Thanks Diane. When I first setup iCloud about a year ago it created a whole bunch of archive folders in the Outlook hierarchy, if I recall correctly, directly above Inbox. It created archives for individual categories in Contacts such as travel, restaurants & friends etc and was a real mess. I had iCloud turned off, archive folders deleted & Outlook rebuilt into its original state. I've been looking at CodeTwo Sync for iCloud as I would like to be able to sync with my iPad & iPhone again. Looking at the screenshots from the developer
http://www.codetwo.com/sync-for-icloud/screenshots/ they don't appear to show any archive folders such as were created on my system. Noting your reply am I to understand that whilst it will strip & place all of the data into iCloud by using CodeTwo Sync it will automatically be repopulated back into its original location within Outlook? Will I therefore retain the usual functionality of things like Windows Address book & Autofill?
