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 ?

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.

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:

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

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.

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).

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