Entourage 2004 - filter folders for synching?

S

Scott Dunn

I can't get Entourage to respect my settings for synchronizing my mailbox.
Via Outlook at work I set a category ('Archived Mail') on all folders that I
want to exclude from synchronization. In the Exchange account preferences on
the Advanced tab I specify "synch all except those in the
category...'Archive Mail'"

It doesn't make any difference, Entourage still insists on downloading all
items contained within those folders.

Any suggestions?

The wording in the Exchange account settings isn't clear. First, Entourage
does not sync (or even look at) categories defined on the Exchange account;
the categories it is referring to are the ones in Entourage. Second, the
restricted category sync only works for contacts and calendar items. There
is no way to prevent Entourage from syncing all mail (though you can
restrict it to partially download each message if you prefer).

HTH.
