C500 & ActiveSync 3.71

[Guest tonetrainer]

Hi Guys

I am on my 3rd smart fone and have not had this problem. When I connect my C500 to my laptop to sync outlook (2003 or XP) it times out on the "contacts" and just sits there.Its done it on two computers.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? there is about 130 contacts is this too many? I did not have such issues with my E200.

One other issue is that my POP3 mail has stopped working - it simply says "connecting" it did work the first time I set it up but now hangs. I have checked all the settings..they are ok. And whilst I was writing this I got email!

Re contacts sync and ActiveSync 3.7.1

Just had mine synced awhile ago. Around 234 contacts using Jeyo Mobile Companion. :D

Try uninstalling ActiveSync and getting the new version :

Nice one chaps thanks - am trying 3.8 A/s.

I also have now found out there is a problem if you backup to orange and restore back to a C500. So I am trying to get my E200 back online but keep getting network errors with the restore.

Ho Hum I will keep trying!

Ye, I remember seeing a thread here on modaco saying the Orange themselves have actually said restoring E200 > C500 will cause lock-ups etc and is not supported by them :cry:
