Viewing different Outlook Contact lists
 

I have used Microsoft Outlook from two different sources - originally for
Microsoft ActiveSync for contacts on my PDA and then for a remote webmail
account. After my webmail account was reconfigured, when I open Microsoft
Outlook I see only the contacts from the webmail account. I can't find my
way to my contacts in the Microsoft ActiveSync account that are on my PDA.
Any suggestions for ways to switch from viewing Microsoft Outlook from one
source to viewing Outlook from the other source?
Thanks!

First, Outlook cannot access "webmail". Webmail, by definition, is a mailbox
you access using a web browser. Outlook can access POP, Exchange, IMAP, or
Hotmail/MSN servers, not web servers. What is the actual type of account for
whatever this "webmail" is? Also, what version of Outlook are you using?

Second, ActiveSync ALWAYS syncs with your delivery location (i.e., default)
folders. It cannot access anything else. If you have ActiveSync correctly
configured with a partnership to the PC, then it will access the default
delivery locaiton of the default mail profile, the default delivery location
in the mail profile you specify when it starts, ot the delivery location of
the open mail profile, if Outlook is running.
