Synchronizing contacts and calendar from LotusNotes & Outlook & Gmail to Windows Mobile 6 phone.
I have recently purchased a Windows Mobile 6 phone and love the way it syncs with Outlook on my personal computer and with Cardscan and Plaxo using their Outlook syncing plugins. At work however, we use Lotus Notes 6 and I am not sure how to go about synchronizing the contacts and calendar between Lotus Notes 6 and my phone. Any recommendations / solutions?

Lotus? *shudder*
Intellisync worked with lotus. Don't know if it still works as they were acquired by Nokia.

Nirmal,
Nokia still very much supports Lotus Notes, But, you really want to take a look at Commontime. Best sync software for Lotus Notes, period.
They actually have two major products:
(1) mNotes - This is for the end user.
(2) mSuite - This is for the server. It gives your administrators full control of the device. Push mail, security, the whole nine yards. (Think: BlackBerry functionality for all other mobile operating systems.)
The experts I selected below, Shaun and Mary both work for Commontime and can help you out. Shaun is in sales, Mary works in a more technical capacity.
Hope this helps.

Henry F also suggests these experts on this topic:
Firstly... try the Lotus Notes connector for outlook, it will let you use Outlook as the front-end for Notes.
Secondly, use Plaxo to sync Outlook with Outlook, your Windows Mobile Phone (over the air if you like) and GCal. It handles everything for you and can sync changes made in any place with any other. I use it to sync my Home/Work contacts and calendars with each other and GCal as an online backup and it works GREAT!
Don't let Plaxo's history impact your decision, they used to be a little questionable on the contact update side but they have changed strategies. The sync stuff is really top notch and I have about 1,000 contacts that keep up with little or no issue.
PS - if you use one, they support Mac sync as well. Very useful for my home machines.

If you don't mind using your Lotus Notes address book as the central store, that you can then export into an Outlook format for synching with your phone, I can help. Drop me a line.
