Sync w/ two Exchange servers

[mitsui-dh]

Hi All !

Sorry for the basic question. I would like to sync my TyTn with two Exchange server.

1. Exchange server in the company

2. Hosted Exchange server

Do you have any idea, how to do that ?

[herman3101]

As far as I know it is impossible at the moment. Activesync only allows one server to be set up. My intuition tells me we will probably never see it as there is only one contact, task, calender and email store in WM5 and having them both syncronised via 2 servers would cause more conflicts then you can shake a big stick at.

Yep, it's a glaring gap in PPC functionality, but it is not possible to sync with two different Exchange servers! :(

Sorry to jump on this thread, but the knowledge may be relevant.

If no exchange server existed, but you have a desktop, a laptop, and TyTN, is there a sync solution for all 3 devices?

You can sync your PPC with two pcs (but only e-mail from one of them).

Everything else can be sync'd between them all.

My MDA Pro is sync'd with an excange server for my e-mail and 2 desktops (home and work) for contacts, calendar, tasks, notes and files.

Could it be possible to link with thew hosted exchange using the built in capability, and then use funambol (with the exchange connector plug-in) to sync with the in house exchange server?

Ive not tried it, but I hold out big hopes for funambol as a synchronising tool for a mixed network solution.

[TiMMah!!!]

I'm also interested in syncing with 2 exchange servers. Maybe a third-party program?

I also have a problem using active sync: I am trying to sync my tytn with an exchange server (email, just for pushmail with mail2web) and with my pc (outlook calendar and contacts). I just can't get it to work. I removed the whole sync pairing with my pc and redid it and then it worked once. After that it keeps on looking for changes and in the end it comes with the error message.

So basically I want to sync one exchange server and my outlook, anyone a solution? I tried it with both AS 4.2 and the 4.5 beta. I use the tytn rom...

Repeat: There is currently NO WAY to sync with two Exchange servers.

I don't believe that's true. It is possible to set up funambol, with multiple servers, and use the funambol clients (one which exists for WM5) to sync with these multiple servers.

If you can justify *why* your statement is true, and why it is applicable in this case, then I would be very interested to hear.

Yes, there IS a way. MSFT has actively closed that loophole with ActiveSync 4.x

But I found a way around. See my post in the activesync newsgroup:

http://groups.google.co.uk/group/microsoft.public.pocketpc.activesync/browse_thread/thread/7e44b0374561f9e3/e25f50cf495e64b8?lnk=st&q=solved+exchange+pocketpc&rnum=3#e25f50cf495e64b8

Ignore the typos in the post (ooops) and enjoy :-)

[goestoeleven]

I have no idea if funambol can help or is relevant, but I can tell you that people have been trying to find a multi-MS Exchange Server sync option for years, and I have NEVER seen a successful solution before...

There are many threads on this forum that will confirm the same...

Believe me, I'd be thrilled to have somebody resolve this, as I also have a personal Exchange server and multiple work Exchange servers!!!

Hi,

My approach: use one exchange server with Visto push mail. The other with exchange activesync directly to the server and it works. Two separate mailboxes too. (this is the main reason why you cannot sync with two exchange servers directly) It works fine for me.

Ton.

Thanks for verifying that way works. This is exactly the approach I was suggesting (but using funambol and exchange connector for the server over which the organisation has control - rather than Visto).

[goestoeleven]

But just to be clear, has anyone found a way to use Exchange ActiveSync with two different servers? (I suspect not)

Dude, you are awesome!!! This is exactly what I needed. Everything works perfectly. Stupid microsoft and their "cross polenation" rules :)

could not really get the method. I want to syn two different mailboxes from the same server in the device. Tell me please the way to do it

[Radimus]

I'd really like 2 OTA exchange connections... but I'll take what I can get.

Acct1: (OTA Home Exchange sync)
email, contacts, calendar, notes, tasks, etc

Acct2: (USB Work Exchange sync)
......, contacts, calendar, notes, tasks, etc

use seven.com to push email from acct2 OWA, acct3, and acct4


I'm currently using Funabmol to sync the 2 exchange setups via outlook...

Thought I would share it as i've been trying to figure out how sync my corporate email & calendar via one activesync server (company) and google contacts via another (the google server). So now I have both personal email (gmail IMAP) and work email (Exchange) and my personal contacts imported into the native contacts list.

Hope someone else finds this useful.

BTW, I also set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\En ableNonLocalCrossPollination to "1" instead of "0".

I also made the registry change, but don't understand how to configure two activesync servers to pull down two calendars. Please help!

what next? there's still no option to add a second server address

[gengt]

I'm interested on this because i want to sync multiple Google calendars and contacts with nuevasync, and the push email with Google Sync (now i sync gmail with imap service).

I've changed the reg value, and followed the steps to configure the extra exchange server, but without success.

I've the 6.5 WM version.

Edit:

Finally i get configure it on my Topaz, changing the @gmail.com in the first configuration step, to avoid the autodetection account, and on the next step i've choose the exchange account, but seems that activesync 4.5 don't support multiple exchange accounts because i get and error every time i connect the topaz to the computer.

[enjoycool]

I changed the registry value, but nope, it does not work.

[rpk-br]

I have used noj193's tip and must say this has been the most valuable piece of information I have found on WM in years.

Now I can receive my Mail2web messages (because Gmail messages support for activesync is lightyears far from a real exchange server in terms of reliability) and still sync contacts and appointments from Google.
