Pocket PC sync to 8.5?

[Thomas Betz]

We're still running 6.07 here; until version 8's HTML client came along,
we saw no purpose in breaking what works. The HTML client offers me a
chance to smooth the upgrade transition without having to mess around
with Java, which is good.

However, I see that 8.5 only supports Palm synchronization. Whatever
happened to Pocket PC support? Some folks here would prefer to use one.

Thanks.

The Poket PC support is now part of intellisync, which must be purchased seperatly.

We recently updated from 6.07 to 8.5

2 issues:

- 8.5 does NOT import 6.07 exported database! Workaround is to import the 6.x export into a 7.1 version (demo is okay) and then export it again, and then import it to 8.5

- intellisync is at least for us VERY slow and has also problems in supporting ongoing shedules such as birthdays or holidays. Sometimes they are taken over, sometimes not. No solution for that yet.

Frankly: The HTML Interface is nice and quite fast, other then that we are not that much impressed with the progress the software has taken since 6.07.

Meeting Maker has always included Palm syncronization with thier product, you have to purchase either the Intellisync add on product for mm version 7 or 8 or MM 8.5 now has the Outlook Connector which syncs Windows Outlook clients directly to their meetingmaker account.

So if you used their Outl;ook connector to keep the mm client and outlook client always in sync, you could use active sync to always keep your PocketPC calendar up to date.

You might improive the speed of your sync with Intellisync if you increase the memory to your Tomcat installation. The Tomcat server does all the work so the processing power/memory/bandwisdth available to this server is important.

"ongoing shedules such as birthdays or holidays. Sometimes they are taken over,
sometimes not. No solution for that yet. "

MM 8.5 has repeating banners that did not exist in previous versions before 8. So repeating birthdays etc work fine.

Hi,

will check the tomcat tip. thx.

In the menatime we figured out what the problem with the bithdays is.
We are in this case talking about birthsdays (and other recurrent appointments) which are sceduled in outlook and which intellisync shall put into MeetingMaker. That seems to work, if the birthday starts AFTER 1990. It seems that MeetingMaker cannot handle repeating scedules, if the first occurence is before 1990.... which is true for birthdays often and for other stuff sometimes. Of course its no problem to sort of cut off the older events, but it must be done by hand.
