Hey,
My situation:
I used outlook account (google) on my HD2.
Then I chose ActiveSync to sync my Contacts, Calender and Mail.
ActiveSync makes a "exchange" (Google has sort of) and the sync with my PC worked.
--> I could sync my mails, contacts and calender with google.
I dont used outlook for this (get the normal web access of google mail.
What I want
I want to sync my Contacts, Mails and Calendar with Outlook on my PC
I tried it at home (Win7, Office2010 32bit, WMDC) and it worked so far that I can sync calendar as well as Contacts (that was the easy part)
What I want and is not working yet:
Sync Emails (get an error message that the sync is not complete in WMDC)
My Outlook (PC):
I have 3 IMAP Accounts (google and 2 others)
No Outlook "configured" on HD2 at the moment (as I end the exchange sync with google, my account on hd2 was deleted)
Question:
Is it possible to sync my IMAP Accounts with the HD2 (It would be okay, if only one account is working)
My standard pst (PC) contains no emails because I only have IMAP and no POP and for IMAP Outlook does not use the standard inbox.
Hm... Shouldn't be a unknown problem should it be? Anyone got this working?
You should just set up the accounts on the phone and separately on the PC.
I can't really comment on WMDC, but with ActiveSync between the phone and the computer I wouldn't let it sync anything you are syncing via IMAP. Any changes you make on the PC will be updated to the net and the next time the phone syncs it will update from the net (and visa versa).
I have an Exchange account on my phone and the same on my work PC. When they are plugged together, the only thing that is synced is favourites.

Hi,
Since installing windows 7, I'm only getting a one way sync (PC to Phone) on my Outlook calendar. I use Outlook 2007 and this was working fine from Vista but now appointment entered on my phone don't copy across. Any ideas? Am I missing something really simple?

I am having the exact same problem.
Reading up on it, I found the solution. When creating a calendar event, you must select (the tab before you name your even) Outlook. This way, the events can be transferred to MS Outlook. For some odd reason, when I selected my gmail account, I get a contact error. I guess you can't have both?
There are separate calendars on your Hero. The Google one syncs with the Google calendar you have with your google account. The Outlook one syncs with Outlook. It means you can, for example use the Google one for your personal appointments and Outlook for work. You can set the calendar to show either or both at the same time.
Hi All,
I am looking for an application that allow me to sync Outlook
with X10 Mini (contacts and Calendar).
I found android-sync but it sync the contacts only.
It is not able to sync the calendar.
Do you have similar problems?
How can I sync phone with outlook?
/Francesco
I use android-sync and this is what I have found out:
- on one computer with Windows Vista and Outlook connected to an Exchange server, it can sync contacts only;
- on another computer with Windows 7 and Outlook using only local folders, it can sync contacts and calendar.
However there is no option to choose what range of dates to use in the sync, it doesn't sync recurring events, tasks or anything else.
I have tried to contact the developer using the email address reported on his website to discuss a couple of bugs but he has not replied to my message at all. On top of all this he also let the application expire at the end of August and uploaded a new version only a few days later so for several days I could not sync at all as I was getting an error message asking to download a new version that didn't exist.
To be honest I think he has lost interest in developing the application. It's a pity because there is basically no alternative. The fact that SonyEricsson has not included any way to perform local synchronisation with this phone is shameful.
Ciao.
Has anyone solved the sync problem?
I use an Outlook plugin called gSyncIt. Cost $15 but worth every penny.
I have 2 calendars and 2 sets of contacts in Outlook, personal and work related. On my google account I simply created 2 new calendars and this program syncs the Outlook calendar of my choice to the Google calendar of my choice.
Once it's on my Google account Android sync gets it to my phone no problems.
It'll also sync contacts/tasks etc
Perfect for me - it means I can use Jorte on my mobile to view my personal Outlook, my shared office calendar and all my shared google calendars at the same time.

But the whole idea was to sync in a way that avoids giving your soul away to the devil. If there is ONE company in the world that I don't trust, that company is Google. Local synchronisation keeps your data to you. That's why it is so important to have Android-Sync or some other workable alternative...
My troubles with Android-Sync continue! Suddenly my phone does not connect anymore! On the phone I get the message that Android-Sync is connect but on my pc the Android-Sync interface behaves as if there is no phone connected. I haven't installed or changed anything on either phone or PC, abd.exe is running and the Windows device manager doesn't report any problems.
I am really losing patience with SonyEricsson and the lack of local synch. I might stick to Android in the future but HTC supports local synchronisation so I will be looking at other phone manufacturers.
what's the outcome? is there a way for a local sync?
I'm a real newbie concerning android but i found in the market this free program called 'My Phone Explorer' and it syncs all my outlook contacts and calender entries without a problem either through wifi or usb cable.
android sync
Just to say I've tried today android sync to synchronize contacts and calendar from my corporate outlook (did not want to sync with google for obvious reasons..).
And it works like a charm !
Here's the link : http://www.android-sync.com/ (it's free)
Connect your mini with USB debug ON.
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

Since I got this phone at release, I've been using HTC Sync to keep my local Outlook contacts and calendar synced to the thunderbolt and it has worked fine. Now my organization has finally gone from a legacy system to Microsoft Exchange, and so I set up push email, contact and calendars, and then exported/imports my local calendar/contacts to the Exchange account on my PC (email was migrated by IT). Only problem is, now I have duplication of calendar entries on my calendar app (which can be hidden but not fixed by unchecking the local calendar in calendar app settings) that I want to get rid of.
I also have duplicate contacts, only thing is the phone linked them so I have linked contacts with 6 entries (phone, exchange activesync, facebook, facebook for htc sense, linkedin, skype) which is ridiculous. Is there any way to delete only the contacts synced from local outlook in the past (which are true duplicates of exchange contacts), then relink everything with the social media (except maybe only have it sync with either htc sense facebook or real facebook) entries. Also, I'm not sure how the phone is treating newly saved contacts, I want to make sure they go to the exchange server, not google or phone/sd card.
A last annoying thing, I use the mail app and primary gmail is my default account ever since this happened, I want it to go back to being my organization account as before (except now that account is exchange not IMAP).
Thanks for the help
You are confusing an Android phone with something professional. It is not! Get yourself a windows phone and the problem will be solved.
so i screwed up and got a windows 8 machine (sony tap20) anyhow its past end of life for google sync but i need to sync outlook calendar with my google calendar, prefer ota like it used to be
help!
Set up a new Mail account using the Windows 8 mail client and select Other, not Gmail. Use m.google.com for the server. After it connects and syncs, go into (charm bar) Settings for that account. You should see the options checked to sync mail, contacts, and calendar. One restriction is it will only sync you main calendar, it will not sync multiple calendars.
