Hi as in Title can you have two outlook accounts on device?
I have my private one and work one and would like to have bought.
When I start outlook on my PC it asks me which profile to use, when I sync for first time I get the same question so I select one of them. After sync is done and I try to sync again with second one I get an error. Also as work one is exchange I tried to setup exchange account that does not work to well any help on that (it does not even have half of PC exchange account setup options).
Is there a way to setup exchange account on PC and sync those settings?
No, you cannot "sync" two Outlook (Exchange) accounts via ActiveSync at the same time. However I assume you are not using exchange on your private mail, but rather POP3 og IMAP. If so, you can set up additional email accounts on your phone. I recommend that you add an IMAP account (if your private email supports that) and set it to check for new emails regularly.

Hi at the moment I have my POP3 private account synced with outlook 2007. To be exact e-mails, notes and contacts. I want to sync my calendar and task manager with my company Exchange server. I have all details needed to setup outlook on my pc and for exchange web access.
Any ideas?

Hi guys
I'm wondering whether it is somehow possible to override the limitation of Activesync in WM and sync mails with more than 1 server?
I use mail-push for corporate mails, but would like of course to sync also my private mail2web - account.
what's the latest on this? sorry to revive such an old topic.
As far as I know, you'd have to use an alternative client to sync with multiple servers/
What if I want my handheld to sync to one exchange server just for email and another for contacts, calendar, and tasks?
At this time ActiveSync only supports 1 server.
mail from one exchange server, calendar/contacts from another...

Thought I would share it as i've been trying to figure out how sync my corporate email & calendar via one activesync server (company) and google contacts via another (the google server). So now I have both personal email (gmail IMAP) and work email (Exchange) and my personal contacts imported into the native contacts list.
Hope someone else finds this useful.
BTW, I also set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\EnableNonLocalCrossPollination to "1" instead of "0".
And now???
No news about multiple accounts setup?
As gmail is now provideing push access this becomes more than frustrating to be limited to one push server!!!!!!
You're too lazy MS!
Activesync does support multiple servers if you are not syncing the same items with both.
For example:
I sync my calendar and contacts with google sync and sync just my email with the company I work for.
You just have to go into the pocket outlook and create a new account as if you were creating a pop3 or imap account and then select Exchange Server. You however can NOT sync contacts or email or anything with both.

Is it possile to setup multiple exchange servers on the touch HD.
Or does one have to be exchange and the other IMAP

Not directly.
I have 2 Exchange Servers, one in the company, and a private server.
The company Exchange Server is used with Server Activesync, and the other I have configured with IMAP.
Enable the crosspollination allows you to sync then Calendar, Contacts via USB/BT at home, too.
So you have the same data across company server, private server and the device.
You can only have one Exchange sync profile running on the device. The other accounts would have to be brought in by Imap - then obviously you're just syncing email, not calendar, contacts etc.
mail from one exchange server, calendar/contacts from another...

Hi all
I have a personal smartphone (WM 6.5) I use mainly for private things. But I am allowed to use it for business purposes as well and I can connect to my business exchange server.
Now the question is how to do it the correct way.
At home, I sync with my Outlook using Activesync.
For business, I can connect straight to exchange or I can use IMAP.
I don't want to sync contacts, appointments and tasks to the main database of my smartphone. I just want to have another account for my business e-mails as I have if I add an additonal POP or IMAP account.
Is it possible to have an additional account on my smartphone that sycs directly with exchange but doesn't interfere with my private account? If so, how do I activate it?
Thank you for your ideas!

In activesync you can "add server" to configure the exchange server of your work.
the only problem is that with activesync you can only sync 1 email account. so either the one for your work or the one for home.
best is to set up active sync for the account where you also sync contacts, task, calendar,...
the other one you can add an email account. there you can schedule the frequency of send/receive.
+1 for adding your work account as an IMAP email account from the Messaging application.
Emails, contacts, calendar, tasks are stored in a specific file (pim.vol).
Your WM device can only use one pim.vol (at a time).
Activesync, by default, will sync only with one Exchange server source (tasks, contacts, calendar, email, ...).
But, you still can synchronize a Windows Mobile 6 device with multiple Exchange mailboxes. In order to do so, you will need to edit some reg keys...
Microsoft introduced this as "non local cross pollination" (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\EnableNonLocalCrossPollination)
It will allow you to synchronize your device with more than one Exchange server or ActiveSync source (office, home, ...).
For more info, you can refer to http://www.bitshift.ch/eng/support/kbase/000003.asp
Hope it helps.
Hi,
If I setup an Outlook Email account on my HD2, it only sync's email via ActiveSync. Is there a way to check my "Outlook" email via IMAP on my HD2 and combine it with the "Outlook Account" on the HD2? In other words instead of having 2 accounts, one Outlook sync'd via ActiveSync and another to check my email via IMAP, only have the one?
Thanks
Silly Man
short answer is no.
however if you set up the second account to check mail on the move, those mails will not be removed from the server until outlook does a mail check when they will in effect jump from your roaming inbox to your outlook inbox.not exactly perfect, but no great hardship.

You cannot connect 2 Exchange (Gmail also acting as Exchanger Server) server from Windows Mobile via Activesync, but you can setup Gmail as IMAP then you can connect to your Work Exchange Server. But Contact & Calendar information only sync with your Work Exchange.
I disagree, you can have 2 exchange servers with a registry tweak. However as specified above you cannot sync two email accounts, but you can sync contacts, calendars and tasks.
If i am honest its not an idea solution, but it does work. It sounds like the solution above works the same but has the benefit of better sense integration. At the moment i have my work exchange server linked in sense and active sync for contacts, calendar and email. My gmail is linked in two places, the first one activesync which covers the calendar and contacts, but i also link the email via imap via sense. This works well too but its a little awkward trying to edit email settings.
