I forgot to mention: I'm syncing up 2 weeks of messages, full messages,
attachments set to go to the storage card for anything under 5000 Kb. Also I
never had this probelm before with my iPaq 3900 using active sync 3.7. I've
deleted and creatd the partnership about 7 times. I've change the Active Sync
settings on the MDA to "keep the item on the device" in the event of a
conflict in hopes this would preserve my folders' sync settings but still no
luck.
