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.

Outlook, Hotmail, and Activesync Help

I'm using Outlook 7 and have installed outlook connector so that I could read/send emails from my hotmail account in Outlook. I wanted to use it as the my email in my HD but I'm having problem getting it to sync with Activesync 4.5.
After I add the hotmail account, the activesync does not work. I keep on getting cannot connect and try again later message. It sync ok when I delete the hotmail account.
Is there anyway that I could set up hotmail account in outlook and sync it to my HD?
Thanks for the help.

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] cannot sync calendar with exchange

Created a corporate exchange account to sync with my work account. While the contacts and email sync over successfully, no calendar entries were synced over. Anyone knows why?

hmm... intersting, i've yet to try to sync it to an Exchange server.
but my stuff on Google Calendar syncs perfectly fine.
because Gmails server = my Exchange server
too lazy to install MS Exchange just to test this out.
but as far as i recall... Exchange doesn't really have a calendar service, the calendar invites and alerts are from Outlook
if you use Exhange without Outlook, it's just a plain mail server, no calendar no memopad

But that works on my wife's iphone 3gs. Her phone is able to sync the calendar entries directly from exchange

have you tried the TouchDown App?
that should do the trick
supposedly Froyo will come with better Exhange support out of the box

Exchange sync problem on ICS

I had a problem to sync my Hotmail contacts & calendar via exchange and found a solution. I use Moxier Mail (Exchange) to sync instead of the stock app.
