How do I specify the name of a calendar or contacts folder I created in Exchange?

  • Exchange
  • Contacts
  • Calendar Events

If you have created an Exchange calendar or contacts folder, you'll need to specify the calendar or contact folder's pathname, not just its "simple" name, when using setting up. The Setup assistant automatically handles this for you, except that some public Exchange folders may not be shown — see the Knowledgebase entry on Exchange public folders for more information.

E.G., You've created an Exchange calendar named "Home" and you want to sync that calendar's events in addition to (or instead of) the default Exchange calendar folder named "Calendar". To specify that "Home" calendar, you'll need to specify the "Calendar Folder Name" as "Calendar/Home". This is not something you "see" via OWA — the best hint is that OWA will show the folder as ".Home" in the "Choose folder to delete" pop-up. Fortunately Sync'Em will usually show you the folder names.

In the OWA graphic below, the calendar folders that appear to the left as "Home" and "Work" and in the pop-up menu as ".Home" and ".Work" are actually the pathnames "Calendar/Home" and "Calendar/Work", respectively. Contact folders are similarly named.

Understanding the way Exchange folders are named can be useful when setting up shared folders or public folders that are not reported to Sync'Em by the Exchange server. If Sync'Em does not automatically present an Exchange folder for selection, you'll need to select "Enter path manually..." entry (in the pop-up selection menu) then manually enter the Exchange folder pathname.Click on a graphic for a full-sized view.To enter an Exchange folder pathname manually: then:
