Lack of email sync with Outlook may result in returned BB Classic

Our company president (who is responsible for 15 companies worldwide) recently got a BB Classic and we were extremely disappointed to find a lack of either an "auto-bcc on send" option or a way to sync her email in the hub to Outlook 2013.
I was led by tech support to believe that Blend would do this, but all it does is provide a mirror of the hub on the PC. This is all well and good if the user wishes to remain only inside the BB ecosystem. Unfortunately, a lot of businesses center their email ecosystem around Outlook, and those in management want to have their sent messages available to them in both places.
Why has RIM seemingly dropped such functionality from BB10 when iPhones and Androids have these functions right out of the box? This seems like a blunder of epic proportions given that RIM was on the verge of irrelevance not so long ago. Taking away features that business people rely upon is no way to win back would-be converts to other platforms.
And with RIM not allowing third-party email solutions on Blackberry World, there's no option to replace BB Mail with something that adds those features missing from BB Mail. I realize this is because of a focus on high security email, but if the user isn't utilizing that function why force the user to use an email client that doesn't meet their needs?
Taking features away from users is a good way to ensure users go elsewhere and don't return. And with RIM's situation in the market lately, this doesn't bode well for the "comeback" they're hoping for.
I know this is mostly a user-supported forum, but I'm hoping someone at RIM will see this and perhaps take heed of it.

Active Sync exists for such a reason. I don't understand why people think they need to connect their phones physically to make the synchronizations. Most premium mail servers support active sync. Set it up on the phone and it will sync all data automaticaly. Also this auto BCC I never understood why people cry so much about it. I have set in my office an Axigen mail server and use my phone via IMAP. I see all folders and emails in realtime push. When I send an email from my BlackBerry without even BCC I see it on my pc under the send folder and viceversa. I think people are used doing things the long way around and can't accept that things can be done easier today!
Good luck with your new endeavour me totally loving the Classic.

Email sync with outlook 2007

Hi Everyone, I would like some help sync my email with outlook 2007. I am a new user and don't know whether this is possible so please forgive for the ingnorance.
Also i wanted to know that other than email what else are the powerful tools of the blackberry

Hello Ljo,
Thank you for your question regarding synchronizing your BlackBerry smartphone Calendar and Microsoft Outlook.
Which BlackBerry model and version of BlackBerry Device Software are you running on it? http://bbry.lv/iubM23
When more than one calendar exists on your BlackBerry smartphone, one calendar is set as the default. To confirm which calendar is set to default, click the Options icon from the Home screen and select Advanced Options > Default Services.
Note: For BlackBerry 6, click the Options icon and select Device > Advanced System Settings > Default Services.
Make sure that the default Calendar is the one that you are adding the new entries on.
If this is the case, please contact your mobile service provider and request that they contact BlackBerry on your behalf.
Thank you.

Email Sync with Outlook

Is there any program which will sync my email on my E2 with Outlook 2007? I would like the sync to occur each time that I do a hotsync.
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

Yes, I have checked the Palm support page and the software that came with the E2. Palm provides an application called Versamail but it does not work with Outlook, it is intended for going on the web and download email.
Also, I do not understand your comment "post in forums, PMs for personalized help are not community oriented and will not be responded to". Did I not post this in a forum for the appropriate item?

I tried to add a contact on the contact menu, but the result like restart ... (but not restart the device, not just stored). I am confused about this issue ... please help ..
thank you in advance.

Your suggestion worked perfectly. I can't believe there is nothing in any of the instructions I have seen online at the Yahoo and Apple help sites about the making sure the right default account is checked. I don't think I was even aware there was a "default account" setting. Thank you so much.

Have tried to install icloud 4.0 for windows and again it does not allow syncing with outlook 2013 calendar and contact using windows 8.1 and IOS 8.02 (unexpected error)? I thought itunes 12.0 and icloud 4.0 would solve issue but still same result.

I use iCal, work wants me to sync with Outlook, how do I do this?

