Hi everyone,
I just got my hero and now I'm wondering is there any way to sync my thunderbird with the email client on my htc hero ?
I want to import all emails with folders and contacts .... But until now it seems impossible
If anyone has an idea please share with me.
Thanks
If you're willing to sync your Hero with Google, then it's easy:
- sync your mail (and SMS too!) to Gmail, and then TB can access them from Gmail via IMAP. And vice versa.
- sync your Contacts toGmail contacts, and TB can access them via the Zindus plugin. and vice versa.
This is the setup I used but I have experienced a lot of problems with the contact synchronisation. I had a few contacts who have been deleted from my address books, I think due to the fact that not all fields in Thunderbird map 1 on 1 with gmail contacts. I had the settings in Zindus set to manual and warning for conflicts but still a few problems. I have now stopped syncing the thunderbird contacts with gmail contacts. If I have a new contact I will enter it in both gmail and thunderbird. The Zindus sync helped me alot for the initial sync because I have more than 800 contacts in my Thunderbird
Grtz
thanks for the warning...

Over the last few days I have completely lost all of my contacts twice. I would really appreciate some advise or a point in the right direction to solving my frustration.
I am running the official HTC ROM version 2.73 and everything was running fine up until two days ago. I originally had all of my contacts stored under 'Phone' as I had a fresh sim card and the rest of my contacts were spread over several accounts (gmail, hotmail, exchange server) and none of my phone numbers were stored electronically.
The first time there was some error message that I did not pay attention to (as they do tend to pop up every now and again) followed by a phone reset and loss of all my contacts and some associated data (call logs but not email or SMS). After attempting and failing to find these numbers I decided to re-enter my contacts but this time save them under 'Google' contacts so they would be backed up to my gmail.
I had just finished re-entering all of my contacts and then all but 30-odd were gone again. This happened following a forced close and reset of the sense UI (as has been happening with increased frequency of late). All of my favourites had also been deleted - leaving me very frustrated! The lost contacts are also not saved in my gmail and many that remain have been duplicated four or five times.
If anyone could advise me on my problem I would be very appreciative
Thanks

Do you utilize HTC Sync ?
As I understand, contacts stored in the "Google" Group are automatically synced with contacts in you Google Account ; contacts stored in the "Phone" Group are synced by HTC Sync with contacts in Outlook or Outlook Express on your PC running HTC Sync.
I had installed HTC sync but was yet to untalise it as I did not realise that 'Phone' contacts had anything to do with it. I do not have any contacts stored on my home laptop and therefore whenever a sync was done, zero contacts were synced.
I have changed the setting of my sync from MS Outlook to Windows address book and all of my contacts seem to have reapeared - both phone and google contacts. All of my phone contacts seem to have lost the link with Facebook but I think that may be a recuring problem with Hero users.
Thanks for the suggestion - hopefully now I can sort all of my contacts out!
Weird???
I have never had a problem with Sense UI having to 'force close'
That's very unfortunate, especially as it happened just as you'd input all your contacts again.
I never use HTC Sync personally but if you have all your contact's details - try inputting them into your Google account using a pc. This way they should just sync with your phone automatically, and it's much easier than entering them on your phone!
If the 'force close' issue keeps happening - I would send it back and get a repair done, or a replacement!
Hope this helps,
Dan
Good people, I've been on Android ever since the Hero came out and right now I'm waiting to get my new Legend in the mail.
BUT, I've never been sure what's the best way to organize and sync email, contacts and calendar appointments. Do you store all contacts ON the phone and backup thru HTC Sync and Outlook, do you ditch that and go full Google? Do you use IMAP with Hotmail? Exchange Server server with private mail?
First some info about me: I've had a private email service for some years now and a Hotmail account. I've wanted to keep these because of the hassle changing, but I finally caved in and started using the Gmail account I set up YEARS ago (so nobody would take it). I've stopped using Thunderbird as a email client, I've stopped using Lightning as a calendar tool and I've decided to use Hotmail just for junk (ie. Newsletters, registrations on various services I don't need to keep track of).
Now ALL my contacts are "Phone" contacts, not Google contacts. I sync my contacts with Outlook with HTC Sync, but I NEVER USE OUTLOOK. I sync Google Calendar with the Hero and I only use Gmail with the phone.
You getting me? All the options are, stressing me... I need a way to consolidate all my contacts across the board, all my tasks, events, notes...everything, the same everywhere.
1) Would you change all phone contacts to Google contacts?
2) Can you change all "Phone" contacts to "Google" contacts?
3) Use both "HTC Mail" app with IMAP or just use "Gmail" App
- right now I get two notifications, both from the HTC app and the Gmail app.
Edit: I really with HTC could supply a tool, like HTC Sync, that would allow full control of the phone on you laptop, full sync capabilleties and the option to store it locally in HTC Sync (NOT Outlook) and in the Cloud as a backup.
ermmm personally i would sync all my contacts with gmail...at first its a bit messy cos u start getting gmail emails contacts in it but u learn to embrace it...specially if ur email list isnt way too big...syncing ur contacts with google is good specially if u have ORD(obsessive rom disorder) cos it saves u time backing up stuff...and it syncs via cloud so why bother plugging it in to sync
ermmm in terms of gmail i removed it from my htc app and just use the gmail app...the htc mail app is useful if u have any other accounts like hotmail or exchange or secondary emails...if u still want gmail on a pretty looking htc mail app u can just go to the gmail app and turn off notifications(that way u wont have 2 notifications for a single email)...
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.

