Have you tried setting gmail up as an activesync account?
Server: m.google.com
User: your email address
Password: your gmail password
Domain: leave blank
Then you should be able to sync them in

I believe that's the only way people r using their contacts in LEOs (or hotmail sync) ...Ive been using it that way since it's first day on my hd2 but i would like to copy contacts to phone cause when u disable gmail sync it also deletes all ur contact then u need to resync everything again ...

Well, import the contacts on PC to your Live ID. There is an online tool for that in Live altough syncing with google is better, because it syncs even contact pictures and has less corrupted information. You probably cant have contacts without the cloud link.

Ummm have you tried just setting up a gmail account on the phone??
Sync'd my contacts just fine, I do not use any contacts from my live account only from gmail ...

no phone numbers present when sync from google
does anybody has solution

help please - I need to recover deleted contacts

I formated my PC and all contacts are gone. when I plugged in my wizard I I was so stupid and checked the option to sync contacts without setting the options(by default its set to make changes on the pocket PC). So, all my contacts are gone.
Is there any way to restore them ?
I have WM6 underground.
thank you
wow... that was really dumb.
(i did that too before)
if you were using wm6... wm6 uses windows live messenger. if you were using windows live messenger it syncs contacts to their server. if your contacts were synced they should be somewhere in your msn contacts. log in to hotmail and look at your contact list and see if they are still there.
if they are DON'T SYNC IT
it will erase the ones on msn if you do. but at least you still have them.

yeah that happened to me. but fortunately i sync everything with everything so it was somewhere i just had to look. if you've ever used yahoo go! then it synced with yahoo and everything is in yahoo. if you use thunderbird it is synced with thunderbird. just check everything you use that has an address book.
good luck
Thank you very much hiimcliff for all advices,
I know that I have a full backup in some cd from previous blueangel...but question how to retreive contacts ... :S

Hi hbushi,
It will depend on the way they are stored on your backup cd. If you have the pim.vol, then there is hope...

Hotmail in Touch2

Well.. I want my Touch2 to have my hotmail synced with it. Whenever i try to they just bring me to opera and ask to use www.mobile.live.com
I downloaded Outlook 2007 and sync my hotmail with outlook then i bring in a usb and use ActiveSync and once ive synced it. I look at my outlook section of the text and i see nothing..
Please teach me how to make it sync .. i want to have the 2unread messages thing on my email part of my TouchFlo.. it feels so good to know i've got emails
Please help me. Thanks
I've been trying and trying for past few hours
I tried this

and it does not seem to work..
Please please do help me out here.
Thanks in advance.
If you want your Hotmail mails in your WinMo to be synced with Outlook -
1. Make sure that Email check box is checked i.e. when you are syncing - Email is shown in the list of items to be synced.
2. In outlook, you will find two folders, Personal Folder and Hotmail. The Hotmail folder is NOT synced with Activesync. Simple drag all mails in the inbox from Hotmail Folder to Inbox of Personal folder. That should work.
Unless you have a GPRS connection the link you have described will not work.
Hope it helps

Load up the messenger application on your device, it should ask you to log in and if you want to sync your email...
But in all honestly, you're better off setting up a gmail account and using activesync on your device - it will give live mail, and sync contacts and calendar all the time automatically.
I've made a Gmail account. And i've synced my Hotmail with Gmail. It will take a few hours or days. Then i synced my Microsoft outlook 2007 on my laptop with Gmail. Connected the USB and successs!! I synced my Gmail with my phone.
But i dont understand why i cant send out or receive any email? I'm using my WiFi. Is it possible to Send/Receive while using WiFi instead of GPRS Internet cause thats very expensive ^^
But anyways, thanks it works. If only i could send/receive mails now.. Hopefully not by GPRS.

Depends how you've set up gmail...
you need to set up gmail as an exchange server, with the address m.google.com, and sync mail, contacts and calendar only. Then you get true push email, you don't need to conenct activesync to your pc at all, should all work over wifi.
What do you mean? How do i check that settings?

Go into activesync, then congigure server. Try and delete the server source you have, then create a new one.
Username iis your full gmail address, server is m.google.com, leave all security settings ticked.
hi, i had the same problem, i resolved it this way:
when you want to configure your hotmail account like any other email in your mobile,
i think the problem is that the Touch 2 (or WM6.5) has some mail-server account settings pre-configured, and the hotmail one is wrong. i managed to use hotmail both as IMAP and POP3 by just entering a wrong e-mail address (like [email protected]), then entering the right serer settings for pop3 or imap (found in hotmail's help by searching pop3 or imap), and finally, after finishing the configuration, just edited the e-mail settings and altered the email address with the right one (@hotmail.com).
now it's working perfectly, just like gmail or any other mail service.
hope this helps.

