Thanks, Chris.
Note that I'm not 'choosing' to synch the Inbox, the main option is to synch
'Email', which then forces you to synch the Inbox as a sub-option, along with
further optional mail folders, i.e. you can't turn the Inbox off. I really
only want to be able to drag a handful of posts of interest to a
briefcase-like area, not blindly synch them all -- MS don't seem to have
thought of this possibility.
One other way would be to convert e-mails of interest to calendar
appointments by just copying the mail to the calendar folder (or Tasks?),
which brings the text and attachments across, and setting it to today's date,
possibly with 0 time and Free status, or just leave it as 'all day' -- then
you could choose not to synch email at all, just the calendar... I guess you
could try to return it to the mail folders if synching back to a 2nd PC...
I guess exporting emails as RTF to a file could also work, but laborious,
and will lose info...
Thanks again for the tip tho, I'll see if I can apply a rule which will do
the trick...
