Hi adg82439,

 

Are you trying to sync the free calendars with Nokia suite, then to your Nokia device? Please provide us with more information on what outcome you want to achieve from your technical issue.

Re: SYNC of Calendar with Windows Live Mail

When I tried to sync I got message from ovi suite, no outlook installed.

 

So please include Thunderbird lightning or windows live mail  into ovi suite for calendar and contacts  to sync.

Hi adg82439,

 

Unfortunately Microsoft doesn't have any API available for Windows Live Mail PC application. Currently that makes it impossible for us to support sync with Windows Live Mail.

Hi haZey

 

according to posts here and in http://netzwerk.nokia.de

 

there is a SYNC with WindowsLiveMail over Hotmail and Echange active sync.

 

Unfortunately when installed only the contacts from liveMail are available in WindowsLivemail locally on my PC, while the local stored contacts cant be seen.

The calendarsync works only with the Exchangeactivesync calendar as a separate calender but is not synced with the privat calendar on my phone.

 

 So there is some of an API. But its unfortunately work just over cloud and does not sync really with the existing calendar but make a new calendar and just sync this one.

 

It is not a good solution because

-on the pc there is not a view on all appointments bacause not all calendars are synced.

-the sync is not just locally but spread the personal data in the so called cloud.

 

 

A popular solution could be, if you can't or won't extent the sync to Hotmail,

to enable NOKIA SUITE
with full Email, Contacts and Calendar and Tasks Support synced
to locally installed MOZILLA THUNDERBIRD and LIGHTNING parallel to Outlook.
