Setting up Google Sync for N97

July 18th, 2009 danny25 Leave a comment Go to comments

There are 2 ways that you can store your contacts online, one is using ovi and the other is Google Sync. I have my contacts stored at both locations but I still prefer to use Google Sync because I use Gmail and now Google Voice.

To set up Google Sync with your N97, you need to download Mail for Exchange. I’ve read that it’s available on Ovi Store but I couldn’t find it. However, on the N97 NAM MfE is already pre-installed on the device. All you have to do is open your N97 browser and type in “c:\installation\MailForExchange_S60_5_0.sisx” and hit “go to”. The application will start installing.

After installation, go to applications and open the MfE folder. Launch the application Mail for Exchange. Now continue with Google Sync : Setup Instructions and start synchronizing your contacts.

Remember to back up your contacts first before you sync with google. A couple on my contacts got replaced/deleted.

  • Happy User of N97 and N97 Mini

    At least for Mini, the latest Mail for Exchange found on Ovi works also ok (the install file did not exist anymore), and with the help of above (kind of dated) help it was easy to configure. Only real difference in the steps described above was that the "Domain" could not be left blank, so I used "Home" instead as is shown in one of the screenshots. Both Calendar and Email synced immediately.

    How do I get to the browser in order to type: "c:\installation\MailForExchange_S60_5_0.sisx"

    Also, when I navigate to the MfE folder on my N97 it is empty.

    Thanks!
