Many of our clients ask us to sync their outlook and contacts with their iPad or iphone that is linked to POP email account, but all the data is in Outlook. And its been a nightmare to deal with. Can't use latest iTunes, have to use older iTunes.
With android its so much easier, simpler and it works.
I'm not bashing Apple products, I think they are good in their own way, but could be a heck of alot better.
I keep telling clients to stop using outlook and just store all the contacts and calendars in your email accounts. Yet they want all 2 or 5 pop email accounts linked to Outlook. They tell me its just easier that way to access all emails.
One of our new clients uses 4 different email providers for her home business, and all of them linked to Outlook on her PC. All contacts and calendars are stored on her pc in outlook.
After two hours of banging my head against the wall, I honestly could not sync it with her iPad and crack berry. I did get 709 contacts in to crack berry from outlook, but then client tells that contacts that were added few days ago are not there. /face palm.
Another client is having issues with yahoo email on iPhone 5, because os6.1 is...broken. Keeps throwing errors at me.
Anyways... I needed to vent, its been a long week.
I have been wondering how this works. We are able to sync our contacts and calendars to gmail and import to outlook easily. How do you do that with an apple iPhone?

Well, using a google Accout even on android it won't sync contacts. It still uses your google account (non pop) to sync contacts. At least that's how it works if I delete my google account and only add back a gmail account as a pop email account.
At work we use contacts sync pro and calendar sync both of which I think have been discontinued by google.
We can add contacts in outlook and we sync it to gmail and it shows up in our phone contacts using a yahoo pop bizmail account. Its really nice and easy. I was wondering if this was even possible on apple without using an exchange.

Well, my work uses an exchange server for my iPhone email, so I have my outlook and iPhone sync'd using that. Then I use gSyncIT from Fieldston to sync my outlook to Google so then my Android tablet and personal PC's keep their contacts and calendars in sync.
My wife on the other hand does not have the ability to sync her iPhone to her exchange server, so her outlook is exchange and then uses gSyncIT to sync her outlook to Google. Then added the Google Exchange server on her iPad an iPhone to keep it all in sync.

Hi I am looking into alternate email apps. I use exchange server 2007 and would like to ability to search all mail for my account on the server not just those downloaded to the handset).
I believe Active sync on WinMob does this already.
Also is there an app or a way to change the existing app to store all mail on the SD Card so I can sync my entire mailbox (sent items, sub folders etc.) and not just the inbox?
I can recommend you Touchdown for Exchange from Nitrodesk. In my opinion there isn't a better soft for using Exchange on Android.

Have you got this running on the Desire ? Can't find it on the market, only the license.
Activesync or Outlook 200-
Hi all
I'm trying this app as Iwanted to be able to access folders. Whats the best to use Activesync or exchange 2003 ?
Many thanks
Yes, it works on Desire. Paying for licence is also needed, but worth of it.
Search for "Nitrodesk" on Market and you will surely find it.
Goodluck, Michael

Also take a look at RoadSync from Datawiz. The best looking app, with the best integration.
If you're using Exchange, what exactly is the problem with the default Mail app? It syncs to Exchange, and syncs contacts, mail, and calendar.

Apparently it depending on your MS Exchange version.
We have 2003 and the default doesn't let you search the GAL. Also no ability to remotely wipe the device. I also had strange issues with sending mail either failing or being sent multiple times.
I think Nitrodesk is butt ugly.
Try MoxierMail
Looks like the default mail app so fits the theme of the phone, the widget is VERY pretty.
And unlike the default mail app like someone asked, you can sync tasks!

I have a 2007 exchange server and use Push. When using the default mail app, mail disappears from the Desire, it's still on the server and shows up in Outlook. I've lost 100's of mails at a time. It happens when a sync is in progress and you move from one data connection to another i.e. GPRS to 3G or to Wi-Fi or back again.
I've been using touchdown for about 10 days, and it's working much better - no missing mail but read and deleted mails aren't always updated, but that's better than them disappearing.
Thanks for theheads up on Moxier.. not heard of that one.
Q. which of these, TouchDown, Moxie, RoadSync handles Subfolders the best. ie i want to be notified if any email goes to any folder and not just the INBOX. ideally id like to quickly see UNREAD emails in one place (regardless of which folders they reside).
At the moment the default HTC client doesnt sync subfolders until you go into each one

