I've tried everything, and there is no current way to sync WinMo's calendar with Yahoo's calendar (the new .ICS compatible beta).
I use Yahoo for my email, calendar, and notes and there is a shocking lack of integration with the WinMo ecosystem.
Is anyone up for the challenge to create an OTA sync tool between WinMo outlook calendar and yahoo's new calendar?
Contacts would be a great sync as well, but I'm just going to ask for one thing at a time!
Note: I've tried EVERYTHING available, and nothing works. Not Yahoo Sync w/Outlook, not Get Yahoo WinMo app, not Yahoo Go 2.0, etc....
Thanks!

I know my advice sucks...
But...
Try google calendar. You can even get free sync with active sync. I though, prefer nuevasync.com to sync my calendar.
It works amazing. I use it everyday.
I forgot to mention that, in an effort to sync my online with my mobile world, I made a huge attempt to move my web services to Google. Unfortunately, my experiment failed. I just could not get adjusted to Google Mail vs. Yahoo Mail. So, I went back to Yahoo after an earnest experiment.
Because of the great integration between Yahoo Mail & Calendar, I really can't move over to Google Calendar. I've even already asked Nuevasync to add Yahoo to their sync services!
Like I said... I've tried EVERYTHING, which is why I've requested new development. I'm thinking I cannot be the only "Yahoo with WinMo!"

Well... If yahoo cal supports and ics version to import to other calendars, you can add that to the calendar list on your google cal. And then use nuevasync to sync. But that would be one-way sync, so you couldn't make new appointments from your phone. But seriously. Try gmail, and gcal again. Then your problems would be over. They work amazing with activesync. And your only alternative is to wait until an new unstable beta service would arrive to yahoo, which might take som time.
Hi sblop,
I didn't want to overload my post, but when I said I tried EVERYTHING, I meant it! I tried adding Yahoo's ICS cal to Google cal, but the events come up as generic... no event details show up on Google Cal. So, that approach didn't work either.
While I'm at it, I also tried to add my Yahoo cal to my Live Calendar as well - no go.
You could therefore say that Yahoo's ICS is buggy. I don't know. I just know that I have been unsuccessful in linking it to other online calendars to-date.
Thanks,
Jon

Sorry.
Then I cant help you.
But good luck.
OK, I was wrong! I just checked my Google Cal with the Yahoo ICS connection, and some details are showing up. Others are "locked" and therefore show no details. This must be a setting Yahoo is automatically applying, so I need to manage that on the Yahoo side.
Presuming this connection continues to work, which is the best calendar sync for Google Cal? Nuevasync? Google ActiveSync?
Any info appreciated!
Thanks,
Jon

If you use google activesync service, your only able to sync one calendar at a time, which is quite annoying if you make one for work, and one for private matters etc. - I use nuevasync, and just selects which calendars I want to sync, and then it works. So I suddest nueva.
Update.... and bad news! The ICS-linked Yahoo calendar on Google Calendar shows up fine on the Google Cal screen, but it does not seem to include it in the sync process! So, the "linking" is display-only, not imported so that the Google ActiveSync can sync those ICS events!
Grrr.....
Update on the update.... Nuevasync does allow me to sync my ICS-linked calendar in Google Calendar. So, it looks like I kinda/sorta have what I'm looking for. Not as good as direct Yahoo sync (no contacts, for instance), but it's better than nothing.
Thanks for the great band-aid!
Jon
should look into seven beta will let you sync contacts email and calendar not sure about notes but it could be possible

