Er... Hello ActiveSync. This is the same device I have been syncing for a few months now... And it failed to synchronise the My Documents folder.

Not reliable, not reliable...

This is a frequent problem with ActiveSync. The best you can do is choose the top option and hope that in process of reconciling it will eliminate the duplicate entries that continuously crop up.

It actually went away after a couple of soft resets and reboots on my computer. If I had to combine the content I copy my Outlook .pst file first - just in case...

This brings back memories.
solid syncing was a big part in my reason to going to palm

it seems to me that pocketPC has more features and more abliities.. but also alot more bugs, and requires more user effort to keep it working.
