Syncing Thunderbird with WM5?

[Guest mjoyeux]

I use Outlook for my Calender and Contacts, but I use Thunderbird for my Email...

Does any one know how I can set it up to sync with my c600? Or am I just going to have to use outlook? ;-)

Is the search facility broken again?

There is no freeware Firebird sync tool, but I seem to recall somebody came up with a commercial app that did some/all of your PIM data

I saw one somewhere recently. I downloaded it at work, but never tried it. Now I cant remember where I saw it :) If I find it again, I will post back. It was freeware, and you needed a calendar plugin for tbird. WHich I also can't find LOL.

Looks like this is only for pocket pc at the moment, but - http://www.birdiesync.com/home.html

Edit:

Version 1.1.0.3 (beta)

It is recommended to install this new version to avoid potential "unresolved items" during event synchronization, especially regarding recurring events.

You can download this new version: BirdieSyncSetup1.1.0.3.exe.

Uninstall previous version (on device and on desktop) before installing this new one.

Since we are close to the final release, please provide feedbacks, whether you have any problems with event synchronization or it works fine.

Thank you.

Changes:

- Smartphone 2003 support

- Smartphone 5.0 support

- Check at installation that mobile security policy is compatible with BirdieSync

- New install logs

Bug corrections:

- Recurring appointments with a modified occurence could lead to "unresolved items"

Could this be it? FinchSync

I only tried it momentarily as a way to be able to sync with data on my Powerbook. It worked... kinda' But I ditched it before ironing out the kinks. IIRC I think it would be better to start with no PIM data on the phone and then allow it to sync over all of you data from Thunderbird, Sunbird, et. al. (I used the "Lightning" extension.) I haven't decided against using it, I may go back to it but for now I'm sticking with using Mail2Web (Exchange) coupled with syncing to a secondary WinXP box I have.

If you do try FinchSync note the workaround for using Sunbird 0.3 data (or Lightning as it uses the same format.)

Note also that this works via TCP/IP so it is great if your phone has built-in WiFi but not so great if you will have to use your phone's data plan.

Given all this mess for not wanting to use Outlook does anyone wonder why I'm deperate for a Google Calendar syncing solution even better if it included Contacts. I tried l-dopa but after slogging through the virtually non-existent docs I ended up with duplicate appointments which were 7 hours ahead. Needless to say my search continues.
