Windows Mobile Device Center doesn't sync with MSN Premium Accounts using Outlook Connector

Windows Mobile Device Center doesn't sync with MSN Premium Accounts
using Outlook Connector:

My upgrade to Vista was going well until I came across this.

I have an MSN Premium account which I access using the Outlook
Connector through Outlook 2003. I sync this up (mail, calendar,
contacts) with my smartphone using ActiveSync 4.x and a USB
Connection.

Everything worked great and I had an integrated mail, calendar,
contacts solution accessible from my smartphone, windows live mail and
outlook.

I migrated to Office 2007 and Vista I installed Outlook Connector for
my MSN Premium account. I set the MSN account to be the default in
Outlook 2007, removed the 'personal folders', and then ran Windows
Mobile Device Center. Everything appears to run ok however when I try
sync I'm told there is an error - no more detail. (It appears to not
find the default *.pst/*.ost file)

If I remove the MSN Premium account and set the 'personal folders' to
be the default account then the sync will work.

What I expected was to be able to continue using my MSN Premium
account in Outlook and easily sync all the mail, contacts and calendar
with my smartphone easily using sync features.

Synching is outside the ability of Outlook to affect. It is totally up to
the sync softwarem, so you might be better off asking in
m.p.windows.vista.general or m.p.windows.vista.networking_sharing
