Activesync - Mail Push with multiple servers?

Hi guys
I'm wondering whether it is somehow possible to override the limitation of Activesync in WM and sync mails with more than 1 server?
I use mail-push for corporate mails, but would like of course to sync also my private mail2web - account.
what's the latest on this? sorry to revive such an old topic.
As far as I know, you'd have to use an alternative client to sync with multiple servers/
What if I want my handheld to sync to one exchange server just for email and another for contacts, calendar, and tasks?
At this time ActiveSync only supports 1 server.
mail from one exchange server, calendar/contacts from another...

Thought I would share it as i've been trying to figure out how sync my corporate email & calendar via one activesync server (company) and google contacts via another (the google server). So now I have both personal email (gmail IMAP) and work email (Exchange) and my personal contacts imported into the native contacts list.
Hope someone else finds this useful.
BTW, I also set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\EnableNonLocalCrossPollination to "1" instead of "0".
And now???
No news about multiple accounts setup?
As gmail is now provideing push access this becomes more than frustrating to be limited to one push server!!!!!!
You're too lazy MS!
Activesync does support multiple servers if you are not syncing the same items with both.
For example:
I sync my calendar and contacts with google sync and sync just my email with the company I work for.
You just have to go into the pocket outlook and create a new account as if you were creating a pop3 or imap account and then select Exchange Server. You however can NOT sync contacts or email or anything with both.

Multiple Exchange servers???

Is it possile to setup multiple exchange servers on the touch HD.
Or does one have to be exchange and the other IMAP
Maybe this would help:

Not directly.
I have 2 Exchange Servers, one in the company, and a private server.
The company Exchange Server is used with Server Activesync, and the other I have configured with IMAP.
Enable the crosspollination allows you to sync then Calendar, Contacts via USB/BT at home, too.
So you have the same data across company server, private server and the device.
You can only have one Exchange sync profile running on the device. The other accounts would have to be brought in by Imap - then obviously you're just syncing email, not calendar, contacts etc.
mail from one exchange server, calendar/contacts from another...

You cannot connect 2 Exchange (Gmail also acting as Exchanger Server) server from Windows Mobile via Activesync, but you can setup Gmail as IMAP then you can connect to your Work Exchange Server. But Contact & Calendar information only sync with your Work Exchange.
I disagree, you can have 2 exchange servers with a registry tweak. However as specified above you cannot sync two email accounts, but you can sync contacts, calendars and tasks.
If i am honest its not an idea solution, but it does work. It sounds like the solution above works the same but has the benefit of better sense integration. At the moment i have my work exchange server linked in sense and active sync for contacts, calendar and email. My gmail is linked in two places, the first one activesync which covers the calendar and contacts, but i also link the email via imap via sense. This works well too but its a little awkward trying to edit email settings.

[Q] Outlook Contacts

Has anyone synced their tablet with outlook using acer sync. I'm try to sync my contact list but i get an error everytime. Is there a better solution than using sending them to my Google mail account. Hoping to get my contact pictures.
You don't need the acer sync. Just go to settings-accounts-click on your hotmail account and tick the sync contacts option.
Outlook by default will sync with hotmail every 20 min or the next time you open outlook.

[Q] synch with outlook calender

Hi Just got my first tablet. Can anybody tell me if you can synch my outlook calender with my nexus 7 calender, don't want to synch it via google calender, wondered if it can be done with out synching to google first or if there is an app i can use. thanks
There are add-on for Chrome to google sync for your computer browser. I know Chrome has them for sure...
You can go to the email app and log in with your email account you use with outlook.
Then android should sync your account as a outlook account and also your calendar schould be synced
I have set up nexus 7's email app to synch with my outlook email, but no where in email settings on nexus does it elude to synching calendar, anybody help. Thanks
This is how we do it on the phone. I just got my N7 yesterday and while contacts and e-mail have synced fine using this method, my calendar has not yet synced.

Is this a local calendar? Like you just use Outlook as a POP client, or do you log into an Exchange server. If Exchange, the default mail app on the N7 supports Activesync and you can set it up for your mail server.
If it's just a local account then you would probably need to sync it through Gmail or find an app for the tablet and a program for the computer that allows you to sync when. You plug it in or provide an OTA sync when your PC is on. This might work for you.

OK, I got my Outlook calendar syncing now. For some reason I had to create a the Exchange account from within the calendar app on the N7 for it to work. Same account as I already created in Settings. Thankfully, it doesn't show as 2 separate accounts. If you setup your Outlook to sync as in the thread I posted earlier it will work fine. You don't need to have a Hotmail account, either.
Have managed to synch my outlook emails, but only the inbox, won't snych sub folders in outlook inbox.
Looks like i will have to find a program and app, as its a local account i want to synch, don't want to bother with exchange server
Have also tried to import my contacts from outlook to the stock nexus 7 people app, but outlook will only export as a .csv file and nexus people will only import as a vcard file, any ideas.
Try my phone explorer from the Google play store and install the pc version on your pc. Syncs contacts, calendar & tasks using USB, WiFi or Bluetooth directly with the Outlook data on your pc. Check the installation screenshot for details:

Thanks will have a look at it. Do you know if it synchs with the stock nexus 7 calendar or does it add its own calendar to tablet and synch that with outlook.
