Versamail Exchange ActiveSync wireless push e-mail ONLY; Sync Contacts/Calendar via Desktop/USB

I use a 3rd party conduit, PalmPilot Link for Commence RM CRM software from Commence Corp. which works with the Palm Desktop sync engine to sync my Contacts, Calendar, Tasks and Memos. Recently I tested VersaMail 3.5.5 on my Rogers Treo 680 (despite zero support from Rogers) with push e-mail and loved it until I discovered I could no longer sync my Contacts and Calendar with Commence. Even with the options in VersaMail to sync Contacts and the Calendar unchecked they would not sync via the USB cable to Commence.
I have come across Palm Article ID: 42600 which states "Once you establish an Exchange ActiveSync account in VersaMail, you will not be able to sync Calendar, Contacts or Email through the USB HotSync cable". It would be nice if this wasn't the case when synching of Contacts and the Calendar are turned off. A call to technical support confirmed there is no way to do what I need with the current product version.
I have found a competitive product, RoadSync from DataViz does allow me to sync ONLY e-mail with ActiveSync so it would seem to be technically possible. The problem with RoadSync is it's not a true push e-mail on the Treo 680 as far as I can tell and it seems a little pricey with fewer features than VersaMail, except for one feature which is very important to anyone who depends on 3rd party conduits.
Please consider releasing a new version or a patch to allow synching Contacts and the Calendar via USB while using Exchange ActiveSync push e-mail.
Note: The Commence CRM product for Windows has been around for almost 20 years and has supported the Palm OS for about 10 years. Commence users everywhere would love this feature in VersaMail. I do not work for Commence Corp. but have been a user since 1991 and a Palm user since 1999.

Verizon 755p; using Versamail; cant sync contacts & calendar

I am having a sync conflict....
I HAD been able to sync Contacts & Calendar via USB but once I started using Treo for emails, have been unable to sync ever since. Very frustrating. Hours upon hours trying to figure it out.
Went to advanced settings in Wireless Sync (to "Enable other sync apps") but still can't sync to Palm Desktop. I am using Versamail for my two gmail accounts. No need to use Wireless Sync.. Can I just delete WS?
Any suggestions please?

Hello tweetie and welcome to the Palm forums.
Did you check the Verizon Wireless Sync software for settings that disable wired sync support? I have a Sprint Treo and I can't test this out for you. Other posters have reported similar issues and the Wireless Sync software settings are sometimes the cause for the inability to perform a wired sync of calendar and contacts.

Can I exclude photos on my iPhone from being sent to iCloud and how? My goal is to only sync my calendar to the iCloud and exclude everything else. This way I don't have to pay for more space.

My goal is to only sync my calendar to iCloud and exclude everything else. This way I don't have to pay for more space.

Hey Murphie,
I don't pay for more space and I'm backing up two devices to iCloud, a 32G ipad and a 16G phone.
However, you can merely chose NOT to backup to iCloud. Then you won't run out of space. Items synced to iCloud do not take up your backup space.
Now, you WILL have to back up to your computer via iTunes the old fashioned way, or risk losing valuable data. Your choice.
However, if you manage your data responsibility, you won't run out of your 5G of storage on your iCloud backup from normal use.
Good luck

How to transfer SMS and Call History from Iphone 5 to Iphone 6 plus? Only the contacts, calendar, safari bookmarks and notes have synced.

Hi! Please help. I have synced my IPhone 5 to Itunes. When I try to sync it to Iphone 6 plus, only the contacts, calendar, safari bookmarks and notes have synced to the latest date. The rest like SMS and Call History have only synced to June 2013.

I upgraded from an iPhone 4S to iPhone 6 Plus, I don't like to run iTunes, and iCloud backup is not so reliable, I think. Then I searched on the Internet, and some articles told me that I can directly transfer data from Phone to iPhone with some tools.
I doubt it first, then I gave a shot on one of them for the free trial. I follow the steps to transfer about 200 sms from my 4S to 6 Plus, and it works!
Got this from here: http://www.cultofmac.com/296711/transfer-data-new-iphone-6-imazing/
Hope this helps!

Syncing Contacts/Calendar Only

Hello
I just received the new 6 Plus and want to set up as new, instead from back up.
Is there a way to only restore contacts and calendar ? Or do i need to manually reinstall all my contacts and calendar info.
Thank you

If you synced your contacts and calendar to iCloud you can set up your new phone as new and then go to Settings > iCloud and turn on Contacts and Calendars to sync.
If you synced them to your computer via iTunes, the following may help: iTunes 11 for Windows: Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad
If you only have a backup to iTunes or iCloud, the restore from those backups is all or nothing.

