I've looked for this issue but haven't found it, so please excuse me if you know of a thread which answers it. There's also nothing in MS help. Thanks to all who read this and treat me gently.:)

Firstly, I'm trying to understand why ActiveSync 4.5 has got settings for both the Windows PC and the Device (called "Tytn" in my case) under Tools>Options? I've attached an image if my description is unclear.

Then secondly, I want to know how I should have Email syncing set-up so that I have my Pocket outlook and PC outlook inboxes and sent items sync'ed.

In my Active-Sync set-up on my PC, everything except for Emails can be checked under both Windows PC and Tytn. If I have Emails ticked under Tytn, the emails in Outlook Inbox also appear on my Pocket Outlook. But I cannot place a check against Emails under Windows PC. I get the message "You cannot synchronize E-mail because it is already synchronizing with Tytn. To enable E-mail for Windows PC, clear the E-mail check box for Tytn and try again".

If I do this, I am warned that my emails will be removed from the Device. I can then check the Emails on Windows PC. If I try to check Tytn as well, I get the same message but in reverse. With the Emails ticked under 'Windows PC' none of my Outlook Inbox appears in Pocket Outlook.

I can't see the point of this option, but perhaps someone can clarify, or point me to a resource which explains everything :confused:

Cheers

It looks like you are syncing your device with two PCs? I think emails can be synced with only one pc.

If you are not syncing with two pcs, then delete the one that you are not using, and try to sync email.

Thanks for responding ai6908. It's odd because I've only ever connected the Tytn to one PC. However, on your advice I right-clicked on the Windows PC icon and selected Delete Desktop... and my dilemma is gone.

Trouble is, now it's made me wonder what that option might be for? :rolleyes:

Nice reporting on time man. ActiveSync while in the start ask if you already have profile on your PPC. So next time when you changing computer or the windows of your PPC. Remember to remove the setting from activesync by deleting mobile device that sync with activesync
