Hotmail Full Calendar/Contacts and Email Sync Poss...

Question

You can set up hotmail to sync calendar/contacts and email (all folders, just like imap) through the N900 but have to set it up as an "exchange" account.
In the email client add new account and select "exchange" and put in your username and password.  The next page will ask for the server which is m.hotmail.com - leave the domain empty.  Select SSL (which it does by default.)  Then set up your sync parameters. 
This is nice for consumers who don't have a work exchange account that takes care of syncing for you.
If you run Outlook - you can use the Outlook connector to sync your contacts/calendar to Hotmail - which will then sync onto your N900.  This way you won't have to use Ovi or PC Suite to sync...
Just passing along... I searched and found some info on this for other Nokia devices - but nothing for the N900 so I thought I would mention it.

Answer 1

kudos for that, since i upgraded to pr1/2 i've been changing between both google and hotmail, but after pr1.3 i decided to stay with hotmail.
anyways here are the settings to get google account working :
Calendar AND contacts sync settings can be created by:
1st  Open settings menu.
2nd  Open "Email for Exchange" submenu.
3rd  Filling in the fields as:
a. Server: m.google.com
b. Port: 443
c. Secure connection: check yes
d. Conflict resolution: your choice
e. User name:  [email protected]
f. Password: your password
g. Domain: leave blank
h. Synchronize e-mail:  leave unchecked.
i. Synchronize calendar and tasks: check yes.
k. Calendar:  N900 (to populate existing calendar) or create a new one
j. Synchronize calendar back:  your choice
k. Synchronize completed tasks:  your choice
l. Synchronize contacts:  check yes
m. First synchronization: your choice
A note of caution:  For this sync to work your calendar must be empty.  If you have already used the synchronization tool to transfer the calendar data from your old phone to your n900 it will not allow you to write the Google calendar data from the server into it. The n900 calendar will remain as a local, unsynchronized calendar and you must create another calendar for synchronization purposes.  However, I believe this is not the best way to go.  Instead, if you have already transferred your calendar data from your old phone open the n900's calendar, select all, and delete.  Then the Google server will synchronize its data with the N900 calendar.
Reality is wrong....dreams are for real... 2pac .
