I'm wondering how to active sync with lotus notes?

I'm intressted in getting my calendar into my diamond, and have the contacts on the computer incase of an accident.

Any good way of making this work?

Activesync won't even sync with windows mail, only with outlook. Even under Linux it was not possible to sync anything.

I know this is not a professional answer - but I think it's a no go...

Upgrade your Lotus Notes server to version 8.0.1 and then utilise Lotus Traveler (which is included with 8.0.1) to sync mail/calendar/contacts, etc, with your phone after installing the Windows mobile Traveler Client...

Not sure what server we have at work, I'm home right now. Will check it out monday. Thanks for the tip captainsensible.

I used mNotes by Commontime for years - it's pretty good software and has been around for ages.

Will it work with lotus notes v 6.5 ?

This is the version we have at work so I guess the traveler client is out of question.

Yes it works with all versions of Notes, they have a free trial too so you can try it out.

sorry, but this is incorrect!
I regularly sync my XDA Diamond with Kontact - the KDE PIM
distribution is OpenSuse 10.3, you need "opensync" and "synce"
the installation is quite a pain and it took me some time to get it right, but it works!

the good thing about opensync is that it is a universal sync tool, once you connect, you should be able to sync with any application a plugin exists for (be it evolution, mozilla, palm, other mobile phones, syncml, ...)

hi if you want remote sync (OTA) you should use Notes Traveler, if you want local sync - you can choose Easysync pro from IBM. http://www-01.ibm.com/software/lotus/products/easysyncpro/
