Overview
The Microsoft Outlook® Add-in: Pocket Contact Synchronizer version 1.2 (PCS) helps you
synchronize contacts with devices such as your Microsoft Windows® CE or Pocket PC
device.
From any contact folder you specify, this add-in moves contacts easily to
the device you want. For example, you can synchronize a public
folder that contains team contacts. Using the Outlook PCS,
you can synchronize as many contact folders as you want.
How Outlook PCS works
The Outlook Pocket Contact Synchronizer does not synchronize contacts
directly to a device. First, it copies contacts from the folders you specify
into your default contacts folder in Outlook. This is a one-way synchronization,
and a duplicate set of contacts is created.
When you click the Outlook PCS button to synchronize, the items in
your default folder are then cross-checked with your contacts back in the
specified folder. The next time you use Microsoft ActiveSync® 3.0 or
later, your new contact data will appear on your Windows CE or Pocket PC
device.
You
can synchronize as many folders as you like, and Outlook PCS will do all the work for you.
Notes - Outlook PCS does not modify any of the items that you place in
the default contacts folder.
- Outlook PCS also does not modify any of the actual items in the folders
you specify to be synchronized.
- Outlook PCS inserts the original folder name in the Categories
field of the new items so you can sort or group by the items in Outlook.
This lets you filter the items in Pocket Outlook once they are synchronized
to your Pocket PC or Windows CE device.
- You dont need to run ActiveSync after running Outlook PCS —
you can see if Outlook PCS worked correctly by checking your default
contacts folder for new items synchronized from your specified folder(s).
Each synchronized contact should also have the name of the original folder
as a category for that item as well.
