Revision history [back]

Using the Sony Experia X verion 3.0.3.10 Hossa

I was having email sync problems so deleted, rebooted and recreated the Outlook account. Accidentally, I forgot to uncheck the contacts on the sync options, and now I have all the corporate outlook contacts downloaded to the phone. Which is huge.

I can't find a way to delete them all, except each, individually, manually... which is going to be a long task for the corporate contact book.

I do have a phone backup, but I can't restore just the contacts from the backup... it's the whole backup, or nothing. But obviously I'll lose any SMS texts that have happened in the mean time.

How do I un-sync the contacts without destroying other data please?

(the idea coming from this, would presumably be an option in the Accounts section that allows the deletion of contacts that originated from the Outlook server.)server... because this is not the first time this has happened, and it won't be the last.)