Dear Community.
I'm happily using iCloud to run my diary across all my Apple devices, how do I get my current setup to sync with Outlook so my office can see my diary?
I don't want to change how I make appt's, I can make an appt on my phone, iPad or MacBook and it'll sync nicely, I just need to be able to share one specific Work diary in my iCloud/ Apple account with Outlook. I use Outlook on my MacBook for email only, I have no interest in using the calendar function other than to keep it synced to allow my colleagues to access it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's bad enough that people want to be able to track my daily schedules, without having to spend hours trying to figure out how to keep the system I have for diary management and not have to move everything just to placate someone.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Crackyrich,
I may have a possible solution for you. Since you have everything set up in iCloud, have you tried the Calendar sharing feature? You can create a work calendar to keep it separate from your personal calendar, and share the work calendar privately or publicly. Here's how:
iCloud: Calendar sharing overview
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2689
You can share a calendar both publicly and privately with other people. Sharing gives you flexibility in managing calendars. For example, you could create a calendar for your child’s sports team and share it privately with just the coaches so they can edit it. You could also share it publicly with all the parents so they can view (but not change) it whenever they want.
Sharing works as follows:
Public calendars can be shared with anyone. To access public calendars, visitors need to use Calendar on a Mac, Microsoft Outlook on a Windows computer, or any other app that supports the iCalendar file format.
A public calendar can’t be edited by anyone but the calendar owner (the creator).
Private calendars can be shared with other iCloud users.
Participants can view the calendar using iCloud Calendar; the Calendar app on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or a Mac; or Microsoft Outlook on a Windows computer.
As the owner (creator) of a shared calendar, you assign edit privileges to the invitees to control who can modify the calendar. There are two types of access privileges that can be assigned:
Participants with View Only access can:
View the calendar and change their view (from day to week, for example), without affecting the view of other participants
Change their own calendar preferences
Participants with View & Edit access privileges can do everything listed above, plus:
Create and delete calendar events
Change details (for example, the name, date, and time) for calendar events
Track the responses of guests invited to a calendar event
Participants can’t invite new people to a shared calendar.
Note:    If multiple participants try to edit a shared calendar at the same time, the changes that are saved first are kept and reflected in the calendar. The person whose changes arenʼt saved sees a message that his or her changes werenʼt saved.
If you disable your iCloud account, any shared calendars you created become unavailable; all participants automatically receive an email notifying them that the calendar is no longer shared.

iCloud: Share a calendar with others
You can share a calendar both publicly and privately with other people. For specifics about viewing and editing privileges for shared calendars, and how participants can access the calendars, see Calendar sharing overview.
Share a calendar privately
Click the Share button to the right of the calendar name in the sidebar, then select Private Calendar.
Note:    You can also share the same calendar publicly. For instructions, see the next task, “Share a calendar publicly.”
Type the invitee’s email address in the Add Person field and press Return.
Click the pop-up menu with the invitee’s name and choose access privileges (View & Edit or View Only).
For each person you want to share the calendar with, repeat steps 2 and 3.
When you’ve invited everyone and set their privileges, click OK.
Invitation emails are sent from your iCloud email address to the participants you specified.
Share a calendar publicly
Click the Share button to the right of the calendar you want to share, then select Public Calendar.
Note:    You can also share the same calendar privately. For instructions, see the previous task, “Share a calendar privately.”
To invite people to view the calendar, click Email Link.
Type one or more email addresses in the To field, then click Send.
The people you specify automatically receive an invitation email that includes the calendar’s URL. An invitee doesn’t need to be an iCloud user to accept an invitation to view a shared public calendar.
In the sidebar, a shared calendar has a dark Share button.
You can also resend invitations to one or more invited participants at any time.

Palm Treo no longer syncs with Outlook 2007 calendar

Foolishly I upgarded to Office 2010 not realising that my Palm won't sync with Outlook 2010. I reverted back to Office 2007 but now my Treo won't sync with the calendar. All else appears okay. I get the following message:
This handheld is associated with a differentprofile. To synchronize with that profile, close Outlook and synchronize again. To use this device with current Outlook profile, open the Hotsync custom dialogue and change the conduit settings to use this Outlook profile. See the Oultlook conduit help for details.
The conduit settings only allow me to change which over-writes which - computer or Treo. When I chnage to get the computer to over-write (as this is where my up-to-date info is, the same message appears. I going to get an iPhone soon if I can't get help. This is crazy.
Someone out there help...please.
Post relates to: Treo 680 (Unlocked GSM)

If I understand correctly, then the old Outlook 2003 is no longer available to you. If that's the case, then all of your information should have been taken from your local outlook 2003 and put into the new outlook 2007 exchange. The only way you can sync with exchange is by using EAS. You will need the server address, domain name, and the username/password you use to log into outlook. I expect you may not have some of this information, which is where your IT department will be able to fill in the blanks. You won't need to use the Treo for email, but now that outlook 2003 is gone, that isn't an option for your contacts/calendar/notes anymore. When setting up the EAS on your device, it will ask what you want to sync, and you can select/deselect the options you prefer.
Hope this clarifies things a little bit.