Any word on an app to do OTA synching with Yahoo Calendar to WinMo?
As you know, Google don't have to/must not know everything, especially calendar entries of buisyness man.
I don't want google to know my appointments a.s.o.!
Is it possible to use the google calendar on the phone without synchronizing with the Google server but sync with the personal outlook?
Perhaps there is a independent calendar app, don't need to access the htc or google calendar, but is able to sync with outlook... AND is able to set appointments as private?
Perhaps it is possible to have my own "google server" for me and my family at home?
There's absolutely no need for synchronizing with google, you can always uncheck it if you don't want it and only synchronize with Outlook.
And there's also no need to even use the built-in calendar application, there are others in the market.
You just have to have a Google account, but that doesn't mean you have to give google your appointment details.
I don't know if there's an application where you can set your appointments as private, at least for Exchange server it is not possible, unfortunately.
I've not found a stand alone calendar application in the market with their own database. If you know one please tell me.
All calendars i found use the build-in google or htc calendarDatabase.
Yes, that's possible, I may be wrong. But still, with the built-in calendar you don't have to sync with your google calendar. If you just sync with Outlook, even though you'll see your appointments in the Google calendar app, they won't be synchronized with your Google account.
I use the HTC calendar app and sync it to my PC's outlook calendar and HTCSync. Same with my contacts. Don't go anywhere near Google for any of that
Yes, the htc calendar is a stand-alone app. But if you use your business calendar for privat, too, you need the possibility to set appointments as privat. And the htc calendar isn't capable of that.
Hi all.
With the hopeful impending arrival of my DHD, I am keen to know the best way to migrate my contacts, calendar etc to Froyo.
I know I can sync my activesync to sync with Google, but is that the best way?
I want to maintain as much as I can if possible....
oggsync does fairly good to sync contacts and calendar, but some features missing unless you use the paid version.
another alternative (free as long as you have Outlook in your PC):
activesync to desktop outlook -> export to csv from desktop outlook -> use Import feature in the gmail website -> let the data sync from google account to handset.
grateful if somebody could give an advice re tasks. the Task feature of gmail doesn't support recurrent task, and hence absolutely not my choice. Astrid looks good enough on Android, but seems i must manually re-enter all outstanding tasks.
The best way is
On WM6.x use Exchange Server from Google using the google account that you are going to use on Android, and then in Android use that google email account and everything will transfer to android. Simple as that...
thanks for your advice.
you mean this Google Sync service?

EDIT: trying it now. it's handy. thanks!
What I did, was export all my contacts and appointments, and then imported them into my Gmail account. Then synced when I was within Android on my HD2.
Works very well.
cool thread this
i have my contacts backed up on WMDC, but my phone is now dead is there any way to get them from WMDC or microsoft outlook to the DHD
I hope this might help

Google Apps Migration
I found this google-app very usefull:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/exchangemigration
I think it does not sync the Notes and Tasks
i download it and i will give it a try
I just got an HD2 and got Android running onto it without any issue. I am planning to switch over from an iPhone. I have one issue. I am a users that heavily uses Outlook on a daily basis to manage my Contacts and Calendar. Also, I use iTunes for my music.
I did some research on finding ways to sync iTunes and outlook with Android but I couldn't find any satisfying solution.
I was hoping you guys would be able to share how you guys sync Outlook's contact and calendars onto Android.
I know there are few methods out there where I can sync my Outlook with Gmail using Google Sync app, and then sync my Android with Gmail. Isn't there a more simpler method to achieve this?
This is not a solution to your problem, its just what I did to solve all this import/synch from outlook contacts / calendar which is a very frustrating task. I stoped using outlook! I imported all contacts and calendar entries to gmail - gmail calendar and now everytime I run a new android build all these get synchronized automatically. I just input gmail username and pass. It takes only a minute.
Hope this helps

Obviously it's not an option and I never understood why people still complain about a full blown Outlook solution.
I'm in the same situation as you and I solved with a couple of little programs.
Google Contacts Outlook Synchronizer and Google Calendar Sync. You only have to set things once, then everything works on the fly.
As for your music, winamp has just released a beta version which can sync music via wifi or usb. You do need a beta desktop version as well, found here

I ran into Google App Sync, https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gappssync, but it seems that I have to pay for it. Isn't there something similar to this which is free?
I am trying to connect my entire family to (1) calendar. I would like to be able to have all members of family either use Outlook or their Smart phone and update (1) calendar. Any suggestions of which way would be best.
Thanks

I have a separate google calendar for family events. As to the how...each OS is different. Google has instructions for each OS and mail client it supports.
The app calengoo allows you to connect multiple Google calenders. Works great and there's an iphone app too if you have a divided family.

+1 on the Google calendar, couldn't be easier to use, once u share the calendar, and they accept it, it just shows up on the phone.
We moved to Google calendar for our team calendar at work and it is great
