The Outlook & Sync blog

The new version of our Outlook synchronization software Easy2Sync for Outlook is out now. This time with quite a lot of improvements.

The biggest change is the completely reworked “synchronization overview” dialog.  It now looks a lot nicer and shows much clearer which actions Easy2Sync suggests. (User of Easy2Sync for Files can look forward to the next update: They’ll get the same improvement.)

Furthermore the program is now compatible to Outlook 2010 (so far only 32 bit), it’s easier to install onto an USB stick and the logfile is easier to reach, too.

The update is free for all registered users. More info about the software can be found on the Outlook Sync homepage.

The new version 3.04 of our Outlook sync software is out. It features lots of small detail improvements and improved support for Exchange servers, services under Vista and can now handle corrupted PST files better.

Die biggest and (from Easy2Sync perspective) almost historic change: You can now turn off the butterflies (Menu: View).

The program includes the butterflies since the very first release (even since the very first release of Easy2Sync for Files). Because of their symmetry, they were chosen as symbol of the synchronization. But if you want, you can now turn them off to get a “plain” user interface.

As always the update is free for all registered customers. More info about the program is available on the Outlook sync page.

A quick update for Easy2Sync for Files: Version 1.36. In the previous version using the “safe copy” option could lead to the stopping of the entire task. This is fixed now. In general this options is useful for safely copying files over unstable networks.

Furthermore a problem with the lock files was fixed (they’re useful if you run competing syncs on multiple computers).

As always the update is free for our registered customers. For more info about the product, please refer to the File sync page.

We’ve just released Easy2Sync for Files 1.35. There are two major changes in the program. First, the update includes an improved support for unreliable networks. Wireless, dial-up, VPN, etc.  Easy2Sync is now much better at detecting broken connections and incorrect server responses to protect your data.

The second change is a reworked user interface with new icons. Hope you like. 😉

The update is (as always) free for registered users. For more info please refer to the file sync page.

We’ve just published the new version 3.02 of Easy2Sync for Outlook. There are too many detail improvements to list them here, so I’ll just explain the two most important ones.

From now one, Easy2Sync will not delete an item that was deleted on the other computer, but move it into the “Deleted Items” folder instead to make an undo possible. Furthermore we reworked the icons in the program to match the current style (16 colors wasn’t  up-to-date any more).

As always the update is free for registered users. For more info, please refer to product page of our Outlook sync tool.

One of the many small features that Easy2Sync for Files has is that it supports you when searching for the right folder. The folder where your browser stores your bookmarks, for example.

Simply create a new task in Easy2Sync and instead of entering a folder, click on the small black triangle on the right. The combo box will open and present you (among other things) a choice of your browser bookmarks. Simply choose yours and repeat this for the second computer. This works with the Freeware Edition for the browsers Opera and Firefox. (IE users will need the Home or Business Edition because of the subfolders.)

The new version 1.34 of our file sync tool is out. The major change are the two new task types:

• Copy files always
• Delete files

The first one allows you copy files even when they seem be unchanged. This is great for creating backups of TrueCrypt containers because they change neither size nor date, when their contents are changed.

The second task task makes it easier to automatically deleted unwanted files. The nice twist here is that you can combine it Easy2Sync’s filter options for file and path names and file age.

You can find more information about Easy2Sync for Files on the file sync page.

We’ve just published the new version 3.01 of our Outlook synchronisation software. The new release contains some minor improvements and fixes, for example when synchronizing an Exchange account with a PST file.

More info about Easy2Sync for Outlook can be found on our Outlook sync page.

Both Easy2Sync for Files and Easy2Sync for Outlook offer the option to summarize multiple tasks (via file > new) into a “task collection”. This is very useful if you wan to synchronize multiple folder trees or PST files in a row. Furthermore you can (via the menu ‘View’) hide all tasks from the main list that are already member of a task collection. This makes the list shorter and easier to read.

Only downside: Sometimes you want to run just a single task of the task collection. But you can’t do that if the task is hidden.

The trick here is very simple and very useful: Use the right mouse button to click on the task. The context menu contains not only the usual commands (like ‘Edit’), but also all tasks that are a member of that task collection. Now one click is enough to run the specified sync task.

As always the update is free for all existing users. For more info about the software please refer to the outlook sync pages.
