So, I've been using Outlook 2010 Beta for a couple of months, and have not been able to sync my phone. Drives me CRAZY, but at least I'm still backing up with BBSAK.
Anyone know anything about this? Any way to manually sync with my backed up files? Any plug-ins or updates?
Thanks!!

Ugh!:bigeyes2: So, you uninstalled 2010 --> installed 2007--> reinstalled 2010 over 2007.Quote:

Sorry for all the questions, but I want to make sure I get it right!
Thanks for the help!

Your original PST file was 'upgraded' when you installed 2010 from 2007. I ran 2007 for a while after having used 2010 and when I ran 2007, I got a message saying something like the PST file was created with a newer version, but it still worked. I have been running this way now since I got my new laptop back in December. I sync at least a couple of times a day and haven't had any issues.
I don't believe it will delete your PST files during this operation but I would suggest you back up just in case.
Let me know if you further clarification.
