Hi,
I use Outlook for PIM functions, contacts, notes, and calendar. I use
Thunderbird for mail because I really dislike the way Outlook handles
iMap, very slow. I have contacts in TB as well but really prefer
Outlook for all of that stuff. I really miss the synchronization I had
with Outlook and my iDevices.
Best,
Rick alfaro

I'm not Raul, but on the PC side, I use Thunderbird and an add on called
GContactSync to keep my thunderbird Contacts and Google Contacts in
sync. On the iPhone I just use the CardDav account. I'm not positive,
but I think Raul also uses Thunderbird, although I think he uses a
different add on.
What email client or contact manager are you using on the PC side?

Raul,
How do you keep your contacts in sync with the PC and your iDevice at
the same time? I can only seem to be able to choose either iCloud,
or PC in iTunes. Maybe I'm missing something or are you using a
separate program on the PC side to accomplish this?
Best,

Hi, not trying to break my own rule by saying me too, but I must agree
here that this is what I've done. Although I can't blame Sieghard for
not wanting to do this. You shouldn't have to setup more than one
account to have the services you want. In my case I was already setting
up several things anyway, so I figured, why not? For example, I setup a
calendar service for my daughter's school schedule. Since I was already
in there, it was no big deal to setup another one for my Google
contacts. Speaking of Google contacts, that's what I use as my main
contact list on both the pc, Mac, and iPhone. So everything is always
synced. I'm sure I could do the same with Outlook.com, but since I'm
already established with Google I didn't want to take the extra time to
switch.

I only had to set up two accounts. One handles mail, calendar and
notes.
This is just using the default setup for Gmail. The second is for
contacts and uses the CardDav protocol.

Hi again,
I should have edited the subject line because a "CalDAV" account is
for
syncing calendars, you need to use a "CardDAV" account to sync
contacts. I
still think it's a pain in the neck, if you use Google and want to
sync
mail, contacts and calendar you have to set up 3 different accounts,
if you
use Outlook.com with Exchange Active Sync you set it up once and it
does it
all. I'm sure glad I decided to go with Hotmail/Windows Live 4 years
ago
when I decided to stop using my provider's email, yes, changing email
addresses is a bit of work, but I still have my provider's email so
one can
do it over time, but once it's done it's well worth it.
Regards,
Sieghard