Problems with Sync with Outlook contacts and calendar (Office 2007)

I have been able to set up my Blackberry curve with email accounts, but sync with Outlook contacts fails. My device will show as connected, but nothing happens. I continue to get a message if I want to use Mass Storage mode on my phone and I assume this should be checked as yes, then I get a folder showing up on my desktop with "Removable Disk (E, which contains several files.
When Desktop Manager is opened I get message "Initial Plugin: Verifying Applications" "checking the status of the applications on the device. This is only required on the first connection of the device to a new desktop installation" It shows in the same dialog box "connecting to the device (JVM)...
The connection hangs and nothing happens. I have reinstalled software and was even told by Verizon Support to exchange the phone (which I did), but the same issue of non-connection for sync is still there.
Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated.

iTunes thread found that sync issue was caused by reoccuring appointments,
Basically you need to modify the reoccuring appointments (and may require to add an end date as this was how the guy made a modification) and then re-sync.

Sync with outlook, (notes)

I have a Treo650 and planning to get a 16GB iphone.
(A)
I use the "find" search in the treo a lot (searches contacts, to do, notes for any word I type). Does the iphone phone have this capability ? (or a third party application ?)
(B)
Does iphone sync with outlook, contacts, to do list and notes ?
Someone mentioned the notes may be a problem ? I use these intensively in my Treo, and outlook.
The answers to these questions will make by decision to get the iphone or not.

Thanks for your valuable advise.
Most of the features of iphones, example interface & email browser are exceptional !...
What about the note "talking", how long get these be, can a lecturer be recorded on the iphone ?
I was told the iphone can not copy & paste as well ?? (May be via evernote can ??)
If the following could be rectified, it would be unbeatable...
*The cons are:*
Means I will have to install the software at home & at the office for sync. (evernote)
Its a shame the search is only available on the contacts and with the names.
It would have been perfect if it available as a search field, (can be any characters), and searches emails, contacts, notes,
sms's. etc. (available in Palm, and Black berry & possibly windows mobile)

HT4191 Since 'upgrading' to ios6 notes no longer sync with outlook

Why does Apple always make life harder everytime I let them upgrade IOS? Why don't I trust my intuition and stick with the IOS I've got used to? It took me a while to discover that Notes on iphones are associated for an inexplicable reason to an email account and that it defaulted to my gmail account. I then set it to default (for new notes) to an account called 'on my iphone'. Magically IOS 5 synced these notes to my Outlook. Perfect. I 'upgrade' to IOS 6 and Notes 'on my iphone' no longer sync with Outlook (quite apart from now finding the new itunes a nightmare to use).

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Address book will not sync with outlook

I have a bb curve 8530. My desktop PC runs windows 7 and Outlook. The address book will not sync with outlook. The calendar function, however, will sync with outlook. The error messages are:
"Runtime error: unable to locate application in system table. The product may not be installed properly; run the installer and choose repair."
Or, "Intellisyncy error encountered 0x8004fff."
or, "unable to complete synchronization."
I have pulled out the battery of the 8530 to try a hard reset. I have reloaded on my PC the latest software from the BB website. I have reset and configured synchronization settings multiple times in every possible order. I have deleted from my outlook contacts any large files. I do not know what the installer the error message refers to.
Thanks, David

you cant reset your PIN, it is hardcoded into the BB
where is your PIN missing?
when it syncs the calendar, does it look like it syncs but nothing actually happens, no errors?
or does it crash with an error?
on your BB go to options- advanced options- default services
make sure facebook is not set for CICAL

Curve 9320 does not sync with outlook 2010

Well, I've seen some posts about this issue, yet, not found much in the way of solutions.
I have a curve 9320, oldie but goodie. I also have Outlook 2010 on this Win 7 Pro computer.
The BB desktop software is v.7.1 bundle 2814.
Now, when I ask the BB desktop to sync with outlook it gives me one choice under config - Outlook profile. that seems to make sense, I only have 1 profile in Outook.
I ask it to sync,and the progress bar moves along, the task completes and it says sync complete. And yet, nothing in the contacts, or calendar on either side has changed. It says there are changes, but I can't see them on the outlook calendar or contacts.
I read in one post that having a blank email field might mess up the sync with the contacts, but could that compromise the calendar sync as well? I set the BB desktop to only sync the calendar, and still no changes.
Any thoughts and ideas would be appreciated.
Or should I just grin and bear it until I can get the classic....
thanks
Matthew

OH Crap, I just purchased one today and all my contacts, scheduling etc, are in Outlook. A friend told me to stick with HTC I should have listened. I guess I've got time to take it back since it's only 10 hours old.

