Default Looking for task-list software better then Outlook

Do you have a solution to the other problem mentioned by the previous
poster;

"I'm also not able (or not knowing how) to synchronize task sub-folders
onto my PocketPC using the standard ActiveSync software."

I am trying to figure out how to do the same thing. I suspect it isn't
possible, which would be another limitation on the usability of tasks
in Outlook. Please prove me wrong.

This is an ActiveSync limitation, not an Outlook limitation. Since synchronizing task subfolders is not a feature of ActiveSync, you'd have to either consolidate the data into the default Tasks folder or look for another sync utility. (That's not a product area that I follow.) Maybe it's time to revisit the question of why you're using subfolders for tasks?

The limitation is caused by ActiveSync but the end result is it limits
how I can use Outlook tasks.

Why do we use subfolders for email? The same reason I want to use them
for tasks: Organization.
