Smartphones are becoming people’s second portable computer and nearly as powerful. While they can easily synchronize basic MS Outlook data, most synchronization tools disregard users’ additional Outlook folders and sub-folders. A new “Outlook add-in” called OLMixedFolders help to keep mixed Outlook folders synchronized between different devices.

Washington, D.C. -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/22/2011 -- Most Symbian, Blackberry, iPhone or Windows smartphone users find synchronizing their personal Outlook calendar Exchange ActiveSync easy to do, but encounter barriers with public or group calendars and tasks as these are stored in public folders and "Exchange" does not support public folders synchronization. Motivated by business users or those who have a family who often share tasks, content or calendars, for which Outlook creates these non-sync public folders, "Somebytes Software Developer" embarked on resolving these tasks.

Outlook add-in "OLMixedFolders"

Somebytes' Outlook com add-in "OLMixedFolders" states to resolve this problem, allowing to synchronize different Outlook folders through a personal profile. "Windows Live Calendar" is another example of an application which creates an extra folder that won't directly synchronize with some cellular phones. OLMixedFolders synchronizes the "Windows Live Calendar" with the main calendar folder, which will synchronize with cellular phones.

"OLMixedFolders" can do more than that. For example some Content Management Systems (CMS) create folders in Outlook, which again won't normally synchronize with cellular phones. OLMixedFolders can synchronize the folder with the standard Outlook folder, allowing the content to be synchronized with a smartphone.

Synchronizing multiple Outlook folders for addresses, calendars and tasks

Outlook users with more than one address folders (e.g. one for business contacts one for personal contacts) will usually find that their cellular phone will only synchronize one folder. In that case OLMixedFolders will check the changes in each address against the standard folder, which the cellular phone software will synchronize.

Homo modernus versutus: Multi task, multi device, multi life

Sven Ilius, founder of Somebytes Software Developer comments: "If you have a busy life you can now keep your own Outlook calendars and tasks as well as those of your work group or family up-to-date synchronized on your smartphone as well as your personal and business address books to take them with you wherever and whenever. Our Outlook add-in OLMixedFolders really makes your smartphone smart."

How OLMixedFolders Outlook data synchronsiation works

OLMixedFolders' synchronization process uses what is called a "Slavefolder" (comprised by the standard Outlook folder for calendars, contacts, tasks etc. and special sub-folders) and a "Masterfolder" (to be synchronized with the "Slavefolder"). The synchronization can be filtered using any of a range of criteria and can also be set to synchronize in one or both ways (between Slave- and Masterfolder).

The most advanced Outlook synchronization add-in

Sven Ilius of Somebytes Software Developer explains: "Somebytes has been developing Outlook synchronization tools for many years and are proud to release OLMixedFolders; the most complete and advanced Outlook synchronization with smartphones."

Schlegel, Germany -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/20/2005 -- Software developer Sven Ilius found out that many Outlook users have asked Microsoft for a synchronization feature to update and synchronizes Outlook folders across their work team or among colleagues. He found that synchronizing for example calendars across co-workers would be immensely useful. Unfortunately Outlook was developed for personal computers and Microsoft has not released a synchronization utility for Outlook, though it is not necessary that each team member registers new contacts in Outlook, as one can enter the details and pass the contact file on to other users.

Synchronizing Outlook in the background

Software company Somebytes developed the solution called OLFolderSync, which it markets as the easy to handle tool, joining multiple Outlook-installations. In this process each user can define which folder to allow being synchronized. It is also possible to exclude private elements from the synchronization process or to sync only objects of a defined category. OLFolderSync can work with all Outlook folders in principle, excluded by default are only the folders "Draft", "Inbox", "Outbox", "Deleted Items" and "Sent Items".

How does synchronization work?

OLFolderSync exchanges the Outlook-Folder data by email in the background, while the PC can be used for other processes. The machines do not need to be online simultaneously, as OLFolderSync can finish the task automatically the next time Outlook downloads emails from the server, with the application taking care of the Outlook-Folder data being saved to the right folders. Sven Ilius of the developer "Somebytes" states: "The programme does not need any user intervention apart from installing and setting up the application once."

Configuring the tools is straight forward. After installation a new tab is added in the folder properties, to set up the synchronization. To add synchronization partners it suffices to enter their e-mail address. Sven Ilius: "The application caters for business users, who can also encrypt their sensitive data. The data can then only be used with the right password."

The developer Somebytes suggest the following application for OLFolderSync

- Synchronizing appointments, contacts, tasks and notes from a home PC with one at the office and vice versa.

- A personal assistant entering appointments synchronizing these across locations, even continents.

- Synchronizing Birthdays with friends and family – the whole group can have the same birthday calendar.

- Working with the same group calendar, tasks or other documents.

- Synchronizing Outlook-Data from a laptop with an office desktop computer.

- Synchronizing appointments with colleagues on the road.

- Synchronizing club appointments across all members.

- Preparing time sheets based on Outlook Calendar details.

- As an alternative for the Outlook network folder.

Availability of demo and full version

OLFolderSync 1.0 works under Windows 2000, 2003 or XP with the Outlook-Versions 2000 to 2003. A trial version can be downloaded off the web (1.10 MB). The full version with two licenses costs US$72.- at http://www.olfoldersync.com.

Conclusions

An economical and practical solution to synchronize Outlook across several computers. Effective yet easy to use.
