Dear friends I will be thankful if some one can help me regarding free-wares 3rd party software for synchronization of I-mate PDA2k to MS outlook Express. Thanks a lot.
to my knowledge, OE does NOT sync with Pocket PC's. You're out of luck. However, you should be able to install Outlook via the CD that came with your PDA2k and import all of your mail, contacts and e-mail account information into Outlook so that you have everything there that you have in Outlook Express.
I know Outlook is different than Outlook Express, and takes a lot more of a PC to push it, but you may not have a choice...
If someone else knows of something that can sync with OE, I'd love to know what it is...
Looking for the same tool, I found this :

"googling around" something more can be found ...
HI,
i have a new Wizard. Former i got a MDA III with windows mobile 2003. Now i have the problem that the sync SW is not working anymore syncing with Lotus Notes. Does anyone has experinece which peace of SW does work to sync especially contacts and calendar.
greetings
Commontime mNotes
mNotes does work. It's not great but may be the best. An alternative is a link M$ provide to Outlook which is free and may work for you.
I have mNotes and it now works after I had some trouble installing it.
What else could work is the latest version of intellisync.
so long...
IBM has a sync tool called EasySync Pro. It is a bluewashed version of XTNDConnect. I believe XTNDConnect has WM5 support as the IBM version of it is being beta'd now... I'm using the IBM beta version and it seems to work well.
Another vote for mnotes. It works very well for me. Have used it with an imate jam and cingular 8125.
I use IntelliSync with Groupwise and it is pretty smooth. You might take a look at the free trial http://www.sync.com/is_desktop_main.html
What version of mNotes are you guys using?
I tried using 4.2.0 which works ok for a couple of hours but then I dont seem to be able to run mCentre, mStatus etc. I had to downgrade to 4.1 to get a more reliable solution.
Also how is the push email working out for you? Mine works flawlessly as long as the device is awake...After it is in sleep mode (i.e screen off) it can be very hit and miss. I keep finding that I need to wake the device to check my email - which kind of defeats the object!

Sinanju is correct that XTNDConnect PC works with WM5 devices. I tried several programs but eventually settled on XTNDConnect PC to sync with Lotus Notes 7 (only calendar syncing). I had been using EasySync Pro 4.2.3 with my HP iPAQ 4155 but once I bought my MDA, I had to find a new solution.
I wish I had access to the EasySync Pro 4.2.4 beta but for now I am happy with XTNDConnect PC.
I also have to agree Mnotes is the best, a little expensive though and the 4 weeks trial period is a little short.
If, however by accident, your computer thinks it's already living in 2010 before you first install it, it lasts a little longer.

I've used XTNDConnect PC (extensively), Easysync (briefly), Intellisync (briefly) and now mNotes. If you are looking for power and flexibility, mNotes is by far the best, IMO. And... the best thing about it is that it allows you to sync to your Notes client computer over WiFi! I love that!
Dont use notes!
We have notes at work. I downloaded the Outlook connector for domino, and now i use outlook 2003 instead of notes. My Varo syncs withouth any issues to outlook.
Its not perfect - but its MUCH better than having to use notes.

I did that for a while. My issue with it was that folks in my office like to use multiple-line subjects in calendar entries. The Outlook connector will chop them off at one line and that gets sync'd back to Domino... even if you look at the calendar in Notes, the data will be gone. Unfortunately, that was a deal breaker for me.
You might want to look into Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook (DAMO)... it's an IBM product that will do what the Outlook connector will do without nearly as many limitations.

