Hey All,
I have my device set up pretty well but I seem to be having an issue with my Active Sync/WMDC using MS Exchange as a the server.
The problem I'm having is being able to select the folders to sync. In WMDC on Windows 7 if I go into my "Change Content Sync Settings" and then select folders to sync, I see most of my folders but not all. The one I'm having specific issues is with drafts. The folder is not shown at all.
If I go into my HD2 to try and change in Active Sync, I dont seem to be able to edit the folder tree at all. I've also been into account settings on the email tab and the sync options but I'm calling no joy with that.
Any ideas for me please? TIA

I'm using ActiveSync 4.1 and was wondering whether it is possible to select what to sync in Outlook? The reason for this is I have numerous calenders, contact folders and notes, which I normally separate into personal and business.
use groups ?
Is this groups within Outlook or ActiveSync? I can't find any option for this.
The sync'ing software I've used in the past for SonyEricsson's and Nokia's allowed me to choose which "folders" to sync. I'm a bit surprised ActiveSync doesn't have anything similar.
Once you've performed your initial connection with your device in AS, you can configure your sync preferences in the options for your connection once you've established the relationship between device & host (your computer) by going to Tools -> Options in the ActiveSync application window. You can select a category of data (Calendar, E-Mail, etc) and provided the option has more configurable settings, hit Options to fire up that dialog box.
The quickest way (at least the quickest I can see, as it requires no initial connection before configuration) is to go onto your device, go into ActiveSync, go Menu -> Options and select which items you'd like to sync with your device there.
I can see the option on both my phone and ActiveSync to sync which Outlook component but I'd like to be able to choose exactly which subfolder to sync. For example I have 3 contacts folders and 2 calender folders in my Outlook profile but I only want to be able to choose which folders to sync. Not sure if I have explained this clearly...
I think ActiveSync will only sync the main folder in Outlook. So if you have 2 calender folders it will only sync the main one. You can choose what date range (past week, past 2 weeks etc..) and which sub folders in mail.

Just tried creating a second calender folder and put some meetins in. ActiveSync did NOT sync these to my PDA.
Possibly one of the programs here might do what you need: http://pocketpccentral.net/software/sync.htm

Thanks for the advice Gav, I'll have a look at pocketpccentral.
Hi,
The HD2 is my first HTC-phone, i like it so far, but i'm searching for a way to sync more folders than just my inbox using Exchange/Outlook-mail.
On my old phone (WM 6.1) i could go to folder-options (or something like that, i'm using the dutch version) and was able to select and deselect more folders.
I cannot find it on this phone, is this a WM 6.5 or a HTC-sense issue ?
(or maybe my own )
Regards,
Martin.
Just got mine on O2 - cant find the option either!
Did you have any joy??
go into your outlook inbox..select tools, then manage folders, then you can check all the folders you want sync'd
I've selected the folders I wanted to Sync on both my GMAIL and Google Apps account but it only downloads messages from Inbox. How do you get it to sync your sent mail and other folders?
Has anyone got extra folders syncd?
I am syncing a lot of folders in Outlook with our Exchange Server. As twisted-pixel wrote then you need to open Outlook E-mail and select Menu, then select Functions and then Manage Folders. The options Functions cannot be seen on the screen and you need to scrool down to it (It took me some time to find it )
In the Manage Folders screen you are able to select the folders you want to synchronize.
I've connected my phone to PC for the first time after a hard reset,and now I see Outlook along with my Hotmail acc on the Mail tab on manila..I try to" Delete Account -- Outlook" and the colored windows icon turns forever and nothing happens. I tried to delete it from Mail Settings,but delete icon is gray and i cannot delete..
What can I do
It's because you've selected it as one sync options in Windows Mobile Device Center.
Start Windows Mobile Device Center and under "Mobile Device Settings" select "Change content sync settings" uncheck E-Mail in that list, and it will delete the outlook account from your phone.
Goodluck.
Thanks so much

I know that I've tried it once and even deleted my partnership and my Outlook E-mail account was still on the device. Then if I set up a new partnership I would always have conflicts; old appointments / reminders appearing all the time, WMDC would always ask to resync the entire partnership, if I have a lock password I would always have to enter it whenever I connect the device to the pc.
The only way for me to fix it was to do a hard reset and start over.
Is there a way to synch ONLY the 'sent items' folder via ActiveSync or do you have to also keep copies of the various messages from Outlook also on your phone?
Bump. Anyone?
connect phone to pc, on pc open windows mobile device center, click mobile device settings - change content sync settings - email sync settings - untick the folders you dont want and tick those you do (sent items in this case)
Sorry, I think I didn't express that well. I want to synchronize only the sent items from my phone to Outlook on the desktop so that I can preserve any replies I send from the road while having the original message downloaded to my desktop when I return home. The settings you describe will only synch MS Outlook items with the 'Outlook' folder on my PC, and the accounts I set up on my phone do not appear in the folder tree to be selected. So that configuration won't work for me.
It seems that no combination of what I want is possible with the current software, yet I can't believe I'm the only one with this need.
Let me explain.
I use Outlook on my desktop and only use the phone for reading and replying to messages on-the-fly. Knowing that I will have a copy of the POP message on my laptop (which serves as my home pc also) when I get back at night, I only want to file and keep a copy of any replies I make from the road. My hope was to have any sent items uploaded to my laptop, I can run rules on MS Outlook to autofile to their respective folder structures, and I'm done - both received POP messages and their corresponding replies are preserved.
I own a copy of FlexMail, but it won't synch with Outlook, so that's not a solution. And there doesn't seem to be anything else out there that'll do what I need.
Any thoughts?
Bump. Anyone?
Guys, just to reiterate the question...
How would you get (move/copy/backup) messages from the local email accounts you set up on your HD2, to your Outlook PST on the desktop?
I have created several folders in my Outlook 2007 pc in order to keep my e-mail organized. Appart from the default folders I have a "pending items" folder, a "client A" folder, "company B" folder, etc. These folders show up in my phone's outlook, but their contents don't. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.
In the Activesync window which pops up on your PC when there's a syncronisation taking place, click on 'email', then the 'select folders' button, and then select the folders and subfolders you want to syncronise. Then click 'okay' and go on to complete the options (eg download all, last week/month/day et), and click okay. It should save your settings, and then sync the device. Works for me, and I have all the mail appearing in the folders as selected.
It worked! Thank you so much!
Sounds great... Always wanted this solved...
However I have never/don't want to use Activesync software on my PC. Everthing I do is over the air (e.g. flash a ROM, set-up the email account settings, and go). I can't find a similar option on the HD2 app - any suggestions?
Thanks!

Goto the inbox of the e-mail account in the e-mail tab, providing your settings are for IMAP or Exchange then you can go to options and select which folders you want to sync. If however you are just using POP/SMTP then it only reads from the email provider's inbox.
