Hi Kris,

Pocket OnSchedule and Pocket Lookout support synchronization of non-default
folders of PIM items. However, both have their own applications that run on
the device.

MS had released an add-in for syncing Contacts that are stored in sub folder
called Outlook PCS. This add-in doesn't install a seperate application on
the PPC but simply creates a duplicate of the contact items in the sub
folder to the main folder and appends the sub folder name into the
Categories field. This enables you to sort the Contacts on your PPC using
the Category feature. But this add-in is limited to only contact
synchronization.

For more information, you should consider visiting the following sites:

Some users have had problems installing it on a Outlook 2003. For more
