Sync with server (email only) and with local PC (everything else)?
This may take a little explaining, so I apologize in advance for the wordiness of this post. Our company has supported Blackberries for a long time and has just recently added WM device support (sort of). I have an AT&T 8525. Unlike the Blackberry, WM support comes from using our webmail as the server and we set it up ourselves (enter the server in ActiveSync, set encryption and enter login/password). We just need to have a PPC phone and a data plan, both of which I have.
Currently I sync my phone with my personal PC at home, not with my company laptop, so I do not sync with a server. The company does not require me to keep a calendar on the server, so I don't, because I keep a lot of personal stuff on the calendar -- kids' games and school events, wife's meetings, etc. These are important from a family perspective, but also from a schedule perspective, since I travel a lot and try to schedule my trips around these events. I currently DO NOT sync email at all.
Since the OS upgrade on the phone, I have been using ActiveSync on the company laptop, so I could use the phone with Internet Sharing. I sync nothing with the laptop, but needed ActiveSync to enable Internet Sharing (previously, I used Cingular Connection Manager). Now for the question(s):
Can I sync only email with the webmail server and continue to sync everything else with my home PC? I would like to continue to keep my calendar, contacts, tasks, notes and files on my personal PC, but enable email on the phone from the webmail server. If it makes a difference, my personal PC is running Vista, so I use WMDC instead of ActiveSync.
If I cannot do this, is there a way to sync everything locally and with the server?
My assumption is no to both questions, but I'm hoping somebody much more clever than me has done something like this.
