Is there any way to synchronize the SMS on MDA with Outlook on PC? Or just to transfer them on PC and then view it?
Check this link http://www.tekguru.co.uk/Arc_2002_01.html ... the app name is IA Phone Manager ... it does SMS exporting to spreadsheet file ... among other functions.
Thank you! :mrgreen:
I downloaded the phone manager. It transfers the messages from a phone to a PDA. What I'm lookin for is a program that sybchronizes my sms messages with outlook on my desktop
Friends,
I could not access my email using microsoft outlook in XDA since it is a vpn email. Now, I'm trying to use Pocket PC Internet Explorer to acces my Outlook Web Access (OWA) using xda. If using Internet Explorer (IE) in PC, the email will be shown in saparate new window after clicking the email header. Unfortunetly, using xda I could only view the mail header but not the email contains. Clicking to that email header doesn't bring me to the email contains. I suspect that this is because the Pocket PC IE does not support multiple window.
Can someone advise is there ant work arount on it?
Hi,
Does HTC mail (I've currently got a 2.1 ROM but on any ROM) support Push email? I know Gmail does and I've tried K9 mail but didn't get along with it great. Also I'm trying to revert to stock HTC apps ready for the update.

Android only supports push gmail and push exchange.
The way push works is you need a server to push the the phone, the software is relatively easy once you have the server to do the hard work.
Hence why Blackberry's have to have their own "online portal" where you add all your email addresses to as the BB server then gets the emails and pushes them to your phone.
There are third party apps available that do this for android but none use HTML and they are quite expensive.

i got a stange workaround though...basically made gmail my main account but what you can do is create a new gmail account, have it to forward all the mail there. the only issue is if you still want to actually use your hotmail or whichever email, you will not be able to tell which you have read yet...
I know that we can export the contacts from outlook to a .csv file and push it to google and sync it from there, but this is not what I want. I have custom fields, as well as pictures for my contacts that won't get exported via .csv method. Besides, I want to keep my gmail and outlook contacts separate as I have millions of email contacts in gmail that I don't need in my phone contacts list.
Is there a way to directly sync contacts with Outlook with Atrix?
If you're using Exchange via ActiveSync, that would probably work. Touchdown is another alternative. But I don't believe there is a device <-> desktop sync available. If you don't have too many contacts (under 250) you can use Soocial to sync from Outlook to their server to your phone.
I was actually looking for a device <--> phone sync (it's a local outlook address book, not an exchange server) but I will check Soocial, thanks.
Easy and free.

I don't see the Atrix 4g on their selection of Motorola's?
IMHO, the best contact/calendar sync is Funambol. It's open source, with SyncML clients for just about every computer and mobile phone OS on the market. I use it to sync my contacts and calendar with Outlook on home and work PCs, and on two mobile phones, including Atrix.
The sync is done through a Funambol server. You can make your own private server with a web-connected PC or NAS, or you can use the MyFunambol cloud server.
Best of all, Funambol is FREE for individual users.
I sync outlook with my device using MyPhoneExplorer, and MyPhoneExplorer client on the ATrix. Both are free, and work great!!
Hope this helps.
How can these cloud services sync desktop or mobile Outlook contacts with Android if the fields and field names are different in two systems? Some exist in one and don't exist in the other... Google let's you name your phone numbers, Outlook does not....
I will 2nd MyPhoneExplorer is awesome free app. It gives you Wifi access to both phone memory and ext. sd card...so you can drag and drop files or browse.
You can sync to outlook, thunderbird, and others.

Myphoneexplorer was fine for a while then completely screwed my appointments. Would delete appoinments everytime I added a new one then copied all google appointment to outlook appointments! When i deleted them from outlook it then deleted them from google. Uninstalled.
Hi all,
Recently purchased a Samsung Nexus S. The stock email client (not the GMail app), using POP3 will delete mails once they have been downloaded, or when I next sync. Occasionally it will not delete all mails, just some. The option to delete from the server is not ticked and no other clients are pulling from the server, so its not the case that another app is deleting them. To confirm, emails aren't being deleted after say 10 days, they are being deleted within minutes, and I'm only downloading a handful of mails.
Any help much appreciated- all forum posts seem to relate to other clients consuming from the server and deleting mails, which isnt my issue. Cheers.
Andy
If I remember correctly, POP email servers are linked between the mobile device and the regular computer. If you delete something on the computer it will be deleted on the phone and vice versa. If this isn't the case, are you sure they're being deleted and not hidden do to being marked as read? Check the trash to see if they've been sent there.
Thanks for the reply.
Messages are not being moved to any visible folders, and no other client (ie Outlook) are accessing this mail server.
Thanks.
OK, I kind of resolved this, if it helps anyone.
Firstly, I tried a different POP3 and also an IMPA provider with the mail client - both work fine, no problems. Then I recalled that my mail provider (Virgin Media UK) have recently advised that it is necessary to put 'recent:' ahead of the POP3 username, making it 'recent:[email protected]'. Now the default mail client won't allow this format of username, presumably some internal validation on the client side does not permit it.
So I tried K9 Mail - this behaves the same way with the standard POP3 username, but with the 'recent:' prefix (which it allows) my mails aren't deleted every time I pull from the server. My thoughts are that without the 'recent:' prefix, Virgin Media only returns the new mails - as the default mail client syncs with the server on a 1:1 relationship, it then deletes all old messages (even if they are only a few seconds old). With 'recent:' I think Virgin Media supplies a whole chunk of recent emails, not just the new ones, and the client app essentially doesn't delete the older mails until the time I happen to sync and they are no longer classed as 'recent'.
So in summary, there is no fix for the built-in client - but a workaround is to use K9, which seems a better client anyway. What's most ironic is that Virgin Media's email service uses Google Mail. Oh dear...
