Is it possible?
On my PocketPC (Inbox->Tools->Manage Folders) I can only find the PocketPCs
own Drafts folder.
But I need to sync the Outlook 2003 Drafts folder.
Thanks!
In the Version 5.0 Windows Mobile the system comes with three main folders – MMS – TEXT – OUTLOOK E MAIL. Each one has in turn subfolders such as sent mail, inbox, deletions and so on…
I have added two folders being PERSONAL and BUSINESS through my T-Mobile carrier, again coming standard with sent mail, inbox, deletion and so on...
When synchronizing the only folder that does so is OUTLOOK E-MAIL which is not a problem in itself. However, incoming wireless mail comes in under BUSINESS and PERSONAL accounts which is not a problem since a copy is sent to the regular computer that then synchronizes with the device every now and then.
The PROBLEM: When responding to mail that came in under the wireless scenarios (I.E.: into PERSONAL and BUSINESS Folders) there is no way to capture the sent mail except leaving it on the MDA itself. I would have thought it be possible to either synchronize it or move it into a separate folder on the MDA. There is a move function but this only allows you to move items within each Folder and not to other folders.
HELP
Hi guys!
I need yous help or comments here.
I have PPC WM6, Outlook 2003.
I have downloaded a .pst file for a sports tournament here in South Africa.
I have imported it to my Outlook calendar, and the appointments appear on my PC, but does not sync to my PPC.
I saw something about a PPC not being able to sync personal files etc.
I wanna know, is there an easy way to get the PPC to sync the Appointments to my PPC. I saw some software and stuff, but not sure if there is a easy way to do it?
Can someone help here??
Thanks guys!
I have included a Screenie of how my setup looks! Thanks!
Anyone that can help with this please!
I think there should be some thing in Outlook configuration for selecting your main synce source files. may be outlook only sync your ppc with your default pst file.

Thats indeed what happens.
But how do i get that part of the Calender to sync with the main .pst?
I did in once before, but i used a different .pst file, i think that was configured to link upto the main pst.
Its strange, becuase this .pst that i loaded for the sports event created a second type of calendar, i dont know how to set it to sync with main!
Any ideas??
Thanks guys!
As I understand it, ActiveSync, will only sync the default folders in your OutLook account, i.e. the ones in your exchange server. However, you can specify to Outlook to deliver new mail, appointments, etc. to a pst file automatically, thus making the folders (calendar, contacts, mail, etc.) in the pst file available for syncing to the PPC. This is they way I have setup my PC at the moment. Merely "importing" the pst file to Outlook will not change the default folders that are used to deliver new items and to sync with the exchange server and the PPC. This is why you can see the 2 calendars side by side. If you only want to have some specific appointments made available to the PPC I would recommend just copying them to the default calendar folder.

Hi!
Where is the default calender folder located?
Thanks alot!
(If i copy this .pst to that folder, will it sync??)
Thanks
I'm afraid is not that simple... In the screenshot my PST folders (personal) are on top and my default Outlook Folders are below. In your case your default folder is "CALENDAR" and your PST Folder is "Super 14". Simply copying the folder inside outlook will just create a "Calendar2" folder below the default one. The easiest way would be:
1. Open the "Super 14" Calendar which contains the appointments you want to sync to the PPC.
2. Change the VIEW to "ALL APPOINTMENTS".
2. Then, EDIT -> SELECT ALL.
3. Now you can either EDIT->COPY and EDIT->PASTE them into your "CALENDAR" folder OR move (EDIT->MOVE TO) them there. BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT ONCE THEY ARE MOVED IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE THEM FROM THAT CALENDAR, OR TO RETURN THEM TO OLD ONE.
Try it first with a couple of appointments and see if you can sync them to the PPC.
Make a copy of your PST file first, so you can go back if it gets screwed up.

hi, with what parameters i have to launch poutlook.exe to open contact book??
outlook on pocketpc's
is devided into 4 exe files
inbox, calender, contacts and tasks
Experts, I'm desperate! I gave my lil bro my old phone, but stupid enough of me, I left all of my settings the way it was, also the exchange settings with work. He logged on with msn and synced all his contacts, agenda, tasks etc with my contacts etc. And now I lost everything! How can I do a roll back?
Old phone is an WM 6.1 HTC touch cruise (phone of my lil bro), the new phone is the HTC HD2 WM 6.5 (my own), don't think this will matter though.
Thanks!
-edit
I still have the old outlook.ost file, where I found my 'old' contacts and calendar items. But when I tried to sync it says it need to make contact with the server, but I dont want that! How can I achieve this?
Windows 7 with windows mobile device centre 6.1
Hi,
- disconnect the line to the server, that there is no syncronization
- put the .ost file in the Outlook directory
- start Outlook
- copy inside of the open outlook the folders calender and contacts from the exchange part to the personal part of outlook
- export these two new folders to .pst files
- connect to the exchange server and sycronize
- import the .pst files into the syncronized exhange folders
That's it

LOL idd, I did this just an hour ago and it works ! Tnx for your reply!
Would now be a good time to suggest installing PIMBackup and scheduling a regular backup of PIM data?
Mine does it at 4am and has saved my bacon on more than one occasion. My own fault for trying to maintain OTA synch with more than one source.
