wooo! go go gadget syncml. :)

Nexthaus™ is teh win! (y) Followed the instructions and Voila! Perfect sync.
Goodbye PocketMac™ Thanks to rivvie for directions and LH for reposting :smile: |
So wait a second - let me get this straight.
If I buy the Nexthaus plug-in for Outlook and set up mobical, I can wirelessly (and automagically!) sync to mobical, which I can then sync wirelessly (and automagically again!) to my BB using the BB plugin, right? I'm asking because we're not a BES shop, and this would be a great thing as I have a couple of calendars that I'd like to manage. 8-) cheers rivviepop. |

You may wish to investigate running your *own* SyncML server in the office to have completel control of your business environment. Just start by searching Google for "SyncML Server" and you get ... 912,000 hits. :) (*) I'm not saying they will, I like Mobical a lot and in email exchanges they've always been great. But, one must always be prepared for the worst. |
(deleted double post, BBF was having issues for a moment it seems.)

Yes Mobical rocks! I had a password issue and for it being a free service, they responded faster than other places that I pay to use...... They ROCK!

Rivvie or LH,
Either of you know how to comletely ERASE the contents of the default calendar on Mobical? I've got some weird dupes and odd behaviour going on, and I can't find anything on Mobical's site covering Nuke 'n Pave operations on the Calendar. Thanks in advance either way. (y) |

== snip == Martin Källström Europe/Minsk Re: Reset Calendar go to calendar view and click to you view them in a long list. then click the select all button and then delete. == snip == I just looked, and what he means is "My Appointments" on the right hand side where you normally have it on day/week/month. I never knew that was there myself. :) |

Their search is odd. I used "erase entire calendar" and "erase calendar" and received nothing.
Anyway, Mark also replied with this..same thing you found. Amazing support for a free service! ========== From Martin at Mobical..... Go to calendar view, to the right you can choose select view. Mark my appointments, and in the grey field above Show per page, select all. Then click on the select all button just above the first appointments check box. After that just select delete selected. When a database on mobical.net is empty a slowsync will happen. that means everything on phone will get back to the web. If you don't want that to happen delete every appointment but one. Regards Martin ========== As for dupes and missing entries..it's weirdly random. One recurring daily item during the week only occurred on tuesday. And I lost my Thursday morning Meeting. And my Bi=weekly tuesday meeting also duped on the 2nd Wednesday... :head scratch: Later- I deleted all and slow synced and it's all good now. Looks like a few of my long running Tuesday events had end dates in 2008 on a Wednesday. All my fault..Mobical just couldn't digest it :) I'm pretty sure these guys are getting my money. The contact sync alone is worth the money for me as a mobile Mac/BIS user :) |
So I did some looking around and found funambol too. They have something called Sync4j, while Nexthaus has Sync4je. Nexthaus costs money. Funambol is free.
Anyone tried both? |

There is also SyncBerry (see the first post) that costs the same amount as SyncJe ($30 USD); I've tried both and like the Nexthaus client better, which I outlined above. You may like the SyncBerry client though, it's a personal preference. ;) |
Can I (with reasonable effort) set up my own SyncML server, to avoid trusting external services with my PIM data?

I think the more direct answer to your question would be... how much do you want to pay for a commercial working system that you just install and it works versus how much time do you want to spend working with an open source system that will require more effort. SyncML is a spec that runs on top of the standard protocols, so really it's about finding the middleware 'meat' to do the job. |
This might need a! sticky.... :) Mods????? Thanks :)

A new SyncJe 2.10 has been released; unfortunately they renamed an internal module, so if you try a direct upgrade you'll get a strage popup warning; you should uninstall 2.09 first, let the device reboot and install 2.10 if you want everything to be clean. All my settings (including reg info, logs, etc.) were retained during the process -- a test sync after the upgrade took 3 seconds and was in the clear.
I asked Support today about adding Memo sync (as Mobical and other phones support this), and they indicated they tried to get it in 2.10 but it didn't happen; it should be in the next release! (and there was much rejoicing) |
Ya same here rivviepop..... They ROCK!
