Hi,
I accidentally loaded too many contacts into the phone on the first sync
from my Outllok on the PC (close to 1000) and I really only wanted a subset.
It appears I cannot multi-select and delete them on Mobile 5 smartphone. So I
thought if I deleted them in Outlook, it would delete them on the phone. But
that is not happening. I deleted most of the contacts in Outlook and it does
not delete them on ther PC. Any suggestiono on what to do. I woudl like to
clean out my contacts and start from scratch!

Hi,
Is the synchronization with Outlook completing correctly? The default is to
delete any item on the other side first as part of synchronization.

Hi,
The way it is setup, Contacts and Notes sync through the PC - the PC is
using Outloook to the Exchange server. (Calendar, Email, Tasks go directly to
Exchange - I was trying to get those working to work out acces issues - but
htta is a mObile 5 long story :-)). Yes, the sync complete successfully. I
tried stopping outllok, rebooted the machine and reconnected - now it looks
like everythig synchronized (took a long time but it did it!).

I'll post a coupel of other questions but it apears that there is some
behavior that is different when reconnecting vs. changes during a current
session.
