Windows 10: Sync other Outlook contact folders via Exchange to smartphone?

Hello all

I just got done installing 2016 to my PC to which I used to have 2010 and via using the MS Exchange account this all works from with my company, when I was using 2010 I somehow was able to get other Contact folders I had created besides just the primary one to show their contacts on my company cell phones contact list. Which for that I am using a Note 5 with all the latest updates.

Basically in my Outlook program I keep certain contacts in other folders other then the main one so I can keep track of them better when working with things.

So while I got those all back with the PC version as I can now connect back up to the companies exchange server, the new Outlook account on the phone (as I cannot use the old default phone email account) does not seem to be picking them up when synced as the only one it with pull anything from is the main contacts folder.

Note, in the phones options for this Outlook account it does have a check box that reads "All Contacts", and it is checked. Also I have tried the checkbox in the folders properties for allowing it to be shown as a "Outlook Address Book", but that has not made a difference.

So I don't know if this is a limitation of the Outlook account on the phone, or is there some option in the new version of 2016 Outlook on my PC that I have to check so these folders can be synced?

Thank for any help

Exchange Syncing - Outlook contacts but not exchange contacts

I am having the following issue syncing with my exchange server (2003 sp2).

My email syncs fine and if I add a contact to my outlook contacts it syncs up with my phone, however it will not sync contacts from the exchange directory. I have contacts, mail and calendars checked. What can I do to get syncing working?



Also, It works on my iPhone as well as other android phones throughout of company.



I'm using Windows 7 Phone (7.0) LG Quantum.



thanks in advance.

 

How do I sync Outlook/Exchange contacts that are in folders?

I cannot believe that this is not working with windows phone.

I run an exchange environment, and use Sync your Global Address List (GAL) to iPhone and Android devices - Epicenter Server to push contacts to my users exchange accounts and iphones.

I works great on Iphone and Android, where I can see all the contact folders/subfolders.

However on windows phone 8.0. the contacts from the exchange contact folders, are not part of the people hub.

(you can search the contact, if using the windows phone search, which will then access your exchange accounts global contacts, but that is not a solution)

Cannot add contacts personal folders to address book in Outlook 2016


Many thanks for all your suggestions, HippsieGypsie, but nothing seems to be working. I cannot delete my folder so I have to keep trying to get it included in the list of available address books. My contacts are all in the Contacts - Personal Folders, but this list is not included amongst those offered by Outlook as a default address book.
