Resolved*** How to sync 2 exchange accounts

*radimus* · 07-15-08, 11:35 AM

Like many professionals and ubergeeks

I have 2 exchange accounts, Personal and professional. Using outlook and activesync/WMDC I can sync my calendar/contacts/etc. However, once I configured direct exchange sync (for mobile wireless sync) I lost the ability to sync contacts and calendar and tasks to the second exchange server.

Then I found myFunambol

Which provides a client for outlook (and thunderbird and such) which will sync to their server. They have a WM and iPhone client which will connect your device to their server for syncing.

I installed their Outlook Client on my work and home machines and scheduled 2 way sync on each. With my device already configured to use exchange OTA sync on my personal account, I now have OTA access to synced work and personal exchange accounts.

email access is provided by Seven, which will provide OTA push email from multiple sources

Hi there,

Appreciated finding your mail about the possibilities of Funambol and Exchange. I do have several questions as you seem to be well informed. Is the best to reply here or can I mail/chat with you?

Kind regards and looking forward to feedback

I'm actually trying a different method now...

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\
EnableNonLocalCrossPollination=1

and enabling contacts, calendar and tasks on the second server (configured on the PPC side, not on PC)

Still use Seven.com for email sync

Hello and thanks for your last answer.

I just would like to understand a few things as I am new in Outlook Exchange etc. Can you tell me what the advantage of Funambol is precisely compared to an Exchange server? If it's just the fact that it's free, which other advantages does it have?

Thanks for clarification.

Hello,

You may nothave gotten my last post here. I just looked into Fnmbol again and if i understtttt rrecy itallows synch op a second calendar/contact etc. But it doesn't provide capability to push a second exchange account to the iPhone for example? It's ^like a free version of Exchange without the e-mail push, right?

Kind regards and looking forward to your answer

there is no way to push 2 calendars, etc to one device... what you have to do is have the calendars etc sync between themselves, and then sync the phone to one of them... or do a cabled sync to one and OTA sync the other

Great, but E-mail push for 2 accounts is impossible, right?

And last but not least, do I understand that seven provides push solutions like exchange? I did read their site a bit but can't quite understand! Thanks for some clearing up! Greatly appreciated!

seven provides email push for multiple accounts.

It will also push calendar and contacts for many providers (gmail/yahoo/msn) but that replaces activesync OTA sync. only push/sync for 1 calendar/contacts
