  1. Will Sync2 work after support of Google Sync ends on January 30, 2013?ClosedYes, Sync2 will work after Google Sync End of Life and as long as Google supports their Calendar, Contacts and Tasks API. We are not responsible for Google actions in the event they decide to cancel their APIs.

  2. Do Distribution Lists propagate to other PCs?ClosedYes, Distribution Lists propagate to other synchronized PCs.

  3. Do I initiate synchronization from one computer or from all?ClosedYou should initiate synchronization from one computer.

  4. What is the difference between "Sync" and "Sync all" buttons in main Sync2 window?ClosedYou can create as many synchronization profiles as you want with Sync2.

  6. Does Sync2 synchronize the category list?ClosedNo, Sync2 doesn’t synchronize the Outlook category list itself, but the categories of the items are synchronized.

  7. I have synchronized my Outlook folders, but only some items were synchronized. How do I synchronize all items?ClosedBy default Sync2 has filters for synchronization. You might want to remove them in Sync2 > Settings > Data Folders and Filters tab. Select each folder that you synchronize and click "Edit Filter..." button. Then remove or change the filters according to your needs.

  8. Can I synchronize any synchronized folder with my PDA or Pocket PC?ClosedAny folder synchronized with Sync2 folder can be synchronized with PDA or Pocket PC. But usually the synchronization software (e.g. Microsoft ActiveSync) allows synchronizing only standard Outlook folders, i.e. Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Inbox and Notes. You can’t synchronize any other folders or sub-folders.
