way they don't mix or you can pull up fast.

That work-around is a one-way sync though. Time to put in a feature request at Android Google Code group.
For some strange reason my Windows Live stops syncing with my hotmail account after a while. Every time it happens I seem to have to re-set up my hotmail account details for it to work again. A re-boot of the phone doesn't make a difference.
Looking at the "sync status" it shows me that it is attempting to sync every 15 minutes like I set it up to, but from the "last synchronised" I can see that it's not syncing.
Anyone else have the same issue?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant the email program (which I referred to as outlook) on the HD2, go to your inbox and then go to the menu option.. and so on.

I use gmail trough exchange to sync my email, calendar, and contacts, that may be why mine is different.
OMG, thank you so much.
Damn they made that difficult! Thanks for the help!!

-download size: full message
-automatically download images
Just an FYI
Anyone else notice this?
When I go to my GMAIL account setup, Calendar does not appear on the list (Contacts does). Does anyone know why and/or what I can do to make sure that Droid 2 sync's with my Google Calendar?
no worries.
Android only allows one account to sync calendar information. But, you're not out of luck. You can share all of the other accounts' calendars into the main (initial) gmail account you entered. I'm doing this with multiple calendars through the one main account, and it works great.
Go to the 'other' calendar accounts through a computer browser and share (full permission share) with the one account that is synced properly. It's easy, fun, and fulfilling!
From my research ... this solved it for me:
From a different forum ... this worked for me:
1. Go to 'my accounts' on droid 2
2. Click on 'create account'
3. choose google account
4. Follow the process for creating a new gmail acct not just adding your original to create a dummy account
5. Make sure all sync options are checked
6. Finalize account creation
7. Go to your calendar and create a new event using your ORIGINAL gmail acct not the new/dummy account
8. Save event
9. Go back into my accounts and check your original account sync options, calendar should now be there
10. Remove your dummy account from your phone
Awesome!!
Simple process and it works
