[missing-sync-palmos-talk] utility to reassign phone to email

[Ted Mendoza]

It may be tedious, but I have gone into each contact on my Treo and  
reselected the email tag as "email".  It shows up in Address Book as  
"E-mail" (slightly different), but syncing recognizes it.  You can do  
the converse of this (i.e. going into Address Book and creating a  
custom email label called "E-mail").  However, I find that it is  
easier/faster to change on the Treo.

The benefit to this for me is that when I compose an email on the  
Treo, I can now use the Lookup function to insert email addresses  
without typing them in.

As a final point, if you feel this is beneficial, I would suggest  
going into the Address Book prefs and making the default email tag "E- 
mail", so that when you create a new contact in Address Book, you  
will be in sync with the Treo.

Hope it helps!
