In activesync versions 3.x it was possible to selectively sync your outlook contacts either individually or according to categories. I cannot see that option anymore. Is there any way to selectively sync contacts in wm6? Any assistance will be appreciated as the pim.vol file is too large and eating up my storage space.
Can someone who knows about this please respond? Is it possible to selectively sync contacts from outlook?
I do not know about this, but I do not know of a way to do it, sorry. :/

Does anyone knows where the contacts and the SMS are stored on WM5 ?
Is there a file like outlook.pst ?

I'm also curious about this since I don't actually need to sync, only backup. I don't use Outlook and I'm not crazy about FinchSync either.
Hi all, does anybody know how can I choose what contacts categories I want to transfer to my device? I have Windows Vista and I can´t find this option that I remember was in some of the old ActiveSync versions.
I think it's a basic feature as may be I am not interested to transfer 100% of my contacts to the phone!!
Maybe a 3rd party add on?
Thans in advance.

Give pocketmirror a try, but it allows you to transfer contact, task and calendar folders over. I have personal, friends and etc. folders. I can sync just the friends folder or all of them. It may not be what you want, but check it out.
Ok, I'll try... thanks!
If you want an easy way, just create a new folder into your Contacts folder in Outlook and put there all those contacts you don't want to synch.
If you're used to work with Contacts, this will be too annoying, but if you only get the mail addresses or phones from the mail window, Outlook will find them or you an use the "search" option.
It's not a good trick, but it helps a few.
I wanted to know if there is a way around or trick to prevent duplicating contacts/appointments/tasks everytime I flash my vogue
and connect/sync to MyPhone and then sync with Outlook?
Sorry if this was asked elsewhere...could find it!
Thanks in advance.

I found a simple solution... Flash your device. Sync with MyPhone. Delete Outlook personal folders file and create a new, empty one (easy way to just delete everything from Outlook). Then set up sync between device and Outlook, voila - all your data goes first from MyPhone to device, then from device to Outlook.

Create new Contacts folder
The syncronization between WinMo with Outlook via Activesync regarding the contacts is done using the default Outlook contacts folder. So, what I use to do is to create another contacts folder and move there as many contacts as I want not meant to be sync'd. This way, I achive what I want, and keep intact all the remaining contacts, which you can move back and forth as you please, any time.
However, my understanding of "syncronization" is not all these tricks (I know that sometimes there is no other way) but a single utility that syncs, echoes, replicates or whatsoever. From this point of view, I would like to reiterate the original question: Is there "something" to sync My Phone with Outlook?
Thanks.
FWIW i have the same issue with my Xperia connected toOutlook and a mail2web Exchange account. The only commonality is my Xperia in the middle and the only working solution has been to clear out the Outlook Calendar and Contacts before resynching, after allowing time for the OTA Exchange to finish.
When I try to stop actively syncing certain features (like contacts), it erases all my contacts from my phone. Help?
Here's the deal:
I have set up my WM6.5 standard phone (Samsung JACK) to sync with my home PC and my work PC. The other day I wanted to back-up my contacts to my home PC, but I don't want it to sync contacts on my work PC because then it will download the entire office directory - do not want.
So I selected "CONTACTS" to sync while at home. I did it, it saved all my contacts to my PC, and now I'm happy.
Trouble:
When I went into options and un-selected "CONTACTS" it now has to remove all my contacts from my phone. Why??? It says that it has to remove all sync'd contacts to stop it from sync'ing in the future. That makes no sense, and is now causing me trouble.
To get my contacts back on my phone, I sync'd it with my home PC. But, now I can't sync with my work PC because I can't remove CONTACTS from the sync list.
This is also true with CALENDAR. I was thinking of trying to sync my Outlook calendar with GOOGLE Calendar, but to start a new sync with Google I have to unselect my calendar sync. If I do that, it removes all of my calendar items. THIS IS NO GOOD!
How can I unselect something to stop it from sync'ing in the future but leave those items alone on my device and PC as they are.
Help?
I hate to "bump", but I was hoping someone here had experience with this.
I can't seem to get anybody to talk to me about this, and it is increasingly infuriating.
The only answer I'm finding is that we CAN'T.
ActiveSync will delete everything if you stop sync'ing. So, we have to use a 3rd party backup software to backup everything, delete the partnership, and then set the new thing to sync, and reload from the backup.
A pain in the you-know-what, but it looks like Microsoft designed it that way. (Booooo, hisssssss)
i'm looking forward to getting away from MS in my next phone.
My work has turned off the USB ports on our computers. Therefore, I can no longer sync my phone via activesync with Outlook. I've been looking and cannot find a simple way of exporting my contacts and calendar to something that I can then sync my phone to, while preserving all of the data included.
Can someone recommend something that will do this while preserving contact pictures and calendar categories, etc?
FYI, I'm using WinMo 6.5
Thanks.
Upload them online to either Windows Live account or Gmail account.
Gmail preferred. It will store your contacts, calendar, etc.
Otherwise try PIMBackup
I should have stated, that I need to get the contacts and calendar off of my work PC. I know about google sync for calendars, but there isn't something similar for contacts.
The only methods that I have found do not save categories or contact pictures. I'd like to find something that equals what activesync can do when it transfers new info to my phone.
