Subfolders

I currently run Exchange Service Pack 1 and have Windows 2003 Mobile SE devices

I am planning on moving to Service pack 2 and replacing our devices with
windows mobile 5 phones (the 8125 wizard)

I have a question on subfolders

Everywhere I see on the Microsoft site, online and power point slides and
whitepapers it states that OTA Activesync support syncing subfolders?

But I have read posts and talked to people who say the folders are listed in
a tree when choosing folders view but there is no synced data in them.

Does Exchange 2K3 with SP2 and Windows Mobile 5 have the ability to sync
subfolders? I have people who have tons of subfolders and want this
functionality/

If it does not support subfolders then why does Microsoft trumpet that it
can time and time again??

Just looking for a straight answer

Thanks

It depends on what you mean by subfolders. Subfolders in email (on the
server and in outlook) can be synchronized using OTA activesync. Subfolders
in Contacts cannot. There is at least one third party application out there
that allows users to synchronize multiple levels of contacts, but I can't
remember the name offhand.

I have had no problem synchronizing multiple levels of subfolders on my
server. Public folders, however, are a different story.

Good luck.

subfolders for inbox using OTA activesync

I have 2 people right now that have a windows mobile 5 device (8125) and
there subfolders are listed but there is nothing in them?

keep in mind I am still at exchange server pack 1

do I need service pack 2 for this to work with inbox subfolders? are there
settings I am am missing on the server or the device that will make
subfolders syncing work? as I said they have no data in the folders

Thanks Beverly but not sure how that link was supposed to help? Did not find
any information on syncing folders using OTA Activesync with windows mobile
etc

And the site had mostly stuff from like 2002 (not very useful)

I would rather you had sent me a microsoft link/whitepaper on syncing inbox
subfolders

Like I said they seem to trumpet that they can sync subfolders but I have
yet to see this on any device and I have a few client sites some with
EXCHANGE2K3SP2 with WM5 and some with SP1 and WM5 and Windows Mobile 2003

All I am asking is since Microsoft says its possible to sync inbox
subfolders using OTA Activesync then where are the details?

This is a activesync question really not a WM5 question so I believe I am in
the correct place?

How to sync Inbox subfolders:

Are the settings on the device?
Are the settings in exchange?
Are there requirments like mobile OS level or service pack?
What are the configurations to set this up?
Is there a document covering all of these points?

Note: This does not seem (at least to me) to work as stated out of the box
with no addtional settings...
