C500 - outlook sync with ActiveSync

[Guest rannoch]

Using ActiveSync I can sync with Outlook, but I'm getting far more than I want.

For example, I open ActiveSync on PC, and select Options, tick Inbox, and then click settings.

I then have a tree list of the folders within Outlook.

I check the boxes against the folders I want to be sync'd, and that works.

The problem is that I get all the folders within the PC's Outlook - even the ones I don't need to be sync'd.

How can I get rid of these on the C500.

Why is this posted in the "Articles" forum?

What do you mean? Which folders do you get that you don't want?

[Guest rannoch]

Sorry,

I've added this to the wrong section. Can it be moved.

I have folders in Outlook on the PC which I don't want on the c500.

For example, AVG Virus Vault, Business Contacts, Junk e-mails, personal folders (this is for business use), Outbox, etc.

When I go into option 3 Outlook e-mail and then Folders I see every folder replicated on the phone. I only want specific folders on the phone. can that be done?

Outbox, inbox, sent, deleted items and drafts are there by defafult the iothers you can select. On PC ->Activesync->options->Inbox->SettingsExpand the inbox tree and just tick the boxes you want to Sync and untick the ones you don't want. - It's quite dificult to select them all as by default only the inbox is selected.

HTH

A mod should move this to the correct section, It's easily done when your new to the forums, I, on the other hand, have no such excuse when I get it wrong :lol:

Yah I moved it here. :lol:

That's the sequence I carried out the first time I sync'd using ActiveSync, and I tested the sync'd bit. ie I setup a couple of e-mails in one of the folders I wanted sync'd and one in one I didn't. The correct sync worked.

The issue iI have s that even having done the above the first time I sync'd, ALL the folders (not the contents) within Inbox copied to the phone.

Is there a way to stop that, or delete, or hide folders on the phone.

PS Thanks for moving item.

Sorry, you are right, I hadn't actually noticed before but all the folders are there (just empty) and there doesn't appear to be a way of deleting them.

I just ignore them. Why is it a major problem for you? A bit of a pain having to move between folders but nothing that annoys me personally.

[Guest rannoch]

I've noticed an option which might assist.

Start/Messaging/Outlook E-Mail/menu/folders/menu/

at this point you get two options "Show All Folders" and "Manage Folders".

The "Manage Folders" is greyed out.

Is this a way of hiding the unwanted folders.