Sync with Lotus Notes for WM5
Hi
Try xtndconnect pc desktop from ianywhere.
http://www.ianywhere.com/products/xtndconnect_pc.html
Exelent
Here's another path;
I really don't like Notes so I use Outlook as my front end but everyone needs to see my calendar so what to do. I found a program called doublelook, it syncs calendar & contacts between notes & outlook & works great.
http://www.companionlink.com/
It doesnt do email so that could be an issue for some. I had created an agent to bounce my emails to a pop3 site but some IS weeny freaked out and took away my agent privilages, anyone know a hack around on this?
Another vote for Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook.
I HATE Lotus Notes. The software is so ass backwards and archaic looking it makes me nauseaus every time I have to go into it for something, but I digress....
A buddy of mine first told me about the MS Outlook Connector from Microsoft. I really liked that one as it gave you the cool translucent popups for new mail notifications in Office 2003, but after installing it I could not see all of the mail folders I had setup on the Domino server, as well as I would occasionally lose a folder or two along the way. This also happened to another co-worker. Totally unreliable and needs much work. Frankly, I think they ought to pull that connector until such time as it can be made to work correctly. (Usually I'm a huge proponent of anything MS.)
I spoke with our Domino consultant and he gave us a copy of Domino Access for Microsoft Outlook. This is a decent little program that works great. It does not require you to have Lotus Notes installed on your PC at all. Since installing it, I use Outlook exclusively. It gives you tons of functionality that the MS client doesn't, and most importantly I can see all of my mail folders. It has some shortfalls, like I can't look at some shared departmental calendars as they don't belong to a specific person.
For syncing with my Wizard though, it works like a champ and gets me out of using that dreadful Notes client.
Your IT admin may not be as receptive to the idea of you using/installing Outlook. Fortunately for me I am the IT guy and it's not an issue
i had this same problem yesterday, i downloaded Intellisync 5.5 and it works great with Lotus R6 and T-Mobile MDA
On the TF3D sceen, is there any way to link the mail button to the outlook mail instead of the "internet" mail?
Thanks
Err... If you set up your Outlook mail.. it would work.
If you set up your Outlook Mail and KEEP the Internet Mail (as well), then you will have both of them being accessed from the TF3D mail button (two envelopes on the right, instead of one)
If you set up your Outlook Mail and DELETE the Internet Mail, then you will have one envelope on the right .. and THAT will be the one for Outlook Mail.
To set up your Outlook mail, Tap on TF3D mail button
Then tap on Inbox
Then - Menu - Tools - Options
Now, tap on Outlook E-mail and enter the settings.
I actually tried to configure the Outlook Mail account (time pass) for gmail.
I couldn't get it to work.. (for some reason - sure I did something wrong).
Tried to sync Outlook Mail with my PC using Active Sync... some certificate validity issues came up..
Then, just decided to chuck it.
Had two envelopes appearing on the side.. just went ahead and cleared up everything from the registry - related to the mail set ups and set up my Gmail as the Internet Mail again.
I have set up my Outlook, and as you can see from screenshot, it's got mail in it, however, if I delete my POP3 email, the TF3D screen shows no accounts in the mail screen...
Anyone got any idead how to link the Outlook Inbox to the TF3D Mail screen??
Your email notification icon at the top looks quite suspicious... do you have another email client (such as BB Connect or Intellisync Mobile Suite) installed? I used Intellisync before and this is the icon I received and it also wasnt appearing in TF3D.
Let me know if you are using Intellisync- there is a work-around

It's much better than Outlook Mobile isn't it? Nice to have REAL push mail
The reason TF3D isnt working is because it only recognises Outlook Mobile and not IMS and you do not have an Outlook account setup. The workaround (I'm hoping to find a better way) is to create an Outlook account through Activesync/Mobile Device Center on your PC. I've done some tests and there is no conflict between the two.
The downside is that there is no real integration between TF3D/Outlook and IMS so IMS is essentially working in Parallel. What I am trying to figure out is how to map TF3D to IMS so that when you click the envelope it takes you to IMS and not Outlook. At least with this workaround, you will get the best of both worlds with TF3D showing you your emails and IMS giving you the real push mail functionality which Outlook lacks.
Let me know if it works for you

Excellent. I'm now showing the envelope in the Mail TF3D screen. I presume that with this workaround, all I will ever get is the "Click to view message" message, and not the first few lines of the message that you get with a POP3 account or a proper outlook account. (see attached)
From reading your message I am also guessing you are using version 8 or 9 of IMS. I currently look after 3 servers all using varieties of version 6. I have just created a new server with version 9 which installs the "intellisync" suite of application on the device. I've tried it on an XDA Exec, XDA Orbit (and some nokia and Sony Ericsson devices). I haven't tried it on the Diamond yet. How is it on that?

Correct.
I am using version 9 which works like a charm. I work for the local operator here in Dubai and am currently one of a few internal testers for IMS before we launch it as a service. I find it to be very functional and light on resources- highly highly recommended. Beats all competition including Blackberry (I've also set it up to get a personal POP3 account in much the same way as BB Internet does)
As for how much of the message appears in the TF3D, this depends on how much you tell Outlook to download of the message- all you need is a couple of KBs at the most to get the first few lines in the envelope.
Hey guys
I'm sorry but this will be probably an off-topic and stupid question but when you receive an email on your Diamond does it look like on your pc and can you view emails that have lots of graphics in them ??
I'm really sorry but this is my first WM device and i would like to know things like that
It depends on what kind of email account you are setting up on the device. If it's an Exchange account, the server has to be running Exchange 2007 for you to get HTML email on your device. Internet Email and IMAP display HTML without any problems.
well i've been using maill2web and it just emails didn't look like they should. Maybe you can tell me where can i find a good exchange server or something like that ??

Well... there's many to choose from depending on your needs and budget (not sure of any free ones but you'll probably find some out there- although possibly not because Exchange is not cheap to install or maintain). Anyway a simple Google will give you many results http://www.google.ae/search?hl=en&q=hosted+exchange&meta=
Anyone found the solution yet ?
Noticed the solution to sync to a phony account - But I would really prefer to sort this via a registry tweak or similar.
I need to roll this out to a large number of corporate users, so the phony tweak is kind of hard to roll out compared to a registry modification.
Anyone?...
Its kind of frustrating to see the number of new emails in the notification area of TF3D but not actually being able to use the TF3D envelope function.

