Wow Icevapor, thanks for the tip on Schedule World w/Funambol! Together they are the perfect solution. Makes Google calendar merely an afterthought. Unbelievably simple to implement. I was able to remotely sync both my and hubbys calendar, contacts, tasks and notes. No more bug-ridden ActiveSync! YAY!

For those that are interested, here's the steps:

1) Sign up at Scheduleworld.com. Don't bother fiddling with the settings unless something doesn't work - it's very intuitive.

2) Download and install the Funambol plugin for your phone here: http://www.funambol.com/opensource/downloads.php

3) Use the server settings in your Schedule World Welcome Email to set up your account in the Funambol Account settings on your phone.

4) a) If you use Outlook on your PC, download and install Funambol plugin for Outlook onto your PC, also found here: http://www.funambol.com/opensource/downloads.php
b) If you use Thunderbird on your PC, install Lightning for Thunderbird if you don't already have it, and then download and install the Schedule World plugin for Lightning/Thunderbird here: http://wiki.scheduleworld.com/wiki/index.php/SyncSW

5) Set up all plugins by using the same account settings you received in the welcome email.

6) Set all client plugins to sync every hour/day or so.

7) Test sync all plugins to make sure they are working, and you are done! Everything will autosync, and you can just forget about it.

Dang, is that cool or what???


I don't think I've forgotten anything - but please feel free to add if I did!

Thanks again
Icevapor!