This problem has been bothering me for a long time now.
I have an Exchange account with my school that I sync my email and contacts to my android phone with no problems. However, the school made a shared calendar for our class schedules that I added to my Exchange account (by adding the URL), but this calendar will not sync to my phone. If I create my own events in my personal calendar, that works fine and shows up, but the calendar that I added from the school will not. It shows up just fine on Outlook on the PC.
My current solution is to just add that calendar to my google account and sync it, but the problem with that is that our class schedules can sometimes change suddenly and gmail doesn't sync very often, which has led to some problems for me in the past. I would much rather have the direct syncing of the calendar to my phone instead of through google.
What makes it more aggravating is that my friend has no problem syncing the calendar with iOS, so I know it should be possible. I've tried using Touchdown but that has the same problem.
Here is an image from the Outlook Web app showing both calendars
Thanks in advance for your help
My phone: MyTouch 4G running ICS. I had this problem even on other GB roms.
Question
Sorry i can't help you but i have question . I saw you wrote your friend has no problem sync shared calendar on iOS. Can you tell me how he did that and do i need some kind of app. I'm trying to sync my shared calendar (Outlook 2010) to my friends iPhone, but iPhone only syncs his calendar when i create exchange activesync account on his iPhone. Thank you
Hello guys,
I have a common quesiton about synchronising my gmail and Exchange (work) account with my HTC Desire HD Android Version 2.3.5
At the moment I synchronise my gmail accoutn with mail, calender, tasks and phone directory.
For future use I want to synchronise with Exchange from work, even the same functions like gmail.
For gmail I use the given gmail-mail program which is implemented with Android.
For Exchange I'd like to use the "Mail" function which is also a standard tool from Android.
My question:
1. I've seen that there is the possibility to show or not show different calenders, phone books etc. When I creat the Exchange additionally to the gmail account, is there a complete new calender built with the Exchange rules or does it use my gmail calender? The same for phone directory.
I want to avoid that the two accounts will be fully mashed in the future. So, if I quit my workplace I want to delete the Exchange account and all work information will be lost but not my personal gmail account, settings and personal data like calender, phone directory etc.
2. Is the Exchange completely separated to the gmail account?
I'm a littel bit frightend to configure the Exchange accoutn because I don' want to mix up the two accounts.
I hope I wrote it in a understandable way and not redundant to an existing article.
Thanks a lot and regards
The email app and the gmail app are different, are independent one of the other. You'll have no problem, nor with the contacts.
