Hi All Softies...
I happen to use this Cached access using an HTTP proxy over SSL.
Now if I was to drag a few thousand items onto my mailbox they supposedly
are being synchronized onto the server. Well, Outlook chews for ever and
comes back with "all folders synchronized." BUT THEY ARE NOT.
Instead of 3,000 or so local contacts are about 400 on the server and some
File As fields has defaulted to Last First. Most of 2,000 appointments got
over BUT SOME HAVE DIFFERENT NOTES. (I know the root cause is an unreliable
Wi-Fi connection, but there is no Synchronization Error message) Remove the
caching on a second profile and it works but is like a click per minute. Can
live with that. Now to get piece of mind for daily operations:
1. If synchronization ends up corrupt without an error message, there MUST
be an error in Outlook, right? Is there a fix? I got frekin SP2 everything
tip-top.
2. So now there are items in my OST file ready to be LOST FOREVER.
2a. Can Outlook double-check its synchronization? (something any paranoid
user would use on a regular basis - like you can check a PST file for
consistency) Items that are not the same could be marked unsynchronized and
everybody happy!
2b. Can I throw away and restart synchronization (like you can do on
ActiveSync on your desktop - combine items)?
And BTW, the non-Unicode to Unicode conversion is garbage too, but the
effort to reproduce is too costly for me. Phone numbers are intermixed
between contacts and some notes fields gets filled with unicode garbage.
