Outlook and ActiveSync have a mind of their own!

I've noticed two things that after trolling this AWESOME board I can't seem to fix.

AcitveSync: I don't mind that it's ALWAYS running in the backround of my Touch. What I do mind is that it's always syncing. I've tried several of the tricks to stop it. Like creating a Fake/Bogus Exchange server and setting ActiveSync to run manually. I've also tried setting it to only sync with USB connection. The problem I have is that when it's syncing with the PC, my PC slows down for about a minute as does my Touch rendering it virtually useless one out of every 6 mintues. I read about a Replog registry edit, but I'm not comfortable editing the registry without a .cab file.

Outlook for PPC: Randomly deleting emails after a couple days. I've been to XDA/PDAPhoneHome/Googe trying to see why I'm the only person I know having this problem. Literally after a couple of days my inbox just deletes emails. They're not in archives, in the trash folder or anywhere. I'm using a Pop3 account from Bellsouth and I always leave the read emails on the server.

Thanks for your help with this.

So I installed the ActiveSYNC Toggle .exe from Micrologics. It's supposed to de-activate the Auto Syncing of AS when disabled. It works "sort of". When I put the Touch into the Cradle that's connected via USB, it syncs automatically and is a total resource hog for the phone!!!!! Once syncing is complete, AS can be disabled until you pull the phone from the cradle and have to reconnect which starts the process over again. I can't believe I'm the only one having this problem. I used to be a huge palm os advocate, but made the switch to this phone and I'm only having two major problems that I just can't seem to get fixed. I even tried FlexMail - which was buggy on my phone. If I could get Outlook for WM to stop "eating" my emails randomly and if I could get AS to work manually (like HotSync from Palm) I'd be extatic. Thanks so much for the insight!!!!!!

I have active sync start when ever it goes into roam. I don't like activesync running when it sin't needed.
