Blackberry or Treo Syncing with Outlook Calendars Question...
Okay all you brainiacs, got a question.
I have a customer that works for two companies so he needs access to two email accounts. No problem there, I know both the Treo and Blackberry can both handle multiple email accounts. Here's the kicker:
Is it possibble to sync the calendars from TWO outlook accounts into ONE calendar on a device? If so can it be done on both the Treo AND the Blackberry, or will one do it better than the other???
An answer for my customer will result in a new act for my store so anyone's help is appreciated and prompt responses will earn bonus points!!!
Thanks in advance for everyone's help!

talked with the manager and he didnt think it was possible. although you can have muliple pop accounts that lets you handle multiple e-mail addresses you can only have one exchange server, guessing that would be outlook, and it would only pull from one or the other. but not that he knows of that it can be sync'ed togeather as one.
...
If you are using the BIS to sync Email and the Desktop Manager software to sync Contacts, Calendar, etc. - then YES you can sync between mulitple computers.
If you are on a BES server it may not be allowed - depends on the IT Policies on the device.

ok you can take this answer to the bank.
By sync if you mean exchange server syncing, having two exchange servers than yes, but everytime you sync the information stored on the device, it will show up on both outlooks on their computera.
My advice is use goodlink for one, (that has its own calender and datebook)
Then use Versamail for the other e-mail. Keeps everything neat and seperate.
JM techie stuff like that I can answer fast and I have my PM sent to my Treo so anything you need like that PM me.

Sorry, I was really busy when I wrote this.
But yes, I am talking about syncing between two exchange servers. So what I gather from SL_VA and mobile_trojan, it is possible. Just set up each email/outlook account as the first and second of the ten possible emails on the device. The only caveat being when it is synced, the stuff from one outlook calendar will show up in his other outlook calendar? If that is the case, I think that should work for him.
Now can this be done on both the Blackberry and the Treo? Would you guys recommend one over the other based on JUST this question? (We all know the Treo beats the pants off the Blackberry.)
Thanks guys for all your input, my techie employee is out of the country and he is the one I...

It is NOT possible with Versamail alone on the Treo 700p. You have to use Goodlink as well, if the are both exchange servers.
The blackberry is incapable of doing it.

He's currently using Business Connection Manager, don't know if I can convice him to swith to Versamail and Goolink... 😕

yes, it is possible to sync with two outlook calenders, but the info from one job will appear in the other one's calender, and vice versa. this is assuming that they are simply syncing with two computers.
as others have mentioned, if the syncing is being done over the air (as in with an exchange server) then i dont see you being able to setup more than one.
with the BB, someone mentioned the BES server, this is like exchange server syncing, but better. however, the company he works for would have to own a BES server, which is rare, since they cost tens of thousands of dollars per year to maintain. i dont see you being able to setup a BB to sync with two BES servers either.
so, if they are simply doing this at two PCs, as i assumed w...

Just get the treo 700p, and tell him to use Goodlink for one and Versamail for the orher.
...
his company would have to already be using a GoodServer. We need more info to accurately answer his question.
...
not at all. he can install the good software on his comp. .... yea there are always server info needed, but the phone is capable. its the customers job to get corp. approval to receive internal mail, externally. but its capable. you can use good on pop3 imap exchange whatever