Any news on this ?
Any sight of that Intellisync patch ?
I made the move from my loved but aging HTC Fuze to the Samsung Captivate...I was waiting on Windows Phone 7 but the wait was killing me.
Anyway, I wanted to see what was generally considered the best way to sync Outlook's contacts, calendars, tasks and notes.
I downloaded DejaOffice along with the Compainion. The Companion piece expires after 14 days, so was wondering if there was anything else out there.
So far, I like this set up...it isn't bad...
Thanks,
Brian
I like Touchdown by Nitrodesk. It isn't perfect, but it's dependable. It has a 30 free trial with all functions available.
HTH
Edit: Should mention this syncs with an Exchange server. I don't know if it syncs with Outlook directly.
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gappssync
After my fair share of searching and trying this and that I settled on gSyncit. Works good so far. Yes, it goes through Google. It gets the tasks right and handles contact pictures.

Does the Google Apps Synch for MS Outlook only work if your business switches totally to Google Apps? I need to keep my info on my company's Exchange server and sync it up with the phone, not move or transition to another server or anything like that.
Can this do simple sync contacts, calendar, and notes?
I set up the outlook web mail here at work (RPC over HTTP) and used the e-mail client to just hook up through that. Works fine for me but I may be missing some functionality you are looking for.
HTC HD7 with WM7 - there is no provision to synchronise with microsoft outlook using Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Centre.
Alternate way of using Exchange Activesync does look complicated
Please address the issue
This has been Answered
There are some workarounds & a 3rd party app, the solutions have been posted and can be easily found with a simple search (here is a hint, CompanionLink for outlook, Windows Live Connector, Gmail Sync). This is a very hot issue and I suspect there will be more solutions forthcomming
Cheers

I followed method two from the two ways to sync and worked just fine. I kind of like getting away from Outlook anyway. Hotmail/Windows Live is great since it can used through any computer contected to the internet to update contacts, phone numbers, etc. But I could see if this is an issue if you primarily use Outlook.

The problem I have is my company isn't running Exchange so for me to get my calendar and contacts I need a way to sync with Outlook.
I've tried Hotmail Connector and it works well for a one time sync but if you have a lot of changes to your calendar I have to make the changes in Outlook and Hotmail.
I refuse to pay $40 for something that should work out of the box.

Unfortunately, both are cloud solutions, which are unacceptable to me for both security and privacy.
If the WM7 device were seen as an external storage device (apparently doable via the registry), does anyone know whether this could faciliate a direct USB sync with Outlook 2010 32-bit?
Both solutions are OK for a one off copy of Calender & Contacts but do not perform a true contniuous Sync with Outlook and do not handle TASKS

if you are not ready to play with the cloud, I don't think wp7 is for you. They seem very serious about making the cloud an integral part of the OS going forward.

no microsoft myphone. All syncing goes through your live email address (like hotmail). For me, I had all my contact info on gmail because of playing on android with my hd2.
1. Logged into hotmail
2. clicked on import contacts under the contacts view
3. Clicked on gmail and followed the instructions
Took about 10 minutes.
For outlook I'm pretty sure you can do something similar, though I think you might need outlook connector from the marketplace to bridge it over from outlook to hotmail. You will only have to do this once, but then I guess your outlook will not be a syncable acct on you phone.
Just looked on my hotmail and it says to export your outlook contacts to a file that you can then upload to hotmail.
I'm a Windows Mobile User for 2 years now (SE Xperia X1) and loved the way I can sync it with outlook.
I have all my contacts (approx 500) in outlook and also use the calendar (+5000 items)
I've spent some time in the past to get the info on my contacts straight and I'm very disappointed about the lack of synchronisation options between WP7 and outlook.
Why does everything needs to be cloud-based.
I don't sync every day, but neither use outlook on everyday basis.
I never experienced syncing problems on either calender/notes/contacts or mail.
I have read something about features that will be added in the near future into WP7 and hope that local outlook synchronisation is one of them.
Hi guys,
I`m new to WM7 and i`m trying t sync my contacts as well. I don`t use Outlook and idon`t have an account.Is there any other way to get my contacts on te phone?
Thanks
So the windows 7 software allows syncing to google calender, email and contacts?
I'm stunned that there is no native support for Outlook synchronization with Exchange - this is old school and what I consider a core component of any smartphone I purchase.
I've just bought a HD7 assuming it would have this functionality (why would I check for this on a Windows phone, next I'll need to check the thing makes calls), guess I'm going to have to sell it on.
There maybe Third party solutions but I can't imagine they're ever going to work as well as a direct sync with the Exchange server in my office, giving Contacts, Tasks, Calendar Items, etc.
Absolutely gutted.
B
Of course there's native support.
If you have an exchange server, you have ZERO to worry about.
The issue is people who use Outlook for Pop and Imap. Or people who just use it for tasks and contacts. Without a Hotmail Connector, there is no way to interface with Outlook like the old school Active Sync did.
Again though, If you have Exchange, it works exactly like it does on any other platform, if not better. The only thing lacking right now is Tasks.
Jimbonics,
I could kiss you. My wife wouldn't like it (and neither would you most likely, I'm stubbly)
I've been reading phone forums, reviews and specs for what seems like months trying to choose the right phone (offline voice command via bluetooth is essential for me but Android doesn't do it and other devices have flaky support) so I skim read this thread: my bad.
Thanks for making my day.
