Outlook contact file?
Sorry if this isn't right place to ask but after synchronizing my Windows
Mobile phone via ActiveSync with MS Outlook on my desktop machine what's the file name and location that all of the contact information gets stored in on my pc?...is it some type of .pst file that I can simply copy/paste to another drive location? Thanks in advance. |

Outlook contact file?
It's the same as it always was. Syncing doesn't create a new PST file or
change its location. http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/...questions.aspx -- Russ Valentine "." wrote in message ...

Outlook contact file?
Cool, thanks :-) Just a quick one, I'm not too fond of ActiveSync in
general and was wondering on recommendations as alternatives? I notice "PPCPIMBackup" sofware was mentioned a bit on the web and was wondering if this was a good reliable one or any others?

Outlook contact file?
Good question, but not one you'll likely find answered in an Outlook group.
Syncing is not an Outlook operation, so you'd be better off posting this in one of the ActiveSync or Windows Mobile groups. Don't worry. Even though Microsoft hosts these public newsgroups, to their credit they do not monitor or censor their contents, so you'll get honest opinions from other end users of other sync software. Heaven knows we certainly beat Outlook up around here, and they haven't kicked any of us out of the groups so far. They may not want you for an MVP, but they don't kick you out. -- Russ Valentine "." wrote in message ...

Chapura used to make a Windows Mobile sync tool, but they've abandoned the Windows Mobile platform. Except for ActiveSync and Windows Mobile Device Center, I don't know of many Windows Mobile sync tools that will handle the entire range of Windows Mobile features (calendar, contacts, tasks, notes, e-mail). Google Apps has a calendar sync tool. Laplink has PDAsync (http://www.laplink.com/pdasync/) . Some mobile devices come with sync software tailored for the device. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
