Hoping for some suggestions with an interesting ActiveSync problem with Outlook -
There are many contacts on my Pocket PC that never get synchronized into Outlook 2003 when I run Activesync. Those contacts just remain on the Pocket PC. And it's over half my contacts! I've noticed that if I open that contact on the Pocket PC, modify anything at all, and then resync, the contact DOES get synchronized back into Outlook. But if I don't edit it, the contact remains just on the Pocket PC and never gets into Outlook. And there's no problem in the other direction; everything I enter into Outlook does get synchronized onto the Pocket PC.
Fixes I've tried: I don't use any folders for my contacts, because I've heard that can cause synchronization problems. My contacts are put into categories, but the problem is across all categories, no one specifically. And in Contact Settings, I have selected "Synchronize all Contacts." And maybe it's worth noting that ActiveSync thinks everything is okay; it never indicates any unresolved issues. It just doesn't deal with half the contacts on my Pocket PC!
Any suggestions?
It's an HP Pocket PC 2215, Outlook 2003, and Activesync 3.7.1
