so you can daisy chain different RTM accounts into Google Calendar, sync that with Outlook and set up rules for different labels.

So your collated calendar events and tasks (or a selection thereof) can be there in your desktop client and use views to see them all or filter them as needed – then you have an offline version too without Gears.

Also works the other way so if a colleague or client sends you an Outlook appointment or Free/Busy email this is added to calendar and updated to GCal on next sync. So you can update your open source/social calendar with work items using the existing system rather than getting colleagues to share a GCal system or the like.

i then sync certain categories and accounts with my phone calendar which is in bluetooth sync.

I use this in conjunction with the Zoho Outlook plug in so sales tasks and milestone design tasks are all collated and updated to and from to the relevant area for recording.

So if Zoho pipes up with “chase approval on design X task overdue” this is added to my Outlook workday tasks and calendar and added to my gmail central calendar for “what was i working on that day?” reference. But this can sit alongside a GCal reminder to post my dad’s birthday card in either the main GCal online, Gears offline version or Outlook.

Selected items (appointments) are synced to my phone with the assorted category. Sadly i have yet to create an appointment on my phone assign the custom category for Zoho and get it to sync correctly but thats an edge case scenario anyway.

there are single supplier end to end solutions for the same (mostly based around Exchange or its clones) but this works well with existing hardware and accounts so minimal change to existing process or preferred tools. And its free.

Now i need to find a decent push email relay which works with the Sony Ericsson G900 – in theory it supports Exchange standard so should work with clones but so far no joy on Push or indeed POP3 polling.
