Hi,
Using ActiveSyng 4.1 (Build 4841), XP SP2.
XP Firewall settings look fine.
All contacts and appointments synchronized, no problem, but those with notes are not synchronized.
I can create a contact on my wizard, with notes, which is sync'ed with the laptop, but this sync stops whenever I change the notes on my PC...
I had a similar problem today.
I have my mda vario for a day now. last night I first played with it and synchronized it with my outlook (which is stand alone when I am not at work)
Today at work I started up my outlook and it synced with my server at work.
Then I synced my vario and suddenly all my agenda appointments disapeared on my vario.
Only solution was to sync with my laptop again without it being connected to the server at work
Hi,
I have the same problem, i erased qtek's memory, uninstalled office and activesync, delete all repertory and keys in regedit, but it changes nothing : it won't synchronize but with my work computer it is ok. I have put my pst files from house (data file from outlook) at work and it synchonizes too.
I don't understand :
it is not my QTEK 9100 because it synchronize fine at work
it is not outlook, pst file or activesync (4.0 and 4.1, both are tried)
so what is it ???
I am thinking that there is only one solution : format c: :-(
Please if you have an idea, help us !!!

PS : it was ok before, but i don't know what i have done that made that it doesn't work, i have only Kapersky antivirus, no firewall and vnc (to control computer through internet)
Same problem here. Only i was using a Palm E2 and converted everthing to outlook. After synching, everthing but my appointments synched to my wizard. A bit of a catastrophy saving and reimporting the pst file.
Finally someone suggested deleting the profile, then resynching to outlook, providing all data is either on outlook or the wizard, as you have to option to copy everything from either source to the other, and presto seemed to work.
Still having problems with outlook though, after importing either archive or loading a different pst file, i dont seem to have all my info and it seems my calendar is always opening from an archive instead of outlook today.
Will reinstall outlook completely. In any case try recreating the profile.
I have destroyed andrecreate my profile too.
But i changes nothing.
I think that if you have take all data from your wizard, you have certainly lose your note, is it the case ?
I have forgotten to say that only data with note or contact with photo don't synchronize but if you delete all information from outlook and you synchronize your pocket that contains these data, outlook save the contacts, but after, if you add a new contact with note, photo or an appointement with note, activesync doesn't see them. If you change a contact with note/photo that come from the wizard (ie name...) wizard doesn't synchronize it.
The problem is that i don't understand what is the problem source....

What version outlook are you using? did you make sure that notes was checked in the list of programs to synchronise? Also be sure that wizard overwrites the pc data.
Other than that, if you want to try reinstalling outlook. Be sure to save an archive or backup first (I didnt really know how to reload the pst, ie from archive or backup because it shows on outlook as archived folder instead of outlook today! ?????) Thats my next step as well. I'm also going to try to install outlook 2003.
When I speak about notes it is notes contains in other data like note in contact or note in calendar.
The Note section synchrinize... but contact that have a photo or a note, note !
I have destroy all sort of data and it doesn't work, i am sure that it is not link with oulook.
Fixed for me, since I got a new computer. Problems seems to come from the version of ActiveSync. Funny enough, if I first get an error message when syncing, reinstall ActiveSync, then it works, if I do not get this message on first sync, then it does not work...
I think that it could be a good idea that everybody who had the same problem says what running programm is installed on his computer.
For me it is Kaspersky antivirus personna, vnc, nokia toolkit, nero 7, bluetooth driver, vnc.
I have others but i don't think that they could be linked with this problem
Nobody wants to reply ????
Hi Shoopy33,
I took me days to install my desktop properly. Microsoft is cleaning things now with the newest version. What you might want to make sure is that you have Genuine versions of both Windows XP, and Microsoft Outlook. That means that both Windows XP and Outlook need to have SP.
Many things could go wrong if you have a non Genuine version installed in Windows XP. For instance, if you have a Genuine Windows XP but with a non-Genuine Office XP with Outlook, you cannot just desinstall the non-Genuine Office XP, delete all registry files, and install a Genuine Microsoft Outlook version. You'll be stuck!!! It's a nice way from Microsoft to say FU.
Simply put, you'll need to reformat your hard-drive, reinstall everything fresh with Genuine Microsoft softwares that Microsoft will check online, and clone your HD for backup when you have a chance so that you don't have to reinstall everything again from A to Z. That'll take you time, of course.
Microsoft will not check which version of Microsft Outlook you have online, but the ActiveSync from Microsoft will check which version you have offline.
I had the same problems with my MDA Vario.
My solution:
1. export all contacts to separate vcard files.
2. in outlook click Help -> detect and repair
3. scanned my outlook pst file with c:\Program Files\Common Files\System\Mapi\1033\scanpst.exe
4. deleted all notes from my vcards
5. reinserted my vcards in my contacts in Outlook.
(6. i added my contacts notes as Notes in outlook)
now all synchronisation goes well: appointments, notes and contacts
Happens after new firmware
I have some contacts and appointments on my MDA Pro. They also synched well (MDA Pro ->PC). However, after I put the new T-Mobile firmware on my MDA Pro, "normal" contacts synchronize just fine, but those with photos or contacts do not. I suspect a bug in ActiveSync, but there is also nothing in the MS Knowledgebase about that :-/
I had this problem, and my solution was to erase pocket and format computer, but now, there is no problem.
I know that there is certainly a better solution, but I have not !
I can only say that it is a problem from the computer, because at work, it had ever well synchronised...
M.B.
Hi All,
Please excuse this question, complete novice here.
I run Gmail & have integrated it using POP with my PC Outlook 2002. This works fine & allows syncronisation with my XDA EXEC.
However, If I send an email from my EXEC I need to Sync with my PC.
Is there a way that I can also pick up my gmail from the exec when away from my pc.
I have tried, but end up with a second account setup on the exec.
If I go this way I will end up with duplicate copies of all emails, from both the exec - gmail & outlook gmail.
Any Help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Sean
Unfortunately, that is the only way to go about it. The only consolation is that you can set up to download headers only and then d/load the full versions of important messages while away from the PC. I have duplicate settings for the past week of mails and headers set to 5KB each w/out Attachments
On my old phone (Nokia) i could sync my contacts into Windows address book on my laptop. Now I've got the Vario2 and vista on my laptop the sync will only let me download my contacts into microsoft outlook- which I don't have and do not want to pay loads more money. How do i back my contacts up or get outlook free
I recently found a program called "PIM Backup". It allows you to back the data up to a file which you can then copy off.
Try looking here or off a similar thread for the download link -