Can I opt to only sync iPhone 4 via iTunes and NOT iCloud?

I only use the iCal, Contacts, and Mail parts of MobileMe. I sync all three via iTunes. I don't need to worry about any web storage or gallery or other stuff.
Because my MacBookPro is early 2008, I'm leery of upgrading to Lion, even though it's needed for iCloud. I don't want to deal with the decreased battery life or any downgrade in speed. My iPhone 4 is running the most current iOS.
If I don't upgrade to Lion, I accept that I can't migrate to iCloud via my MacBookPro.
Here are my questions:
1. If I don't physically initiate a migration to iCloud, will my .me/.mac mail accounts disappear or will I still be able to get my mail as usual using the mail apps on my MacBookPro and iPhone 4? Will I have to change any of the imap server settings after June 30?
2. For my contacts and iCal, will I be able to continue to sync to my iPhone 4 via iTunes, so that I can pretend iCloud doesn't exist? I realize any calendar/contacts changes wouldn't be immediately seen across all devices, but I don't need them to be--changes can wait until my next iTunes sync.
3. If I don't make any changes, will I be able to set up my iCloud stuff at a later date, after MobileMe is history?
4. If I simply MUST initiate a move to iCloud to "reserve my space" or whatever, is it something I could do via my iPhone or even on a newer computer at the Apple Store?
Basically, can I keep doing what I'm doing, postpone a Lion upgrade for now and ignore the move to iCloud, or will I break the internet?
Thank you in advance.

Yes - deselect them before you sync.
I'm assuming that you auto sync so if you do sync that way - go ahead and sync your iPad again. But don't disconnect the iPad yet. After the sync completes - click on the iPad name on the left side of iTunes - then click on the apps tab on the right. Uncheck all of the iPhones apps under the list of apps to deselect them. When you have all of those apps deselected - click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes. This will remove them from the iPad and iTunes will remember this the next time that you sync.

My iTunes only syncs my calendar and contacts on the second sync, why?

When I sync my Outlook Calendar and Contacts with iTunes, I noticed the first sync does the backup but doesn't sync the calendar and contacts. I need to click sync a second time and then it syncs my calendar and contacts. How do I set it up where it syncs everything including cal/contacts on the first sync?
Second Question: From when I had MM, I noticed it shows Work, Home, and Calendar under my Calendar. I want to consolidate and only have Calendar. Is there a way to consolidate all 3 and delete Home and Work?

Why are you running Mobile Me? calendars and contacts are no longer available there, your Hotmail address may be OK for an Apple ID but wion't work for email in iCloud,
Outlook is dreadful anyhow, use emClient for iCloud.

MS Exchange ActiveSync not pushing!

Hey all, my exchange mail won't push new messages. It was working fine and all of a sudden stopping pushing. I've had this problem for many months now, starting with my 3GS. I've since upgraded to 4 and the issue persists. Colleagues with iPhones are able to receive their mail from the same server (Exchange 2003), so I don't think it's an IT problem. All settings are set to "push," and I've deleted and readded the account, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Any help?

It's not just you!
When I upgraded from 3 to OS4 on my 3GS, everything was perfect. I then switched to me new iPhone 4. Email worked perfect for a few days but looks like its been down all weekend. My Exchange is hosted directly with Microsoft Online Services. I called them and they have no suggestions...

EAS only sync's calendar on creation of new EAS account.

We run our mail server remotely. It is a Zimbra system which is supposed to be Activesync compatible (5.0.18_GA_3009 NE w/mobile sync option). And, I have seen from several posts that there are people successfully syncing with Zimbra. I am able to connect to the server and email syncs fine. The calendar will sync on the initial sync but, nothing after that.
contacts indicate that there are only 50 in the account when there are close to 1000.
What am I missing?

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Not sure why this was marked solved when it was because it wasn't. It is now solved:
Today is a special day!!! I finally solved the mystery thanks to many of the posts on this sites and others. The solution:
I was waiting for my corporate IT group to solve why my calendar account in Zimbra still showed a size of 10M when the cursor was held over the folder, thinking tthis was related to my problems, when I decided to see if I could get contacts to do something...I had read a post that said exporting outlook folder to pst files, deleting them, removing the eas acct, reinstalling eas on Pre, and importing pst had worked for a few. So, I did this.
In addition, I thought as long as I am removing accounts, I would remove Chapura PocketMirror accounts. The Pre had a really hard time deleting and resolving this. I had to delete the application and do a hard reset of the Pre.
After reinstalling the eas account, test items started syncing. I then imported pst files into contacts and calendar and all is well.
(zimbra calendar still says 10M, but it appears to not affect anything)
THANKS TO ALL THAT CONTRIBUTED!!!!!

