Does anyone know how to configure the synchronization to work only 1-way? That is, I would like to use Outlook to overwrite my mobile phone at all times.

[mrking]

in the desktop manager, double click the sync icon and you can configure it in there.

couldn't edit my above post so i am adding to it... see attached image for clarification on how to do what you want to do.

Hey, great diagrams and instructions!

I actually use 2-way sync, but for future reference, when you choose IMPORT does outlook import from the BB or does BB import from outlook??

[ranjanv]

Thanks for the great instructions...it worked perfectly!

Aside to PCGirl - Import is 1-way from Outlook to Blackberry. There is an Export feature too which is probably 1-way from Blackberry to Outlook

Nice to be able to do this. I keep my sync so that handheld device over rules Outlook at all times as all I use Outlook for is a backup.

I would just like to import email addresses to my BB from Outlook but Sync doesn't seem to give me this option...is it possible (8300 Curve by the way).

It really does.

In the sync configuration, YOU choose what to sync and if the device or Outlook over rules.

It will do the entire contact and not just the email address. You would want the name and other contact info, too.

When you configure synchronization, there is a check box that says: Replace all data in the target application.

So, if I synch my calendar, One way, Device TO Outlook, what is the effect of checking that box? Thanks.

I have a question as well

My work Blackberry is set with the exchange server. I am getting calendar updates and I am receiving emails, but the problem is that my Blackberry is not syncing when I read my e-mail from the blackberry or outlook....so I am constantly deleting emails from my outlook even though I did open them or deleted them on my blackberry.

Is there anything I can set on my blackberry to fix this?

Are you telling to Blackberry to delete on Outlook AND Handheld, or just Handheld?

How do I set that up...I want to set up my BB so when ever i delete message on my handheld it is going to delete message from the outlook....same way when ever i read the message....

[pvdiamon]

That's a good question, perhaps someone else knows. I didn't have to set that up, it seemed to be a default setting. When I read mail on BB, I can push menu and then delete, and the option window pops up to delete on both, or just handheld. However if you read the mail on outlook (on your PC), you can't get it to delete on the handheld, just the other way.

Yes I am looking for that but I just have simple delete option.

If thats the way its works its fine with me.

So does this work when I read the e-mail from my handheld, will the e-mail in my outlook still be NEW or it is going to show like i have read it.
