Hello All,

I asked this question in a general forum, but I am asking it again here. I am hoping that someone can help me out.

My first issue is with email. The PDA syncs with my Outlook Email. That is fine and dandy.... if I am at my computer. But there is NO way to check those same accounts, and keep it all synced! Or am I wrong? In my single Outlook profile, on the PC, I have 3 accounts. My ISP, my business website, and my Gmail. All 3 accounts to one single inbox; it works great. But I can't do that on the PDA. I have to create the 3 separate accounts. Furthermore, HOW am I supposed to keep all of that synced up with my Outlook mail??? When you create an account on the PDA, how can you sync a created account with your Outlook inbox? Is there a setting I am not finding? As far as I am seeing, the only thing that will sync is the "Outlook E-Mail" account?

So, let's say I set up my ISP email account on the PDA. If I am on my college campus (which is completely wireless), and I am connected to my ISP email account, and download some messages as well as reply to messages, there is no way to sync those sent messages up with the main Outlook account, is there? Am I missing something here? I can choose to not delete messages (and therefore leave them on the server), so that when I get home I can do a Send/Receive and download the new msgs on my PC. But I am not seeing a possible way to sync up the sent messages. Am I missing something? From the PDA, why is the Send/Receive and Connect buttons greyed out in the main Outlook account? If you create an account on the PDA, how do you sync it with Outlook on your PC? As far as I see, this cannot be done.

The second problem is with my contacts. Is there any way to get the PDA to sync with contacts other than those that are within the Contacts folder? I don't actually use this folder. I have about 6 subfolders created that I use to organize all of my contacts! What am I supposed to do? Just dump all of them in to the Contacts folder? My quick fix was to assign all the contacts a category (whose name matches the folder it is in), dump them all in the Contacts folder, and that way at least I can sort them by category on the PDA. Is there a better way?

Thank you very much in advance for your help!