Calendar event entered on iPhone only syncs to imac via iCloud if I quit Calendar program and reopen.

I am new to support community. Was unable to get answer from Genius Bar. Did not have this problem initially (2 weeks ago) but not it has changed.

I have a quick follow up, if you don't mind. I tunred on iCloud for my calendar on the iPhone. Now it seems that if I enter a new item into my calendar thru the iPhone, I hvae to choose which calendar I want it to show up on - the PC calendar or the iCloud calendar.
If I chose the PC calendar when I sync with iTunes, it will sync with Outlook and show up there. But it won't show in the iCloud calendar, and thus not show on my iPad. If I choose to use the iClould calendar with the new entry, it will show up on iCloud but not in Outlook after I sync with iTunes.
There does not appear a way to have a new entry on my phone go to both calendars, thus having one sync with the iClould calander (and thus my iPad) and the other with my PC calendar (thus showing up in Outlook). Sort of defeats the purpose, it seems. If I cold choose both calendars in the edit field of the iPhone, that would seem to solve the issue.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks again for all your input.
Yes, iCloud and Outlooks local calendar are 2 different calendars, use 1 only (and if you want to see it on both devices) use the iCloud calendar. Outlooks local calendar is just that, local.

Sync only selected contact groups via Bluetooth to Mercedes Benz

Hi
I understand that it is possible to create "groups" of contacts in the address book program on my MacBook Pro and then choose to sync either all or just selected groups to my iphone.
If I do sync all of these groups to my iphone (which I want) is it then possible to sync only "one" group (just the essential numbers) to my Mercedes via bluetooth?
Thanks
Gregg

I am wondering the same thing.
I have the iPhone and a Mercedes Benz, with the Bluetooth v60 Puck. The car will only receive 100 contacts but I have no way of knowing which 100 will be uploaded.
If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

Office 365 Exchange ActiveSync Autodiscovery & iPad

Hi All,
The story:
We have configured Hybrid coexistence of our local exchnage server and office 365.
We are experiencing the problem with the configuring office 365 account using exchange activesync autodiscovery settings on the iPads and iPhones.
Outlook desktop clients are able to locate the settings automatically.
Only device which can locate servername and settings automatically using actiesync autodiscover is Windows Phone Device.
Per Microsoft:
Certain mobile device that won't autoconfigure this problem occurs if the mobile device does not fully support certain Exchange ActiveSync protocol requirements for redirection. Since we are not the provider of the OS for these devices we apologize as we cannot troubleshoot beyond the information provided to configure mobile devices.
This is a problem for us. Because if we want to migrate user's mailbox to cloud and he has configured the ActiveSync account after migration he need to reconfigure his active sync profile on his mobile device.
Can someone confirm that iOs devices might not fully support certain Exchange ActiveSync protocol requirements from Microsoft for redirection?

2-way relationship when using exchange activesync?

We are setting MS Exchange Activesync to push out email, contacts, calendar to our "pilot" iPhone. My question is, is this a two way relationship? Meaning if we delete an message in Outlook will it be deleted from the iPhone. Conversely, if we delete a message from the iPhone will it be deleted from Outlook?
Thanks for you help.

The difference between the Blackberry Software is that you have the option to allow your PDA not to delete your emails off your desktop or to. I was told by our IT department that Activesync does not provide this option. Which is stupid because they should provide you that option.

In MS Exchange, if I turn off mail, does it delete all of those emails from the device, within that Account?

Hi,
I'm currently experiencing difficulties with linked my iphone with MS Exchange for email.
Within my MS Exchange account, I want to deactivate my mail, but keep Contacts, Calendar etc. My question is, if I was to switch mail off, does this delete all of the emails from my iPhone or just stop displaying them? What is the impact of this?
The reason being is that I have a few thousand emails, which takes a long time to transfer and this is something that I may wish to re-activate in the future.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :-)
Thanks in advance,
Rich

Just uncheck mail and the contacts/calendars will be fine. Only mail will be removed.
