Outlook Express sync problem: missing fields in phone

Beitrag von filip_hoeven »

Very good job writing this application!

I tried the synchronize with Outlook Express in both directions yesterday.
But each time I run the synchronisation, it asks for a number of contacts what to do:
1) Use the Outlook Express contact
2) Use the Phone contact
3) Do not synchronize this contact anymore

I guess the reason is the fact that a field is filled in Outlook Express that isn't available on my Phone, namely the "Address" field.
If I choose 1), it asks the same question at the next synchronisation.
If I choose 2), I'll loose the address field (I guess, didn't try)
Choosing 3) is not an option if you'd like to synchronize...

I would expect that fields that aren't available on the phone are just ignored during synchronisation.

Any idea?

- Model of phone: T630
- Type of connection: Bluetooth
- MPE-version: 1.6
- Windows version WinXP-SP2

There are only a few phones which supports no address and these phones are very old. I don't make an exeption for these few phones that the address is not compared.

about Job title when syncing with Outlook

Beitrag von Ahti »

I have similar situation, except with the job title field.

I first synchronized phone and Outlook with Sonyericcson PC Suite. After that both on phone and Outlook there's "John Doe" on name field and "manager" on Job title field.

Now, if I sync with MPE the confirmation window gives a lot of entries with the following difference:
on phone: "manager John Doe"
on Outlook: "John Doe"... the "manager" is not showed, but it does exist.

My question is: if I continue to sync will the names on Outlook be changed to "manager John Doe"? OR will the "John Doe" and "manager" stay on the correct field both on phone and Outlook ?

My phone is K530i, software version is most recent.

MyPhoneExplorer copies
Firstname to firstname
Lastname to lastname
Title to title

You get this diffrent appereance cause you choosed to include the Title in the Displayname but this should make no diffrence for syncing.
