I'm after some advice if anyone would be good enough to help
I have my hotmail account synced to Thunderbird on my computer. I also have a googlemail account synced so I can access the associated calender with the Lighting plugin. Me and the wife use the same calender so we know what we're both doing.

I use Outlook for my work e-mail and have all my contacts on that, which I periodically sync to my Blackberry.

Now, the calender on my Blackberry is associated with my hotmail account, not my work account, because I like to be able to remove my work account when I go on holiday and not have to resync my calender each time.

This causes the problem that, when I add someones birthday to my Outlook contacts, it doesn't get automatically updated to my blackberry calender, which means it doesn't get synced with my google calender, which means I probably forget about it.

So what I think I'm looking for is a way of synchronising my work contacts with my hotmail contacts. But what I want to avoid doing if possible is having my hotmail account linked to Outlook, as I want to keep my work and private e-mails separate.

Sorry, what was that? TL:DR? Okay, here is a picture of a funny man, can you deface it to make it look even funnier?

I was hoping for something along those lines.

Is that the sound of you thinking, or planning a really witty put down?

It's more concerned than aroused, I'd say.

If they're on facebook
then birthdays should automatically transfer from the facebook app to your Blackberry

I don't synchronise facebook details like that with my blackberry, or it tries to add everyone in your contacts folder
which is fucking irritating.

Plus I know people who aren't on facebook.
I know, I know, it's hard to understand, but look at Monty. Now go and wipe the vomit off your chin.

Google Calendar Sync?
Install this on the outlook PC and it should sync across to the Google calendar, not sure if you can specify just birthdays though...