Sync with outlook - errors

Operating system:
Microsoft Windows XP
Build 2600
Service Pack 2
Nokia PC Suite:
Version 6.83.14.1
Language: English
Does anyone know the best way to reset sync with outlook?
The problem seems to be that there is a missmatch between phone and outlook in terms of what has been updated.
I think this may be something to do with the fact that I have had 3 phones (Nokia N70, Motorolla and now another Nokia 6500 Classic)
I have tried uninstalling Nokia pc suite but it retains information about my previous phone when I reinstall it.
What this means is that if I sync I get multiple entries in my phone.
I have also tried moving all contacts to a new folder in outlook and syncing from phone to PC but only one item is transferred.
Any advice would be great thx.

Sync with Outlook ONLY for a specific date range

I have a Zire 31 that I'm syncing with Outlook via latest Palm Desktop/HotSync. I did just install the latest conduit.
I was getting several repeating calendar entries that were not syncing with the Zire (annual birthdays, etc.) - turns out that they did not have an "end-date" specified when created in Outlook. Creating an end-date solved the problem.
However - I would like to know if it is possible to specify a certain date range for the device to sync (e.g., sync calendar only for years 2007 through 2050, or in other words sync from 1 year ago to 50 years in future, etc...)
I recall specifying this once years ago, but I may have been using a third party to sync with Lotus Notes at the time. I'm wondering if this option is also available with syncing directly with Outlook using HotSync??? I can't imagine it's not, but I can't find where you specify it.
One more interesting note: while my Zire 31 had issues syncing those repeating calendar entries - my much older HandSpring Visor Deluxe syncs them no problem! Go figure.
Thanks much -
Post relates to: Zire 31

I'm not actually looking to purge old items.
Rather - I would like to ONLY sync calendar entries between a specified range of dates. For example - ONLY sync for calendar entries between Jan 1 2007 and Jan 1, 2050.
the problem is that I have some repeating entries (birthdays, etc.) that are set up in Outlook with no end date. Apparently Palm/HotSync is having trouble syncing these (they don't show up at all - for any year.)
One resolution is to apply an end-date for each repeating calendar entry. However, this is just another step my wife needs to remember to do. If you happen to forget to to this, then Hotsync will ignore that entry. Fine if you realize that's happening, but if you forget and forget to check - you won't even know it didn't sync!
The other possible resolution is to only have HotSync sync for a SPECIFIC date range - one that does not presumably go to infinity. That is my question - how does one sync ONLY for a specific date range. Has nothing to do with purging old entries.
Thanks!!

IPhone 4 (iOS5) not syncing with outlook 2010 calendar

Hi Guys,
My iPhone 4 has been working great for the last few months up until recently. I have been able to sync with outlook 2010 for both my contacts and calendar using iTunes sync in the past with no problems.. I went to conference last week and got back in the office sync’d yesterday. Things are not right. My contacts sync, but calendar does not sync either way (phone to PC - PC to phone). I upgraded to iOS5 and reloaded iTunes and I'm having the same problem. I also noticed that my sync is taking much, much longer (like there is a conflict somewhere.) The contacts still sync, but no new/changed calendar entries. Anyone have this problem and have any ideas how do I can fix it? Is it a simple setting switch on the iPhone or iTunes? It's getting very frustrating!! One of my office mates has been taunting me with his android phone and I’m starting to feel like I might have to do something drastic to get my calendar back on my phone…
Outlook version is MS Pro Plus 2010 - 14.0.5128.5000 (64-bit)
iTunes version is 10.5.0.142
iPhone version is 5.0 (9A334)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey, man. Sorry I have no solution, but it may not hurt to know you are not the only one.
I uprgraded a 3GS to iOS 5, set it up to sync with iCloud initially, and then switched back to sync with PC as before. It seems that my calendar was syncing at first, but within a few days it just stopped.
I also recall a ton of weird "sync conflicts" that I had to resolve, even though the iTunes conflict reslover showed information that was identical in Outlook and iPhone calendar.
Notes and contacts sync just fine with Outlook 2003 under Windows Vista for me, but calendar will not sync at all any more, either direction.
I have tried most of the suggestions, including restoring iPhone and creating a whole new user account in Windows and tried syncing iPhone and Outlook via iTunes that way (and both USB and wifi). I did not seem to have any better success.
This is a disaster. So far I have just been using Notes to MANUALLY sync calendar info between devices.
I have never given nearly as much thought to Android as I have lately.
It may be time to call Apple Support, but my previous experiences with them (and the "Geniuses" at the store) were underwhelming.
