Hi Folks
I have for many years been using HTC devices running WM. Currently i'm using a an Orbit running a cooked rom of WM6.1.
When every I moved between the HTC phones I always use PPC PimBackup to backups the contacts/messages on one phone and then restore to another.
I have just ordered the Hero in the UK. Is there anyway of importing my contacts/messages from a WM6.1 handset to Android?
For contact u can use activesync to sync with google. i used it for calendar and contacts. I don't know how you can sync the messages.
the settings for active sync google
Server adres: m.google.com
Username: account at google [email protected]
Password: your gmail password
IMPORTENT
Only check Contacts and calendar else the sync won't work and you will get a error.

Hi,
I'm about to upgrade to the latest ROM, and I think I need to save my contact list before I do it - is that right?
However, in activesync, there is no check-box to tick next to contacts, so it can't synchronize them for me. I use outlook express, so I thought it should be simple enough. What's wrong?
Is there any other simple way of retaining my contacts during an upgrade, because I'm not really fussed about having them on outlook.
Thanks for any help,
Phil
without being sure then i think that use need to use outlook and not outlook express to have contacts
outlook 2k came free on the cd of both my xda1 and 2
Outlook 2002 is hacking me off
Aaargh - please help!!!
After Rudegar's suggestion to use Outlook 2002 rather than Outlook express, I fished out the CD that came with my XDA II and installed Outlook 2002 and activesync onto a new PC.
Activesync connects OK and tries to sync my contacts as I wanted it to, but Outlook is messing about, and the contacts end up unresolved. When I try to do anything to do with contacts in Outlook, it says "Could not open the Item - try again". Even simply manually creating a new one.
So I thought I'd set up an email account - perhaps I need one to have contacts, but the help file says to go to "Tools" and "Email accounts", but there isn't an "Email accounts" option on the tools menu!
Outlook is really hacking me off now - all i want to do is to have somewhere to store my contacts whilst I do a ROM upgrade - this is CRAZY!!
PLEASE help - this is doing my nut!
Phil

did you set up your mail account in the inbox of your device ?
if you click the account menu and choose new account you should begin setting up your account
about the resolve conflicting then under options in activesync there are a place where you set up rules as to how activesync handle conflicts
also people seem to be reporting issues with usb'ing their xda devices with
windows 9X (ME) series os
I'm not sure I understand - I don't actually use pocket outlook on the device. I was talking about setting up an account on my laptop so that outlook 2002 would allow me to have a contact list on the laptop which I would then use to store the contacts on whilst I do a rom upgrade on the XDA II....
contacts is pocket outlook along with the calander and tasks and appointments
if you mean that you had issues setting up an account on the outlook on the pc then choose tools
choose services
and add mail
there isn't a services item on my tools menu...

Hello,
I have a question about using the Hero as "gateway" to sync my exchange contacts with Gmail.
I have my addressbook in Exchange (I have to use it in my company), although for my personal email I use gmail. But I want to have a single contacts / calendar database. The calendar can be synced easily with googlesync, but not the contacts. Exporting and Importing with CSV file doesn't work very well as Exchange contacts sometimes shows exchange email address and it's not usable in gmail.
My idea is to use the Hero to sync the contacts with exchange (already done via HTC Sync), and then push them to gmail adressbook. But I cannot find a way to do this. Anybody knows?
Thanks
I'm currently doing so.
But sorry to say although you can do so, some additional details(such as your customed infomation about your contact) it's not usable in gmail's exchange service. Gmail sync only supported information of every contact.
but of course you can try it yourself.
imap.gmail.com port 993 ssl needed
smtp.gmail.com port 465 or 587 STARTTLS/SSL neede
account: your gmail username(with @gmail.com)
address: your gmail username(with @gmail.com)
password: I believe you know it.
Then don't forget to check the boxes that allowed you to sync contacts with exchange server.
hi.
I started using windows live messenger app on my hd2, then it synced all of the emails of my friends to the hd2 contacts list, I didnt want that so i deleted them from my contacts list without knowing that IT WILL DELETE ALL OF MY MSN FRIENDS from messenger, so now i have no friends on when i enter messenger(on hd2 and PC).
PLEASE PLEASE tell me that there is some backup file that will allow me to restore my friends.

