sync 2 outlook accounts on 1 Q - Motorola Q Forum

seannorek · 09-13-2007, 12:43 PM

I have 2 outlook accounts, one for my company and one for my client. Is it possible to synch both outlook accounts to my Q? The way the setup works I can’t see a way to do more than one exchange server.

Its been a while since I did this but IIRC it can be done.
On your work pc you assign a category to all the contacts, I'll call it work. On the home pc you assign a different category, I'll call it personal.
On each pc you can do an advanced filter in activesync for the contacts and select only the one category you want.
It was back in the windows ce 2.1 days when I did that so it could be another feature that MS broke on the newer versions but it worked back then.

My 2 outlook accounts are on the same laptop. I just close Outlook and switch between the 2 as needed. I want to get the email from my client site and my own company, while keeping only my company contacts.

This forum is usually helpful. I can't believe no one has any insight here.

Which provider do you have?

If it is VZW and if you wanna do the actual exchange server I am unaware but I believe you can through Wireless Sync. It allows you up to 3 "corporate" emails which give the option for Exchange server. If you already have a data plan with VZW with WS program is free. Just set it all up and you should be set. For trouble shooting refer to their WDTS department...

Sorry then I'm not the right person to be asking. You could always attempt and if nothing else it just won't happen.

Does both accounts offer Push email through Exchange?

If you are on a unlimited data plan (which I am sure you are) you can download a service called emoze. This will only work if you have EVDO service in your area.

Sprint also offers something similar to the Verizon service call Sprint Business Connection - http://www.sprintpcs.com/bizcon.html