Hi.
Have a similar problem
Using Outlook Express for Email and instead of MS Office / Outlook we use Open Office [its free ]
Found a link to connect O.E. YET to try it, but it is ...
http://www.reunion.com/site-root/download_reunionforoutlook.jsp
Also if you know of a calendar plugin for O.E., please post it
i use Jeyo Mobile Companion, brilliant for backing up contacts, sending SMS via pc.
Its different to some others in the fact that you compile the sms as you would an email but it sends it via the phone, so no internet connection needed.
Its brill at work, save "un-cradling" then reply/send sms then cradle, its all done with a swift alt-tab. heh
Alternative to ActiveSync
I haven't (yet) tried it but there is a project called FinchSync (http://www.finchsync.com) which claims: "FinchSync is a tool for synchronizing contacts, appointments and tasks from Mozilla email and calendar products with a Pocket PC or SmartPhone."
If anyone has any hands on experience with this program I for one would be interested to hear about it...?
you could set up a mail2web account which is push email and has a outlook style web based interface allowing you to sync everything contacts,calendar and tasks Did i mention its FREE. www.mail2web.com

You're using Vista? The WMDC will let you Sync your phone with your Vista Contacts - no problem - infact you should now also be able to Sync your mail with Windows Mail and if memory serves your calendar with Windows calander - all things that with XP you had to have Outlook to do!
EDIT
Sorry - seem to have spoken to soon. The beta version of WMDC allowed for Syncing with those programs - I always use Outlook so I haven't even really looked at those settings since - it appears that it was something they supported in the Beta and dropped from the final edition which is quite unfortunate! (probably just trying to sell more copies of outlook). A free work around might be to use Microsoft Live Mail e-mail client (Not Windows Mail) and then install the windows live messenger and set it up to sync your contact details with Live Messenger and then the Live Mail client should then have a synced version of your contacts - just another idea - sorry bout that!
Is there a way to synch ONLY the 'sent items' folder via ActiveSync or do you have to also keep copies of the various messages from Outlook also on your phone?
Bump. Anyone?
connect phone to pc, on pc open windows mobile device center, click mobile device settings - change content sync settings - email sync settings - untick the folders you dont want and tick those you do (sent items in this case)
Sorry, I think I didn't express that well. I want to synchronize only the sent items from my phone to Outlook on the desktop so that I can preserve any replies I send from the road while having the original message downloaded to my desktop when I return home. The settings you describe will only synch MS Outlook items with the 'Outlook' folder on my PC, and the accounts I set up on my phone do not appear in the folder tree to be selected. So that configuration won't work for me.
It seems that no combination of what I want is possible with the current software, yet I can't believe I'm the only one with this need.
Let me explain.
I use Outlook on my desktop and only use the phone for reading and replying to messages on-the-fly. Knowing that I will have a copy of the POP message on my laptop (which serves as my home pc also) when I get back at night, I only want to file and keep a copy of any replies I make from the road. My hope was to have any sent items uploaded to my laptop, I can run rules on MS Outlook to autofile to their respective folder structures, and I'm done - both received POP messages and their corresponding replies are preserved.
I own a copy of FlexMail, but it won't synch with Outlook, so that's not a solution. And there doesn't seem to be anything else out there that'll do what I need.
Any thoughts?
Bump. Anyone?
Guys, just to reiterate the question...
How would you get (move/copy/backup) messages from the local email accounts you set up on your HD2, to your Outlook PST on the desktop?
