[FONT=Comic Sans MS]Problem - Outlook Business and personal contacts merging when Sycronising!

P900 Business & Personal contacts How NOT to merge on transfer? when synchronizing with Outlook/Exchange!

Hi and this is my 1st post!! 😊

I've managed to get the sync done and 1,400 contacts on the phone.
But....... the problem is when the business contacts are on the phone and I want personal contacts in the personal folder on the phone it merges them together!

I have moved the Business contacts prior to importing the personal contacts but it still puts them all together!

Anyone know a way around this ?

Thanx for any help?

Sorry, no way around this. Outlook folders are not recognised by the P900 and vice-versa. This has been covered many times before. If you look at the top of the page there is a fantastic search facilty. Searching in this and the P800 forums will reveal more information, hints, tips and bug reports than you can shake a really, really, very big stick indeed at. It's a great facility for first-timers who perhaps haven't seen what has already been discussed.

Thanx Bassey

Well that sounds like bad news :frown:
To be honest I didn't make the connection about Outlook Folders problem as I had moved the Business contatcs prior to importing the Personal contacts! and assumed that SE would have had sorted this out! 😡

I did look through the long, long list of comon problems but either its not there or I missed it! + I did a search but was looking for the wrong answer I guess!

I have to find a way around this so if and when I do I'll post!

Thanx for the reply.

I have the same problem with tasks categories.

synching with p910 completely useless when one has 100s of tasks in various categories.

Does anyone know of a 3rd party sync program that can recognize outlook Categories and synch accordingly.

Big disapointment in this 'smartphone' if it can't do a rudimentary fuction like this.