It there not on your email account on Hotmail.com then they've gone, I'm pretty sure MSN don't back them up.

Yeah, they're gone. Sorry to say, that's happened to me.
Microsoft needs to work that **** out. Between Outlook and Hotmail. The integration is horrible, they're two different databases that cannot be merged easily.
I now have to always sync both my Activesync and my Hotmail contacts. Or else I risk losing some people. Totally stupid.

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to synchronise The new Mozart 7 with Outlook for contacts and calender ?
Thanks.
That is the way I have got my contacts etc onto my Mozart ignoring the sim card route although it was via work Outlook by Exchange
The only way I managed to do this was to setup a hotmail account and copy all of my contacts within outlook. Provided you have the outlook connector installed you can add the new hotmail account to your mozart and the next time you sync it will transfer over all your contacts and appointments.
unfortunately i have the 64-bit microsoft office, outlook doesn't work with wmdc or seemingly anything else, never has worked and microsoft seems in no hurry to fix this, oh well, luckily most fo my contacts were in my windows live ID so it all got synced
I've got it syncing via exchange. Have to say for all it's failures (it is going back sadly) at least it syncs outlook flawlessly but then it is a Microsoft product..
Have sync'd two exchange accounts, contacts, calendars... and it's smart enough to not double up on duplicate contacts.
There is no ActiveSync possible in WP7. You have to sync via some sort of online service (Hotmail, Gmail, Exchange, etc).
FYI, even Microsoft recomend against using Office 64bit unless you are working with mega huge spreadsheet type data (4GB+ files).
how to sync notes and tasks from outlook 2007 to WM7?
does anyone know how to do a GAL lookup after you setup the device with an exchange account?
Synchronization with Outlook
Hello,
It's possible to calendar, contact...
1) You must add a microsoft plugin in Outlook 2010 (Outlook.Connector)
2) Create a new account (ex : [email protected])
(This account should be the same as WM7 phone account)
3) The news informations of calendar or contacts are send in account @live.fr
when you click on SEND/RECEIVE
4) You start "Hotmail App." on the mobile (with your account) and you synchronize.
5) The news "Outlook Informations" are now in your mobile phone
Best regards

Hi guys,
I have been used to using Windows MyPhone for doing a on-line backup of my contacts from WM 6.5. This application and Windows MyPhone service is gonna be removed, so I wanna ask, what I can use instead of that? I have never found some frontend application for WM 6.5, that supports SkyDrive.
Thanks for reply..
Use Live hotmail. When you sync with Windows Live, your mail/appointments/contacts will be sync.

This has always worked well for me. As far as i know there are two ways of doing it:
Use the Windows Live app, which will sync your contacts and email.
Use activesync which will backup tasks and calendar too, as well as push email (delivers email in real time, not limited to sending/receiving every x minutes. have a look at this page http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_...ar-and-contacts-with-exchange-activesync.aspx or google exchange activesync hotmail
note that syncing with windows live will also download all your previous contacts from the server.
(not to hijack, but quick question: there's no way to sync contacts and not show messenger contacts in your windows mobile contacts for instance, is there?)
I had much more luck syncing with Google Calendar than with Hotmail Calendar. And it wasn't for the lack of trying. Syncing with Hotmail is like syncing with Desktop Outlook. Great while it works but once it's broken, it's broken for good. On the contrary, in about a year of syncing with Google I haven't run into a problem yet that I wasn't able to resolve. I am syncing Calendar, Contacts and email using ActiveSync, and tasks using GogTasks freeware. Contacts sync especially has been flawless.
If you can live with Google's limitations (no category support unless you buy a 3rd party app, have to jump through hoops to sync Tasks), I suggest you try that.
