WinCE synch w/ Public Exchange Folders ?

[Sharon Smyth]

Is it possible to synchronize a "public folder" of companywide contacts on an Exchange/NT LAN with an HP Jornada 545?

Hello Sharon,

Unfortunately Microsoft doesn't have a way to synchronize Public Folders on handheld devices at this time. That would be an incredible amount of memory to pull Public Folder info.

Here is the official word from Microsoft:

In Pocket Outlook, the only Offline folder is the Inbox folder. Any messages you store in other folders are not synchronized.

Best regards,

Hi Sharon,

It looks like there are some new 3rd party tools on the market that will allow you to sync up to your Exchange Public Folders. I haven't had any experience with them but I just saw this and remembered your posting.
