Sync-ing too many cards/contacts for far too long
Posted: Wed Mar 21, 2007 8:50 pm
Hello,
I am attempting to sync an unlocked T-Mobile Dash Smartphone running Windows Pocket PC 5 with my Thunderbird address book and Lightning calendar.
I have a large number of contacts in Thunderbird - approximately 2900. However, when I connect my Dash to the laptop, the sync indicates that it is sync-ing 5000 cards.
Where is this number coming from? And is it a 2-way street in terms of matching the device to the computer so that they have exactly the same contacts?
Also, syncing takes up to 12 hours. I know I need to reduce my contacts, but I estimate that when I'm done, I'll still have at least 1000.
Any advice would be very appreciated.
Thanks.
