I can't use Google's Cloud products. Company policy, and there is still many issues with legal country policies maybe not being upholded. As long as it is not certain that using the Cloud doesn't do anything not legal, we can't use it.

Some appointments had 5 identical entries.
Switched to google calendar instead, took me the sweet time to clear up the calendar though . . . . .

It is very bad. Just today I found out that one of my contacts wasn't sync'ed properly. Very simple setup first name, sirname and phone numbers, but the first name wasn't sync'ed. But as long I haven't found anything better, I have to live with it, which leads me up to....

Can MyPhoneExplorer sync both appointments, contacts and tasks through USB, and do it way better than HTC Sync?

I guess it can. Just tried it, and think we are getting here, but do have some questions, maybe you guys can answer.

1. Is there an easy way to clean out my appointments, as I now got 2 of all, since I did a sync with MyPhoneExplorer?
   
2. The settings under HTC Sync, which should I set them to now? It is set to HTC Sync, but can I change it to eg. charging and still get to functionallity in MyPhoneExplore?
   
3. Should I clean up my contacts, and how do I do this easiest?
   
4. I can't seem to sync notes as it is disabled in MyPhoneExplorer. Why is that?
   
5. If I want to make an appointment on my phone, I can only chose PC Sync, and that is not getting sync to Outlook through MyPhoneExplorer. How should I make appointments on my phone? Is there an app, that make it possibly to make appointments similar to Outlook (appointment/meeting, private/public...)?
   
6. And last, I think, MyPhoneExplorer can't seem to sync tasks. Do you know any good app to do that?

Just solved 3 of the above questions.

[1]Is there an easy way to clean out my appointments, as I now got 2 of all, since I did a sync with MyPhoneExplorer?

I found an remove all button.

[2]The settings under HTC Sync, which should I set them to now? It is set to HTC Sync, but can I change it to eg. charging and still get to functionallity in MyPhoneExplore?

I have changed it to just charge, and it seems to work.

[3]Should I clean up my contacts, and how do I do this easiest?

I also here found a remove all buttton, and then did another sync.

So we are down to these questions

1. I can't seem to sync notes as it is disabled in MyPhoneExplorer. Why is that?
   
2. If I want to make an appointment on my phone, I can only chose PC Sync, and that is not getting sync to Outlook through MyPhoneExplorer. How should I make appointments on my phone? Is there an app, that make it possibly to make appointments similar to Outlook (appointment/meeting, private/public...)?
   
3. And last, I think, MyPhoneExplorer can't seem to sync tasks. Do you know any good app to do that?

Myphoneexplorer is equally BAD. (Rather I would rate it worse than HTC Sync).
The fields like "car", "Radio", "Pager", "Asistant" are still not Sync-ed.
