Outlook 2007 Notes does not appear as an option to Sync. Is this normal?
I have checked all the obvious places for settings but it appears only the following can be sync'd:
Contacts, Calendar, e-Mail, Tasks, Mobile Favourites and MS Office OneNote.
Is there another solution to this, or have I got it set up wrong?
Cheers,

Are you synchrosing with Outlook directly or with Exchange Server?

You wouldn't have Notes sync to Exchange, but it should still list Notes sync as an option to the local Outlook, even if connected to a server.

I sync my Notes directly with Outlook on both home (Vista) and office laptops (W2K).
Notes does not appear as an option in the Sync Contents setting on either machine.

On further research, it appears that Notes will only appear as an option for Pocket PCs and not Smartphones. 3rd-party software like Phatnotes or SmartPhoneNotes is recommended.
Also recommended is to convert all Notes to OneNotes, which is included in Office 2007.

Sigh.....

That's correct. Windows Mobile Smartphone (Windows Mobile 6 Standard) does not have Notes sync.

After more online research, found a tool that converts all Outlook Notes to OneNotes:

Apologies if this is not allowed in the forum.
