Guest drblow Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Erm ... I have been searching around for a while in the hopes of finding a solution to my current syncing issues with my brand new Vista PC but have not found what I'm looking for. I have set up a sync partnership with my T MobileMDA Touch, and it says that calendar, tasks & contacts are synchronised. I installed the software from the CDROM that came with my Touch, and there seemed to be no version of outlook on it. My Vista Home Permium edition has a 'windows mail' app, and a contacts folder in 'my documents' but neither of these things has synced with my phone. I saw some posts mentioning similar "where's me contacts" type stuff, but the solution seemed to be installing outlook 2007. I don't think I got a copy of that with my phone. Or am I being a dummy - is the windows mail app actually outlook 2007? I dunno! :( I only got the thing yesterday, and I haven't quite decided if I quite like vista, or if I'm going to have to taje the hard drive out & burn it in order to re-install XP!! I have a copy of jeyo mobile companion, and I have my contacts backed up on my XP laptop anyway, so it's not a huge issue. But I would quite like to have my contacts available on my desktop too. Can anyone point me in the right direction? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jimbouk Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Dont know if T supply Outlook - but I think you do need it to sync with WMDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drblow Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Hmm ... anyone else on TMobile? Seems a bit outrageous to stop supplying the necessary app for syncing, since that's a major benefit of Windows Mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mandt Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 You no longer get a copy of Outlook with T-Mo Windows Mail is Vista's Outlook Express equivalent You can use BirdieSync to synchronise with Thunderbird, though never tried it myself. Thunderbird is free, and BirdieSync is only 20 Euros after a free 21 day trial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drblow Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Thanks for the info. Well, thanks T MO for forcing me into having to 'get' a copy of outlook 2007. And then people wonder about software piracy ... I don't know ... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mandt Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yeah that is the obvious answer, but I wasn't going to suggest that :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 What were you using with XP? Outlook 2003 works fine with Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
