The biggest issue is that he sets appointments or makes a new contact on his phone or outlook and it doesn't sync with the other.

easier with an android. just add all 3 accounts on the phone and tell google to merge the calendars into one.


eta and he needs to move to a single email for all contacts. doesnt matter which, but for his sanity; unless he wants to keep personal and work contacts separate...just move them all to one account and delete them completely from the others.


i know this firsthand..i used to keep all my contacts in my WORK EXCHANGE account and finally just moved them to my gmail account and my complexity dropped dramatically.

plus i don't want to worry about not being able to keep my contacts should i ever leave this job.

always better to keep it on a personal email (iMail, gmail, live, whatever). a little messy at first, but you can walk him through it.

if you do it right, you'll only do this once.

Try the thunderbird mail client for the PC. You can use the gmail account in an outlook like thick client. Also - don't use the gmail app on the phone, set it as a regular mail account using the pre-loaded iPhone mail client. On the calendar on the phone, remove all of the calendars that come pre loaded and only allow it to show the gmail calendar. This will get everything in sync , and the only learning curve is on the thunderbird mail client - which is a lot like outlook.
