It does sync contacts. But I think its only one way. Like if you update the contact on your hotmail account, i dont think its updated on your pda. But I do know for a fact if you update or add a contact on your pda, it is updated on your hotmail account.

Actually, I haven't received an email either. But of course I believe you.


This sucks!

If you go to the page that used to offer the free service it redirects you to a new one where they offer you a 60 day trial.

I've recently switched to a windows live domain hosted via hotmail with push to my phone. I have my own custom domain (ex mydomain.com) and started using that as my personal email address (ex me@mydomain.com). Since it's a hotmail passport as well, I can use that same email address for messenger, xbox live, msdn, hotmail.com, etc. I sync my email and contacts with outlook (via outlook connector), my touch pro (via windows live for windows mobile) and hotmail.com. For my calender I'm using google sync to sync my phone's calender with google's server, then google calender sync app to sync it with outlook. The result is everything in sync with one email address/signon for me to remember and use forever. No more switching email addresses to and from ISPs, etc.

You should look at www.nuesync.com, I use it for my Google Apps Calendar syncing.

I personally don't want to use seven just because activesync already comes built in win windows mobile. I am biased before even trying it, hehe. I know. :P

I'll try to find another exchange server or something along those lines.

So my question is, since my calendar and contacts are setup on mail2web, how am i supposed to get them over to somewhere else? If I delete mail2web from my phone it removes EVERYTHING.

Sync with outlook, that way you can have a backup on your pc

The day I received the e-mail about the switch I researched my options as far as hotmail, other exchange services and sites that will sync your contacts, calendar, and e-mails.

I decided to go all google, and it is working just as good as mail2web did for me.

Google sync does the Calendar and Contacts using the exchange server feature on the device, then you have to use the imap feature in Gmail to sync your e-mails and set up a new mailbox in messaging on your device. (In Gmail settings when you click imap there is a nice link on how to set up your device.)

It was easy enough to set up and I did not lose anything when I deleted the exchange server from the device. Your contacts, Calendar, and e-mails remain on the device, just make sure on the device you choose to "leave items on the device if there is a change" until all is synced with the new server.

I had been using mail2web as an agreggator for my work e-mail, now I just use google as the aggregator and it works great, and best of all it is free.

Gmail will also send e-mail in html format.

Just be advised when you delete an e-mail on your device the Gmail server creates a new label called "Deleted" so that you do not see it on the device, but still have it on the server and with the label it is easy enough to either create a rule to immediately delete it or to do it manually later.

Hope this helped.

I set up my Gmail account when Gmail first came out... I never really used it. Kind of just sat there. Went there today to set it up and found over 3K spam emails in my inbox. Is there a way to get this email cleaned up for use?
