[apple-iphone] Re: Sync Problem

I use this method of split synching for address books and calendars.

We are on an active sync server and once an email account is removed from an iphone, that also removes their active sync addresses and calendar.

To sync back to their iphone, I just have their addresses and calendar exported as .pst files, import those files into an outlook stand-alone program and sync just the addresses and calendar back to their iphone.

This works great.
