iPhone sync with other than Outlook "Contacts" directory

Question

iPhone sync with other than Outlook "Contacts" directory

Does anyone know if it's possible to choose a different Outlook "Contacts" directory other than the main "Contacts" to sync with? For instance, "Personal Contacts"?

Hi Microsoft Defector,

You can create a folder in Outlook, with the contacts you want synced to the iPhone. Then choose Sync Selected Contacts on the Info tab in iTunes.

The iPhone User Guide provides more detailed information about syncing the iPhone.

That's the problem. Nothing shows up but "Outlook", although I have several "Personal Contacts" folders defined in Outlook. The options are "Outlook", "Google", "Yahoo", etc. Nothing that drills down to folders within Outlook.

Am I missing something?
