Sent Items are not sync'd

I have a Palm 800w, with WM 6.1 and Outlook 2003 on XP home.

In Activesync on the PC, the Sent Items folder is checked for syncing. I
can't see a similar thing on the Palm; in "Manage Folders", "folder options"
is greyed out for all of the folders.

I found a similar problem solved for folders in the Inbox but that approach
doesn't seem to work here.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Well, that link is for Vista; from the looks of it, I'm glad I'm still on
XP.

The word from Sprint is that activesync will only sync sent / replied mail
with an Exchange Server. What a lame piece of junk!

I still think it's junk, for this and many other reasons. I get my email
just fine with phone, pulling it off my mail server. I can send just fine
also; I'm not trying to sync the outbox. I'd just like to update Outlook at
the end of the day so that my emails are all stored in one place.

Someone else reported using bcc to get mail onto their main Outlook
computer. I guess that's the route to take, but it's stupid.
