Outlook sync sub-folders

[mikedboyd]

Question: I have no issue syncing OTA or tethered with my Exchange 2007 server, for my Inbox main folder. I even see my sub-folders in my mailbox list, but they are empty. Someone know what I have to do to get the sub-folders to sync up with my TP2?

thanks

I wouldn't mind knowing how to do this either. Even if it only downloads the headers for "Sent Items", as an example, from the current date forward, that would be helpful.

Go to your Inbox, where you can see all your emails in front of you. Then bottom left click Menu>Tools>Manage Folders

Once in there you should be able to hit a checkbox next to whichever folders you want other than those it syncs by default. It will then download them during the next sync with whatever download settings you've set for the entire account.

Watch out if you have any rules set up for new emails. Sometimes you'll get a new email indicator and just can't find it in your inbox, to later stumble upon it in one of your newly synced folders.

Getting there. I now have new messages sync'ing from the other folders. Do you know what I need to do to pull in existing (already read) messages?

UPDATE

I marked all of the messages in my sub-folder that I wanted to sync to UNREAD. Then all of those that qualified for my sync rules (last 30 days) sync'd down. Then I marked them all as READ and sync'd again. All is now wonderful.

The information in this thread was very helpful, now I can get sent mail from my main computer onto my TP2. But email I send from my TP2 does not sync back up to my main PC. I've checked Sent Items both on the phone and on MS ActiveSync. What am I missing?

Having the same issue. Exchange 2003 shows the sent files on the HTC, but mail sent from the device does not sync back to exchange.
