E70 and Outlook synchronizing

5 replies · 2,690 views · Started 03 December 2006

Hi all

I really miss synchronizing my Phone with my outlook.
Im really happy about the E70, but I sure miss this feature I had on my last phone (Qtek smartphone).

I am NOT on an Exchange Server, but I still want to synchronize my mail several times a day.

Is there no tool out there that lets me do that ?

Thanks and regards

I know a program called emoze. It handles push email, syncing with Outlook, calendars etc. I dont know if it supports the E70 but it does symbiam. I ran it with a pocket pc I had and it work great . It even syncs after every new entry made in outlook so you are always up to date.

The Nokia Suite software supports Outlook & Lotus Notes syncing.

Unlike Windows Mobile, it assumes only one profile and one PC, and I'm still working on how this affects it, ( Isync at work & at Home)but it works well over USB and Bluetooth.

You can trigger a connected phone to sync , or a PC to sync every hour, 30 or 15 minutes. You'll havre to set the phone to authorised BT without interaction - but it's fairly obvious from the Paired menu options on E70/Tools/Bluetooth.

You can choose to sync Calander & Tasks, Contacts, Notes, to any location in Outlook.

I believe the next line is RTFM...........

Good Luck!

I believe that the OP was talking about synchronizing his emails, not his contacts or tasks. Nokia PC Suite won't do that for some reason. Why Nokia doesn't include this feature is beyond my understanding. Even the tiny Sendo had added email sync to its PC Connect application for its Sendo X Series 60 phone. That was more than 2 years ago.

The Nokia E61 is a bit of a joke, just purchased it recently and I'm very dissapointed to see that Email can not be Synced with my PC at home. I mean who is actually going to have an Exchange Server running at home???

I'm approaching Nokia about this and if they do not have a credible idea or way forward the phone is going back. This really defeats the object of having a smartphone.

Any others?

It really depends on how you intend to use your E61, please do not take this as a flame!

I use the email on my E61 when I am away from my desktop, i.e abroad or stuck in a hotel through wireless, I connect to my isp mail and the usual flavour of hotmail gmail away from the desktop, I don't d'l the full txt til I have seen the headers and they usually stay on the servers anyway.
If the email is that important to me and it is on the desktop to start with then the information will usually be transferred to the E61 by another means anyway. (i.e. quickoffice or the document transfer/sync)
