I got the bright idea of making 2 more Contacts folders so that I could be
better organized. I decided not to use the old Contacts folder and
instead
was putting changes in the two news one, which would be used for different
purposes. The reason I came up with this is so that I could get around
using
categories (temporarily) because a lot of them disappeared for some
unknown
reason. Any, now the problem is that in order for me to set up Contacts
to
be tracked in the Journal, I have to use the Contacts folder I initially
had (the default folder), and Windows Mobile (for my Motorola Q) uses only
the default folder for its sync...so now I want to copy all the Contacts
from
the two new folders BACK to the original Contacts folder so I can use just
that one. How can that happen without mass duplication issues? And can
it
be done by just copying the whole Contacts folder from one to the other,
or
do I have do go in and choose each one? Thank you! What a mess.
