Install the funambol outlook plug-in. We chose version 6 beta as it adds Outlook 2007 support:

Start outlook. On the menu choose «Funambol», «Options...». Under «Account», «Location» enter the url of your server. (In our example http://your.server.com:8080/funambol/ds) Enter the same username and password that we created earlier and used on our phone.

Under «Sync», «Items» make sure that «Contacts» and «Calendar» are checked.

First hit «Details» next to Contacts and change «Remote name» to card and «Data format» to vCard.

Next hit «Details» next to Calendar and change «Remote name» to cal and «Data format» to iCal.

If you like you can also tell outlook to automatically sync. You may also check «Notes» and «Tasks» to be synchronized (nice if you have more than one computer running outlook), but these will not synchronize on your phone. Finally Hit «OK».

Now click on the «Sync All» button. You will receive an error message stating that you have entered an invalid username or password.

Go back to the funambol admin tool. Follow the same procedure we used to add a principal between your IMEI and your user account. But this time you should find a device that starts with «fol» or similar.

Go back in outlook and hit «Funambol», «Sync All». This time the plug-in should synchronize properly, and all of the contacts and calendar items that were on your phone should be available in outlook.

Congratulations! You server is now online and you should be able to sync your outlook and your phone whenever you like. You should also be able to add additional devices by following the procedures we used above. You can also add additional users if you like so that everybody you know (or who works for you) can synchronize their devices.
