Thanks for the reply Menneisyys.

Been poking around the registry following your post and I have concluded that everything looks like it is set ok. I have been using WM2003 on my old 3870 for reference against WM2003SE on my new hx4700. There are some differences in the keys used, but overall it is very similar.

My current conclusion is that Pocket Outlook is confused about where to store attachments, but it is still not clear to me why. Like I said, all the registry settings look reasonable and all the appropriate directories and paths exist and are accessible (\Windows\Messaging\Attachments etc.).

If I try to create an E-mail message with an attachment on the PPC it says that I need to insert a storage card. The storage card is there, however and it is accessible. I even tried a different storage card (which works for the 3870 storing attachments there) as well as no storage card.

Whatever I do, going into Pocket Outlook Options, Storage tab, shows:

Main Memory (6889KB free)
Storage card (not installed)
Current size of attachments (0KB)

[ ] Store Attachments on storage card

... etc.

If I try to check the above box, it hourglasses for 30 secs and then doesn't let me move away from the tab until i clear the checkbox again.

Not sure how/why I managed to confuse Pocket Outlook about where it's attachments are, but it is definitely confused.

Well, I started with an ActiveSync problem and now it looks like a Pocket Outlook problem. I guess that's progress /:

Wondering whether to try getting the tweak program that allows you to set attachment storage locations to different places. Other than that I'm thinking, backup, hard-reset, check registry settings, restore, fix-up ... except I don't fancy that last plan if the setting is NOT in the registry!
