A guy I used to work with, and who is used to Microsoft Exchange Active Sync
on his mobile is now working on his own and using GMail. What options are
there, if any for the non e-mail access he got on Active Sync such as
Calendar and Contacts sync?

You just tell your phone to use m.google.com as your Exchange Server then
you can sync most things with Google.

Search for "Google Sync" in Google.

Any Android smartphone should do the job. There are specific apps. for
GMail.

BIS will not let you see inside subfolders, which may or may not be a
problem for the OP. Frustatingly enough, you can see the folder structure,
just not their contents.

If I was going to buy a new phone I'd go for one that has an Android OS,
such as an HTC or Samsung. My Nokia N95 8GB will sync my contacts and
calendar to Google, using 'Mail for Exchange', which can be downloaded
from Ovi.

Is there anyway to use this 'fake' exchange on a PC? I've tried using
m.google.com as an Exchange server in Outlook but it doesn't work. Does on
the phone though - very handy and didn't know I could do this!

Are there any other mail programs other than Outlook that I could get it to
work with?

I assume you *don't* mean Outlook Express?

I haven't tried it with m.google.com, but you could try configuring
Outlook for RPC over HTTP mode (called Outlook Anywhere in latest version).

No I meant proper Outlook.

What settings would I input for that? I've just tried m.google.com in
the web address but no joy.

Thanks for any advice.

Something like this, I've only ever used it to an actual exchange server.
