Ok...some guru has got to explain this to me....i used to have a
motorola
mpx220 smartphone running an older version of windows mobile.
i think i was
using activesync 3.8(?) --- it allowed me to select which
contacts i wanted to
sync from outlook to my phone. now i buy a
"blackjack" running WM 5.0 and have
upgraded to the lastest Activesync
4.5 BUT THE SETTING BUTTON FOR CONTACTS IS
ALWAYS "GREYED OUT"!!!
thus, i cannot specify which contacts to sync to my
phone (i end up
getting ALL of them). how could the newer versions not allow
this but
is worked perfectly on the older version? someone, somewhere must know
how to "ungrey" the settings button. please help - jesse

Unfortunately, Microsoft removed the "categories" option for Widows Mobile 5
devices from ActiveSync 4.x.
No chance to "ungrey" this option but it might come back with a later
version. However, this isn't confirmed so far but Microsoft is aware of it,
that users want to get categories support back.
