Hello, I have all my contacts in Microsoft Outlook 2007 and want to sync it
to a BlackBerry and back.

I was able to setup the phone to sync with the Windows Vista contacts which
is the equivalent of Windows Mail (The substitute program for Outlook
Express). They do fine talking to eachother, but now I cannot Sync Microsoft
Outlook 2007 with the famous Windows Vista Contacts. All I was able to do
was export MS Outlook 20007 to a CSV file and then import it using Windows
Mail... it did the job with some character errors and ghost spaces. Manual
fixes take forever, and yet no syncronization.

Managing contacts usint this windows vista feature is not practical. Any
suggestions?

Hi Diane,

Thanks for your input. The bundled software that came with the Blackberry
does not include the option to sync with Outlook. I just downloaded an
upgrade and will try it out....

Mail and Outlook doesn't sync. Is there a reason you aren't syncing the
blackberry with Outlook? It supports syncing with multiple folders.

Are you using BES with the corp account? Your contacts should sync along
with the mail when you use BES.

Hi Diane,

I have the problem that I can not use the Blackberry desktop software,

I try it changes my corporate email access and kills it :(

Is there any other way to get my outlook contacts over to my blackberry?

Cheers,
