Synchronize with multiple Outlook contact folders

2 replies · 6,322 views · Started 13 September 2005

New 9300 - have discovered that synch only considers the default Outlook Contacts folder - I have multiple folders for contacts on my PC and wish to synchronize these with different contact databases on the 9300 - i think it is impossible. Disappointed with limited functionality. Any one have any luck??

Hi,

This is actually possible except for some bugs that prevent it from happening.

I had been trying to do this for months. After no repsonses on forums i begun my own experimentations and after days of toiliing on this I figured out that you can actually define different synchronisation profiles on your 9300/9500 and in so doing you are able to create multiple and distinct Contacts DB (by default they are on the memory card which is good - however they show up in your contacts program as seperate DB's)

THe most irritating thing here is that the PHONE does not sync with anything other than the default profile - OR it just does not sync if u change settings.

My conclusion was that this is possible in theory but some unfixed bugs are not allowing this to work in practice.

How irritating it is....
