Default Distribution Lists with Outlook Connectot Beta and Outlook 2003

I would expect that behavior. DL's are fragile items that have never
survived transfer to a different data store.

I am using Outlook Connector Beta with Outlook 2003 (recently upgraded
from
Outlook 2000) and Live! Hotmail.

I copied my Outlook Contacts folder to the Local Hotmail Contacts folder.

After synchronisation had completed all my contacts had been uploaded
correctly to Live! Hotmail.

But my Distribution lists were empty in both the Local and Live and
Hotmail
folders. (I had previously checked that the contacts were in the
Distribution Lists before synchronisation.

Just to be sure there was a problem a created a new Test distribution list
in the Connector Contacts folder.

Again after synchronisation both versions of the distribution list were
empty.

If I create a test distribution list on Live! Hotmail it gets correctly
synchronised to the Outlook copy.

ie the synchronisation isn't working correctly in the upwards direction -
creating an empty list which then gets synced back down!

Is this a bug or an intentional limitation?
