ActiveSync only syncs fraction of Contacts & Favourites

Hi, I am using ActiveSync 4 with Windows Mobile 5 on the HTC Universal
Pocket PC.

I have 565 Contacts in Outlook, however ActiveSync only leaves about 100 on
the device after the 2nd sync (all 565 copy successfully on the 1st sync).

I also have many Mobile Favourites organised into folders on the PC. Again,
only a fraction of them ever stay on the device after the 2nd sync.

I have tried:
Deleting the partnership on the PC and PPC
Checking the Contacts filters
Copying all my Contacts on Outlook to a new folder to delete them from the
PPC
Recopying them back to Contacts to recreate them on the PPC (works until 2nd
sync)
Manually copying Favourites to the device (they appear correctly until the
next sync)
Rebooting device between all the above

Please could somebody help?

Hi,
During subsequent syncs ActiveSync is designed to only copy the changed
contacts. Also, there is no filtering with ActiveSync 4.0 and a Windows
Mobile 5.0 device. As for favorites, try dusabling favorites and then sync
and then re-enable them.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

1) I know AS only copies changed contacts. Maybe you didn't read the issue
fully, but to recap, I have 565 contacts in Outlook and only 100 or so of
them stay on the device. Not sure how this is explained by changed
contacts?

2) Filtering does work fine with AS4 and WM5. I was just saying it wasn't
the cause.

3) Tried your suggestion for Favourites. It copies fine the first time as
I said, but 2nd time it deletes half of them from the device!

Any ideas?
