How do I sync Outlook 2003 / MSN Premium / PocketPC / ActiveSync 4

[CO_Mark]

Hello,
How do I sync my MSN calendar, which I get using the outlook connector
(v1.7), with a pocketPC using MS activesync 4.2? The PocketPC is using MS
Windows mobile 5.1. Activesync seems to only want to sync the calendar in the
'personal folders' and not my '(e-mail address removed)' folders.

The goal is to
share calendar with support staff - works OK using MSN calendar
sync pocketPC's calendar app with the shared calendar - not working

I've been going in circles over this and any help would be appreciated ...

As synching using Activesync only works on the default message store, you
will need to make the MSN mailbox the default.

The only email account that I have on this machine is the MSN MAPI account,
which is the default. Is this what you mean by the 'default message store'?

In your folder tree, how many message stores do you show?

As synching using Activesync only works on the default message store,
you will need to make the MSN mailbox the default.

And don't you need Outlook Live to be able to do that?
