I have used Outlook for years for Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks with no
email in my profile. I did update my .pst to OL2003 Unicode with no issues. Using Activesync, I sync these three items with my PocketPC. My company is in the process of switching to Exchange Server, and I am in the pilot program. When I added the Exchange account, it created a complete new set of Outlook folders (including Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks) which I understand reside on the server. When I set up this account, this became my default email delivery location. Now, when I sync my PocketPC, Activesync syncs the Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks from the new Exchange account instead of the folders in my Personal Folders. I can change my default email delivery back to my Personal Folders, and then the sync works the way I want it to, but the mail in my Exchange Inbox moves to my Personal Folders Inbox removing it from the Exchange server. I don't really want to put my personal Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks (from my Personal Folders) out on the Exchange server. Can anyone make a suggestion as to how I go about keeping these two separate, yet continue to sync my Personal Folders with my PocketPC? Thanks in advance! -tim |

I'm not sure about the latest ActiveSync, but it used to only sync the
default folders for contacts, calendar, tasks. I don't really want to put my personal Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks (from my Personal Folders) out on the Exchange server. Why not? It gets backed up. The admin can see them whether they are on your workstation or on the server (if they really really want to). I really think that is the best solution. Alternatively, you can create a 2nd profile locally and ask Outlook to prompt for a profile when you open it. Make the 2nd profile your specialty ..pst as the default. The problem there is that you won't be able to have both profiles open simultaneously. "Tim L. Pearson" wrote in message ...

Ask your Exchange administrator, not us.
I bet he or she will take a dim view of your even having a PST file in your Profile, let alone trying to set it as your default delivery location. There are not just simple personal choices, as you imply. You need to be discussing these issues with your Exchange administrator. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Tim L.

As William said, why not? A business is not in business for your personal
gratification. Doing personal e-mail on business time may not be illegal, but is probably against company policy. At the very least it is in very poor taste. If I were the business owner, your personal business just became mine... Which door do you want to use as you exit? "Tim L. Pearson" wrote in message ...

I can see why people post to this group. You are all so friendly--William
excepted. You only need to read a few posts to see this. Most post are answered with something implying that the poster is stupid or trying to do something illegal. Many other posts chastise people for posting to the wrong newsgroup. Ouch! First of all, my computer is my personal laptop which I use at work. It is not a desktop computer that I use at work for personal use (and Chuck, you might try reading--I said very clearly that I have used Outlook in the past for Contacts and Calendar with no email in my profile). Since you decided that I'm trying to hide something from my employer (and maybe I should note that I am in upper management, although I initially didn't think this relevant), I felt compelled to post this reply. You all keep up the good work dishing out your friendly advice. And William, thanks for your reply, and for not passing judgment without having (seemingly irrelevant) facts. Your advice was helpful, and pretty much the same conclusion I had reached on my own. I've grown somewhat dependent on having my personal contacts/calendar on my PocketPC, and now I will now either look for a 3rd Party solution to hopefully be able to synch these items or use a separate profile as you suggested. -tim "Chuck Davis" newsgroup at anthemwebs dot com wrote in message ...

I was not questioning your motives. I was questioning the safety of what you
were trying to do on your own. If you are just now setting up an Exchange shop, you need to be discussing these issues with your Exchange administrator. Once you connect to an exchange server, a lot changes in your profile. You should not just be adding PST files to your profile and setting them up as the default delivery location unless your Exchange administrator approves that. A lot of Exchange administrators do not want users adding PST files to their profiles. Also, the synchronization options become a lot more complex once you try to synchronize to an Exchange mailbox instead of a PST file. A lot of these utilities are third party and also need to be used in conjunction with your Exchange administrator's preferences. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Tim L. Pearson" wrote in message ...
