This might seem like a stupid question, but is it possible to sync more than 1 calendar with Outlook Mobile (and hence Pocket Informant)?
I have one work calendar and one personal and I want to keep them separate as my work calendar is viewable to my work colleauges (sp?). Is there a way to keep them separate, but yet have them both available on the HD2?
My work calendar is actually a GoogleCalendar linked to our work domain and email and my private one is just a local Outlook Calendar. My work calendar syncs to another local Outlook Calendar using Google Calendar Sync.
I would be willing to go for a hosted Exchange account if required, but I'd still have to update the calendars separately from the Windows Mobile device.
Very complicated I know, but any suggestions would be gratefully accepted.
Best I can think of (and I have no idea if this is possible. It just sounded good as I thought of it now ) is to create a third calendar using google, 30Boxes or something like that - maybe even a hosted exchange service. Then use that to pull in the data from the two accounts you want and synch your device with the combined calendar.
Voila - Your two calendars are separate but your device contains them both.
You're going to ask how now, aren't you?

Well Bassey, i had this thought too, but figured that if I wanted to add an appointment on the WM device, it would sync to the hosted Exchange account but how would it then decide where to sync each one to?
I use outlook at work and at home and like you do not want my work calendar showing my personal stuff, but I want my home calendar to show both personal & business appointments.
Here's what I do...
I use Chronobis (win mob app) to pull my calendar from my work exchamge account to my HTC HD2. Then when I sync (Activesync) with my laptop at home these work appointments merge with my personal stuff. Chronobis only works one way (exchange to Win Mob) so nothing gets sent back to my work exchange account.
Chronobis is freeware and can also be used for email/task etc. If you can get web access to your email exchange server then it will work for you.
Now this sounds very interesting, as I want to do something like this so that my wive has a view of my work commitments when planning things etc.
Excellent post Andy-D, I'll give Chronobis a go... Do you know of anything that would do this on the desktop? Although I do use a Windows Phone for work primarily, but can use my personal device to do this, now that's excellent.
I hope Chronobis can do this, then use my own personal Exchange server for updating as you do with Activesync...
That sounds like it would work, except where I need to update my hosted calendar from my phone as well. It looks that for now I will just use the PI calendar only for Work Appointments and just block out times and days where I have personal appointments.
