ActiveSync - advanced question

[Junner2003]

Does anybody know a way / hack to get even the SENT MAIL folder synchronized in my PDA with OUTLOOK? Since it is possible to synchronize additional folders (except SENT :mad: ) there might be a way I haven't found yet! :)

It is nice that I can synchronize my INBOX but finally it is only the half of the email! Would be nice to have my OUTBOX in the PDA up-to-date as well to know on the go what I wrote back! :D

A bit of a workaround, but, why not create a new folder in Outlook, and have sent items automatically moved to this folder, which can then by synced with your device?

(Not sure how easy it is to automatically redirect sent items, though, but this approach would remove the need to hack ActiveSync at all)

Yeah, I thought of that too.

2 reasons why I did not really go on with that:
1. The PDA screen is relative small and by having only a few email accounts set up on that device, adding additional folders makes it very 'unhandy'.
2. It would require me each time to copy my sent mails in to the new folder in order to get synchronized with the PDA, which takes again several more steps each time I write an email.

I just wonder why MS did not allow users to synchronize the SENT folder too?

You should be able to do this with a rule, as I understand it. Far from ideal, though.

That is correct you can syncronize your sent Items Folder as I do there is an option in Messaging Options that you can select which folders you want to be syncronized. For my Corporate mail my Sent Items are syncronized.
