Sync with Outlook problems

Question

I have a couple questions about synchronizing Outlook with the Nokia N80 using Nokia PC Suite 6.81. First, I have different subfolders under the Contacts list in Outlook. I want to sync all my contacts to my phone; however every time I sync, I can only sync one contact folder (or subfolder) at a time. When I want to sync the outlook with the phone, I want ALL my subfolders to sync over at the same time. Not just the main contacts folder, or the individual subfolders. If I have 3 subfolders, then the only way to get all contacts in the folder is to sync 3 times and change the source folder each time. Do you know any possible function or way of syncing the contacts on Outlook and my phone all at once? Furthermore, do you know if I can keep the same groups once the data has reached the phone, e.g.: the Friends subfolder in Contacts goes to the Friends group on the phone.
When I sync the Contacts, there’s another catch: I want to fill out the contact form as thoroughly as possible (e.g. the entire phone numbers, faxes, email and postal addresses, as much info as possible) however, when I sync it to the phone, I only want the phone numbers and the email addresses to sync. Is there some type of filter or default setting that I can change in either Outlook or PC Suite so that only certain fields can be synchronized, NOT all the contact info.
I know it's a lot, but thank you all for your time. It really means a lot.

Good questions, unfortunately you have met the limitations in PC Sync. It can only synchronise one database (the contacts folder in Outlook) with another databse (phonebook in phone) at a time.
I am sure you are using one way sync so that updates happen only from Outlook to phone.
The categories and groups in Outlook and phone is worse, I think. It would be nice to synchronise them, but the logic is so different in phone and Outlook that it may be very difficult to offer.
In outlook you should select a predefined category to a contact, but in phone you create a group and the name of that group can be anything, and you add contacts there. So it would be difficult to synchronise.
