@Jesse I monitor my primary mailbox on an Exchange 2003 server which includes my calendar, contacts and inbox using MFE. I monitor a company support mailbox which resides on an Exchange 2007 server for the second mailbox – this only includes the inbox and shows up seperately in the mailbox listing. I’m not sure what would happen if you synced contacts, tasks and calendars – you’d probably see an overlap on these items.

The author says “I monitor two Exchange accounts using Mail for Exchange and Roadsync.” and I’d love more infomation on this because my understanding is that the e71 can only have one calendar, for example. Does it give you the option to merge both calendars? Or are you only syncing non-overlapping items from each exchange account? (like mail from one, calendar from another)

As a Blackberry user (2002-2005) and later WinMob user (company threw out BBs) I couldn’t believe the folder issues with my E71 (and MfE from Nokia in general). Like many users I had a set of roughly 50 Exchange rules putting messages in the right subfolders which I couldn’t see on my E71. I thougt it was a config issue until I found it was a limitation of Nokia MfE. Unbelievable. Thought about sending the phone back, which I should have done.

I don’t understand either why this should be a limitation of ActiveSync (oder https). E.g. Scalix, iPhone, WinMob use the same protocol and see all folders.

In Combination with MS Exchange “Nokia MfE” is just not a good messaging solution.

Hi Jenn,

I’m going to reserve this as somewhat correct. From what I see, RoadSync syncs the following folders at the top level:

Inbox and Junk-Email.

RoadSync can synchronize your Calendar, Contacts and Tasks.

Sent mail also gets synced to the Sent Items folder.

—

On my BlackBerry, I can see Deleted Items, Drafts, Inbox, Infected Items (created by antivirus), Junk E-mail and Spam (created by antispam)… and pretty much any other folder I choose to put in my mail tree.

On my iPhone, I can see exactly what I see with the BlackBerry so it doesn’t appear to be a limitation of the AciveSync protocol as mentioned to me by RS support.

So, please let me know if this is anomalous by RoadSync standards. I have a few Exchange servers, multiple versions for that matter, that I can try this with.

Raj,
Your comment on RoadSync sub-folder support is misleading.
RoadSync does sync email folders that are on the same level as the inbox as well as folders below the inbox.