how to transfer contacts from winmo to android

am having trouble transferring my contacts from winmo to android can anybody tell me wats the easiest way to do this..
answer
When you syncronise your pc with window mobile using window mobile device centre on the window mobile device centre go to mobile device setting--more --change exchage server setting--on the server address type m.google.com--tick use encryption SSL then type your google user name and password on the domain type google.com.
Syncronise with google account.so all your contacts in window mobile contacts will be saved or uploaded in google account.
Then when you setup google account using same account syncronise in android device.(setting--accont syncronise)
Thats it ..jobe done my friend
Activesync to m.google.com with Google account, then in Android sync with google account in android settings.
create a gmail account and upload them to it from a pc, you can sync winmo with your pc's address book then upload them into your google account then when you get in android you can just log into the google account and it'll pull them down.
*or create an google active sync account in windows mobile*
hey on the domain it does not let me type in anything.. do u no wat i have to do
I use Google sync normally, BUT to get contacts from Winmo to Android, just use HTC Sync, and set it for outlook, Sync to pc with Winmo, than Android, and there u go
*note, no mistakenly sync "nothing" to your outlook with HTC sync, and than re sync "nothing" to winmo...lol
u can write it down on paper and then retype it in your android builded phone
dont try to thank me i know i m right
My phone explorer
http://www.fjsoft.at/en/downloads.php
works a treat to sync with outlook or whatever.
best way for me as said above sync with wimo center transfer to outlook and then via htc sync to android.
4 minutes include boot...

google: spritesoftware mobile migrate
i m not allowed to post any links yet
ok koo thanxs guys i got it but one more question is how do i get the contacts to transfer also with the picture or do i have to do it all over again
select all contacts on winmo phone and beam via Bluetooth to your Android device .Android will recognize them as .vcf business cards .select save all cards and you are done.
desire hd builds have option in phone setup of importing contacts from various mobiles like winmo and symbian etc and it works very well.
hope this helps
yea i got that rom on my phone
contact pics will be transferred too via Bluetooth
please press thanks if helpful.
I used sprite Migrate and it was good.
copy all your contacs to sim card(while in windows)boot android go to contacts and import from sim card.

[Q] I don't want my Win Live Messenger Contacts

Title pretty much explains!
With facebook and secondary email accounts, under settings you can disable them from importing contacts into WP7's contact area... but with the main Windows Live ID you use to activate the phone, there's no tick box to disable the importing of messenger contacts.
Now my phonebook has like 300 entries of people who don't even have phone numbers... help?! Please!
Yeah! I've got the solution for you, i run into this problem as soon as i got my activation code and got my hotmail account up and running, all you got to do is go to your mail account and delete all the contacts in the contacts page then re-sync your live account from your phone and *bam* unwanted contacts are gone!

Then all your contacts store in Hotmail are gone?
I have just posted this against another similar post, would it work?
I posted this elsewhere and didnt get any real work arounds.....
(I returned my OE WP7 and returned to HD2 on WM6.5).
However, just a thought.....
MyPhone is only for WM6.5 but using ActiveSync you can sync mail, contacts, calendar & tasks with Outlook. I read on the Microsoft forum that you can download Hotmail Contacts to Outlook, and export from Outlook to Hotmail.
If I were to return to WP7, which no doubt I will do:
Contacts:
I would Sync WM6.5 with Outlook, then upload them to the Hotmail account I would be using on WP7. I remember (and may stand corrected) that when you register the Hotmail account on the device, the Contacts are automatically downloaded.
WM6.5 using Windows Live allows you to download Hotmail contacts to my phone, so I guess they would also sync.
Doesnt cure my original issue that I wanted my Phone and Hotmail contacts seperate. I may have to create an additional Hotmail account for that?
Calendar:
On my version of Outlook, I can have two calendars showing - one for the PC which is synced to my phone and one which is my Hotmail. I havent found a way to automatically sync them, but its easy tp drag an appointment from say my PC calendar to Hotmail and therefor on to WP7.
Regarding texts, theres no way like MyPhopne, just copy what you can to your sim card I am afraid.
Does that sound like it might work?

[Q] how to sync with google?

Hi guys,
Like you know, now Google doesn't let WM6.5 ActiveSync to sync contacts, emails, etc.
So is there any way else to sync contacts with Google thru WM6.5?
Thanks!
is there anyway pls?
i really need to sync contacts with google, cus i use gmail a lot!
thanks!
From what I have read accounts which now use ActiveSync/MS Exchange syncing will still be able to sync. Only new accounts are not allowed.
For Gmail I think you can use IMAP. For calendar and contacts syncing I don't know of any solution.
Tutorial sync to google
Hi here is my Tutorial, I translate it from German to English so somethings can have another title :
1.) Open Active Sync
2.)Click on Menu ->Configure Server
3.)write under Serveradress: m.google.com
and Accept (SSL) and then click next.
4.)now under User name: "your GoogleMail account"
password : "your pw"
domain : let it blank.
If you want click on Save password. Now click next.
5.) Now Accept Contacts,
E-Mail and
Calendar
BUT NOT on "lesson or tasks"
If you only want to sync contacts then don't accept the other one.
And click on Finish.. and Sync...
Sry for my bad english .. I translate some words over Google Translate..
And I use Sony Ericsson Aspen so I can have some other ways as you and your smartphone.. but I thing its the same way.
omg. thank you very much. i guess that i use the wrong server address. now everything is ok.
