If i set the schedule to manual, do i achieve the same as you have noted. Obviously i need the setting so i cannot delete them as you describe. My concern is that deleting as you describe actually stops AS from loading but in my setup i guess it will load but only sync when i say so? Hope i am making sense - thanks
Aha! This is something I was going to mention, but didn't because of lack of experience with an Axim and an Exchange Server. I think I'll put a little note in about this.

One question - do you actually have power on problems etc? If not I'd leave everything as it is.

If you do have problems with powering on etc then you could set the sync to manual and just sync whenever you need to, and not let the Axim do it automatically.

This does defeat the object of having an Exchange server though. In cases such as this I suppose you need to weigh up the alternatives:

1. Suffer powering up problems/missing CF&SD cards but Activesync syncs automatically to download mail etc.

2. Cure the power/CF&SD card problems but have to manually sync.

Neither is ideal, but it will have to do until Dell fix it properly I suppose. Anyone else have experience with this?