I was getting annoyed by exactly the same thing! I had set up filters and labels on my Gmail account, but on my Desire I would only get notifications for mails arriving in my inbox.
I installed Touchdown the other day, and after a bit of fiddling with the settings have found that it does exactly what I/we want! It will alert at any mails that arrive (you select which folders to sync in the settings and it checks them all at) and you can set it to view all mails, regardless of the folders.
Would definitely recommend so far!
How can I get my Hotmail calendar to sync with my shift? I use the Exchange ActiveSync account on my phone for my work email, but as a family we use Hotmail for our calendar. Any suggestions?
Not sure. If you search Microsofts site, it appears no direct syncing is supported. A workaround would be to link the calendar to your Google account so you can at least view it on your phone. Perhaps wait til WP7 hits Sprint?
Or move the family to Google. O_O

Tried exporting Hotmail calendar, but could not. Thus I could not import into Google calendar. Wife is not a fan of Google, so not so easy
I've never used exchange, but this says hotmail started using that and it will sync calendar/contacts/email... dunno if it is true, but worth a shot.

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.

i am running cm9 beta and synced my contacts up with outlook using myphone explorer. unfortunately, it synced them in triplets and now have thousands of the same contacts. does anyone know how to delete contacts without having to do each single contact??????
Delete the sync'd account. Or do a factory data reset. Either way you'd have to re-add contacts so they aren't multiplied.

Oh wow. Sorry to hear that man, sounds like you have a big mess. Check your contacts on your desktop's gmail. If it isn't in triplets, make a backup, delete outlook acc on phone, clear contacts, and let your list populate.
If it's in triplets on your gmail contacts already, simply selecting delete/merge duplicates should rid most of it, also it's easier to manage on desktop gmail contacts with the handy checkboxes. When all is tidy, backup the csv, and let your phone sync to your tidy cleaned contacts list.

If the contacts are saved to the Exchange server, and not locally, you should see them after you set up an Exchange account in Android. If your contacts are saved in Outlook locally, then only that computer stores them and they won't sync.
Since this is a corporate Exchange server, you can get your IT guy to set it up for you. It isn't difficult, and that's why he gets paid.

I haven't used them in years, but there are services that will sync your Outlook contacts with your Google address book.
I have been using Outlook for years, but since I am using multiple devices now (PC, Nexus 7, Nexus 4) it would be nice if they always spoke to one another. Ideally, I would like something where if I add an event to either Outlook or a Calendar on any of the Nexus devices, it would all sync with one another.
Any recommendations on:
1. A Calendar for the Nexus? Stick with Googles Calendar?
2. Some method to auto sync.
Thanks,
Jon
I use Google Calendar Sync. You install it on your PC and it syncs Outlook both ways with Google Calendar.

I agree. Google Calendar Sync is a perfect solution for you. And it is software that is made by Google themselves, so there's no fear if malware.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
All synced now thanks. It was surprisingly easy.
Do you think the default Calendar app on the Nexus 7 is the best one?
Be careful with Google calendar Sync.
If you use 2-way synchronization you might suddenly realize that random events disappear from your Outlook calendar. Or maybe you delete an event in Outlook and Google Calendar starts pestering with cancellation notices all meeting attendees (only way to stop it: delete all events in my Google Calendar).
Last but not least, it only syncs events with the message class IPM.Appointment. If you are using tools like WebEx or Live Meeting, these events will not be synchronized.
I used Google Calendar Sync for several months but in the end I had to give up and accept that it does not work as expected (and hoped). By the way, I am talking about the latest version. My experience with this tool is very recent.
I've been syncing Outlook contacts, calendar and e-mail with my Androids for 2 years. First on my Galaxy Captivate, now on my Galaxy SII and Nexus 7. I use the method described here.

I used to use Google Sync... and there are issues with losing some appointment, but once you get used to the system they are easy enough to avoid.
However... I have been using the method mentioned by Miami Sun for the past few months and I think it works better. A bit harder to set up, but once you do it's practically foolproof.
Another option is to buy something like Touchdown, but it's kind of ugly and expensive overkill for many people.
Yeah touchdown is overpriced. The Google cal sync is pretty reliable. Haven't noticed appointments disappearing but sometimes when pushing for events put in galaxy Sii or N7 outlook has to be double punched on getting new messages. "Event error." But pushing a 2nd time right after clears it up.

You can Wipe all contacts on your Nexus, you can sync one way ( Outlook to Android or Android to Outlook ) or both ways,
You can also sync via their Cloud , etc.
It costs 40$ but it is really worth it.
