Hi,
I wan't to sync more than just one contact folder with my outlook through activesync.
In my outlook I have contacts and 2 more contact folders.
one Is the same level as contacts and the other is it's subfolder.
neither one seems to sync with android excepts original contacts.
when I go to contacts -> menu -> display options -> my outlook account I can only check all contacts to sync.
and under my google account I can check any contacts folder I have on gmail.
I use Froyobread v017 and build-in mail application.
Mail and original contacts folder sync ok.
I couldn't find any settings to enable syncing of other folders in my phone, neither any solution on xda or google.
So any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
Try "My Phone Explorer". I use this for syncing my Outlook-Contacts, but I don't know if it supports multiple folders, cause i only have one. But you could give it a shot.
Just google for it. You can find a client in the market.
Thank you, but I'm not trying to sync with my comp but directly with my company's exchange server.

Hello!
I have Exchange and a personal gmail account configured in Outlook and when I try to sync my contacts (personal folder), it syncs the exchange one's instead.
How can it be possible?
I have a lot of contacts on personal folder and a few on exchange and it simply syncs the few ones. Indeed, can I make a rule not to have repeated contacts on PPC? Since some of exchange contacts are on personal and Vice versa....
Please help!
Best regards,
Deiota
EDITED:
I've managed to sync my personal contacts, but what I wanted to do is:
Exchange: contacts, calendar, tasks and email
Personal: contacts, calendar and tasks (not repeat contacts, if possible)
Can I do It?
When I go to options on WMDC (using Vista), It only allows me to choose one source, and on ASync (PPC), it also alows me just the same....
Ok so i have my touch synced to my hotmail account and on my laptop i have the outlook plugin to sync my hotmail account.
i have a copy of my contacts on my outlook for back up so when my phone sync i get double contacts from syncing to the hotmail account and when i plug my phone to the laptop to sync.
is there anything i can do so i wont have to keep deleting double contacts? every time it sync's to either one.
Disable "Sync Contacts" on your device.
when i do start / programs and go under activesync when i click on menu / options then uncheck contacts it give me
to proceed activesync must remove all contacts synchronized to our device, i dont want to remove them from my device.
is there another way?
You should select Options - Settings - and under "If there is a conflict", select the corresponding options to resolve your issue.

You first need to enable the contacts sync. -≥ Go to Settings - Data Synchronization - Google and put a checkmark on Contacts.
On your phone, if you go to contacts, you see on the right side of the contact's name the word phone(this means the contact is a phone contact) You have three types of contacts - phone, google and sim contacts. All of your contacts need to be google contacts, if you want to sync them with google. You can probably manually convert every single phone contact to google contact, but that would take a lot of time.
So to speed up things, you need to do this:
You need to transfer all your contacts to your computer, Outlook or such. Then delete all your contacts from the phone. From outlook you need to export all contacts to the .csv or .vcard file. Then go to Gmail and import all your contacts from .csv file. Connect your tattoo to the internet and again go to settings - data synchronization - Google, press menu and choose Sync now. It will then transfer all your contacts from gmail to your phone. Then all your contacts will become google contacts and you will be able to sync them with Gmail.
In the future, when you create a new contact on your phone, be sure to select google as type of the contact to be able to sync it with gmail.
But be very careful with this, make a backup of all your contacts before you do this.

My contact have letters: š, ć,.. and few more letters that show ? ? instead of š, ć when i'm export contacts from outlook.. I's there any other way to convert phone to google contacts? TY
I did a bit of research on this and there seems to be no other way to convert contacts from phone to google...i found this answer from htc on one of the forums:
HTC >>There is no default setting to always store a contact as google.
If you wish create a contact save it as google and create another one, if its set to google already then it does remember if not then you'll have to do this manually.
Unfortunately it is not possible to convert all contacts to google ones, it can only be done by re-adding each individual contact.

In phone or SIM?
Just make sure you enable the sync in Settings as noted above and enable background data; every contact should be then synced between server and phone (but I'm not sure about SIM contacts, probably not) when you go online with your phone.
Many of my contacts even have Serbian Cyrillic letters (абвгдђежзијклљ...) and everything works just fine, no matter if they were created in Google Contacts online (www.google.com/contacts) or in my phone.
However, I haven't try sync between phone and Outlook because I use Ubuntu and Google Contacts only
Dejan i have tried this...i created a phone contact and tried to sync it with google and it doesn't work for me....the contact needs to be a google contact. But for the ščćžđ letters, yes gmail supports them in contact names, sorry for misleading you.
I solve problem.
With program expcontacts export all people to sdcard in csv format.
Delete all contacts from phone.
Import csv file from sdcard to gmail contacts.
Sync contacts with gmail.
Great workaround Liderzre, skipping the whole outlook thing, for the people who don't use windows and outlook or for the people who don't want outlook to mess up letters čćžšđ in their contact names
Thanks for the great app. All in order now, but not syncing...oh well on to remedy another problem.

Hi, I have used standard Outlook contacts synchronization through Windows Mobile Device Center on my WM 6.5. However, as this is not working with WP7 and I don't have activated version of WP in order to synchronize through live, is there any other way to get my contacts into WP7? Thanks a lot.
Hi,
For contacts and calendar sync I use hotmail account.
First I installed small app called Connector. After Outlook restart you will be prompted to configure Hotmail account. After it is finished you will see in Outlook new tree with your hotmail. When you add there contacts and calendar tasks they will be synchronized with hotmail.
On WP7 device you have to configure Hotmail Exchange server with the following way:
Server / URL: m.hotmail.com
User name: Enter full email address, for example: [email protected]
Domain: Leave this blank
SSL: Enable this
Mail, Contacts, Calendar: All can be enabled
For me it works!
Yes. Export from Outlook to a CSV file. Then import CSV in Gmail. Sync your phone with Gmail and you are done It's funny how good MS supports Google services. Even your Google calendar will sync fully
I've used Google Sync App to sync MS Outlook with Google (both Contacts and Calendar) and after that I've imported Calendar and Contacts by setting Google account on WP.
Does anyone know how to get my contacts out of HD2? I suppose there will be more WP7-ROMs coming and I don't want to synchronize again with GMail and delete all the contacts I'm not interested in at all - a simple tool for backup would be enough for me, thanks in advance (and if not simple tool, please just tell me what's the easiest way to achieve my goal).
Hi All,
Both my Nokia 6s' have stopped copying / syncing Contacts from Outlook for Android into the phones Android Contacts App.
Up until a week ago all my Contacts in Outlook were also found / sync'd in Android Contacts but some reason this abruptly stopped. I can see all my Contacts in the Outlook App, but I also see that the Outlook account is not found in Android Contacts and it does not let me add a new (Outlook) account. Also, the "Sync Contacts" slider in Outlook for Android is missing.
I have tried Reset Account, Delete Account, uninstall / re-install App etc. in Outlook (on both devices) but without any luck.
It is strange that this is happening on both devices. Is anyone else having the same issue?
I've never been able to get the Outlook App contacts to sync with Android contacts. However, the way I got around to do fixing this was to add another account to the stock GMAIL app on the phone with the Exchange credentials. For whatever reason, then I can get two-way syncing of contacts between my phone and Outlook. If there is a better way to do this, please post here!
Thanks
I also sync Outlook contacts by addimg my adding an Exchange Account via Settings-Accounts options, then manually configuring it.
