Question possible to use Business Connection for Contacts, Calendar, and Email syncing??

I am trying to synch email, calendar and contacts from my Outlook client at work to my new PPC 6700 using Sprint's Business Connect Personal Edition.

My desktop mail client is Outlook 2003, but I do not have Exchange at work. My mail connection at work is POP3.

I have installed Business Connect and have it configured for POP3, but on my phone I have ended up with multiple mailboxes (accounts) -- one that appears to be from "over-the-air" synching, and another from when I sync at my desk with the cradle (using Active Synch).

Anyone know how I could tweak this thing to end up with ONE maibox on my phone -- one that has all of my inbox (perhaps my sent and deleted) plus my calendar and contacts?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For the inbox that sync when using AcitveSync (AS), that will always be there. It is built into the 6700 and is not removable. You can disable it in the AS properties from your PC so that it will not sync the emails but you cannot delete the actual account.

Business Connection (BC) does not sync your contacts, you will continue to have to use the builtin Contacts application on the 6700 to do that. BC will sync your email wirelessly as well as your calendar. BC cannot sync your sent items or deleted items folder. You can setup the the builtin inbox that I talked about in the previous paragraph to sync only sent items and deleted items, however, and then have BC sync your inbox. They will not be in the same account, however.

It is not possible to have 1 single mailbox for email, contacts, and calendar if you want to use BC. BC can do email inbox and calendar. You will need to use the 6700's builtin apps for syncing sent/deleted items and contacts.
