    Default Syncing Multiple Contact Folders OTA

    Is there anyway to set up the BES to Sync multiple contact folders OTA? Our set up is as follows:

    - Each user has their own Contact list in Outlook
    - The company has two additional contact lists that reside in Public Folders through our Exchange Server

    I am looking for a way to set up this to sync through the BES. I have found a way to do this through the Desktop client, but in order to enable this, wireless synchronization for the Contacts would need to be disabled (which I don't want to do).

    Any and all input is appreciated.

    I'll tell you now, I've not found a way to do this. People at work ask all the time. In the users contact list have them put everything there. To keep it 'sort of' seperate they could give certain things categories. Long winded, I know...

    What about the new Chapura Folder Mirror,this looks like it could work. I have some clients who want to switch to Blackberry but need the public calendar and contact info from Exchange...

    Anything that resides in public folders you could access from your BB browser login to OWA.

    The only solution I had found for this was to use ExMerge in batch mode and export the contact lists from a dummy account (maintaining lists in outlook or OWA)... Basically, I allow them their contacts list and use Exmerge to overwrite a contacts subfolder created with the dummy account. Not sure if this is helpful, but thought I would try to help.

    I have the same issue sort of. I have a client who has 5 BB Storms and use an Exchange Public Folder for a Project Calendar and Customer Contacts. I installed BES on top of Exchange 2003 and used Add2Exchange to replicate the public calendar and contacts over to those 5 users mailbox. However the Contact list did not show up and with the amount of "customer contacts" They don't want them to be jammed into the personal contact folder.

    I'm looking for a solution.
