Please log in for more thread options Well, I went through Outlook and "changed" each birthday and anniversary (and
by that I mean I wiped out what was there, and then put in exactly what had
been there again). This apparently let Exchange re-synchronize each birthday
and anniversary with my mobile device and now they all appear to be correct
on my mobile device...very weird though!
