Solved synch problem with iphone 2.0 outlook 2007, win XP Pro and Mobile Me

Question

I've been struggling with this mobile me business, and I hope that I solved it for me and therefore for you. I have the components listed above. I noticed that my iphone was no longer synching to outlook '07. Can't remember if that was before or after I updated to iphone 2.0 Regardless, neither the dock nor the mobile me synch worked. ( It would go through the motions of the synch, but then when I went to look at the phone, it had not changed at all. )
In reading the posts, it appeared that all of the solutions pointed toward a corruption in the pst file. Most of the solutions are based on the fact that there is some item in the calander section ( or the contacts) data that is corrupt. Fortunately, I have a proprietary calander in my office and I use outlook as the conduit for getting that info onto my iphone through itunes. So, I deleted all of the appointments in outlook and then tried to synch a blank outlook with the iphone and it worked! So, all I had to do was then resynch my office proprietary software back to outlook ( which worked ok) and now it's working fine. In fact, that solved the mobile me issue as well....
So, I hope this helps you out there..eveyone's case is different, but it does appear that if you've reinstalled itunes, reinstalled outlook and tried everything else, that the problem resides in the pst file and there is some appointment or contact that itunes does not like.
Hope this helps.
