Help Using SyncML with Outlook .

3 replies · 3,649 views · Started 10 November 2004

Hi,
I heard you can use the SyncML app with the NGage to
Sync over GPRS the Calander+Contacts.
How Can I do this ? what do I need to config
in Outlook and in the Ngage ?
Can any1 help ?

It is rather complicated to set up, and you need a bunch of stuff to make it happen:

First you need to find a so called SyncML Server program.

If you run it on your desktop PC, your desktop PC needs to be accessible from the Internet, and the SyncML Server software needs to know how to read/write Outlook.

The commercial SyncML Server products you install on a server box, and then use their capability to connect to the back-end messaging servers such as Microsoft Exchange, Novell GroupWise, IBM/Lotus Notes/Domino or whatever.

Once you have the SyncML Server working, then for the phone you need to have GPRS Internet Access Point settings (IAP), a subscription/plan from your operator that allows you to use the IAP, the Remote Sync app installed and the SyncML settings for the Remote Sync app.

Commercial service, e.g., by http://www.mightyphone.com/

Server products are available from, e.g., fusionOne, Extended Systems, Starfish, etc.:

Thenks for the detailed answer, man... 😊
Is there any freeware server programs ?
I want to use it on my Desktop Pc with Outlook, so which shell I use ?

You can have a look at the Sync4j project.
