Florisz: How To Sync Windows Mobile With Multiple Exchange Servers

Thank you so much! I finally got it to work!
I really wanted 2 exchange account on my Samsung SGH-i600 with update WM 6.5 for a long time(just as my colleagues with their Iphones)
Now Microsoft ceases MyPhone, I really need a good alternative to backup.

I did it as following: (no need for 3rd party like NuevaSync)
- Start from scratch (Yes, you really have to delete all existing email accounts and exchange bindings) All my contacts and calendar items were gone after this, so backup is really necessary! (I used the MyPhone backup. Restore works as long as you don't have any ActiveSync setup on an item like contacts or calendar.)
- Set the settings as above in registry
- Setup ActiveSync with Gmail.
server: m.google.com
sync only: contact and calendar
- Make new email account via email account wizard and choose 'exchange' as provider
- I set checkmarks for: email and tasks only. (I don't want my personal contacts in my business exchange account.)
- Add another email account for my Gmail account through the 'add email account wizard'(this is an imap4)

I still have my business calendar Items in my phone, because I always accept appointments through email on my phone.

Thank you again.

p.s. The only possible drawback is that the sync schedule of both accounts is the same. (there is only 1 setting for it in ActiveSync)

Here's how I would try it:

1. Set up your Google exchange with NuevaSync as shown...do not enable your gmail yet

2. Set up your MS Exchange server with email

3. Set up a POP3 server with your gmail info, which can be found under the Settings section in Gmail.

That should allow you to get your Google Calendar, Contacts etc, your work email (or whatever email's on the other exchange server, and your Gmail all in Windows Mobile

Edit: I no longer have a Windows Mobile phone so I can't really experiment myself. But I'm thinking this should work...

so if I want to set up 2 exchange accounts so I can see mail on both and I want to SYNC my main exchange accounts appointments and contacts to my other server (specifically GOOGLE MAIL) as a backup, I guess I cant.. I set up gmail using the GMAIL selection when you go to set up mail. it made it IMAP...

Dave,

As far as I'm aware, this error occurs if you enable email on the first exchange server. They only allow one mail exchange server, and once that is set up, you can't set up any other exchanges. I hope this helps!

Be clear on what you expect from your collaboration. Make sure to be let prospective band mates on what you are you looking for, a musician only or a writing partner and co-creative force.

I'd add that looking within existing bands is a must. Many musicians are willing to or do play in more than one band. Seeing someone onstage already in a band is the best way to judge their musicianship and stage presence. If they jump ship too quickly from the band you found them playing with, be wary as they may do the same to you. Yes chemistry is everything. If you want longevity as a band, have a clear vision that you all share and you must have trust, respect and an ability to work through creative differences.

Very good advice! A LOT of people skip this step. All good points, but I think your first and last ones are my favorites. You have got to be on the same page in terms of the "end game" when you form a band. If you're thinking "I hope we can book a three week tour" and your bandmate is thinking "I am going to have to cancel practice tonight so I can work late", you're going to have a problem. Like you said, there is nothing wrong with either approach, but everyone in the band needs to be on the same page on what exactly the band is going to try to accomplish.

And yes! Definitely decide who is in charge of what! As you say, this can help you figure out what to look for in a band member (besides, you know, musical ability of course). This step is also really important if the band is going to be handling book, promotion, etc in-house. It is helpful for all of the people who need to communicate with the band to have one point of contact. It is less confusing for them and it helps stop things from slipping through the cracks on the band's end ("But I thought you were going to confirm that show!").

Great advice, Ryan!
