1 profile for email - 1 for calendar ?

I'm running outlook 2007 on my work computer. My work uses groupwise
for email and such... but they don't support syncing between my
blackberry and outlook (they're too cheap I guess to spend the money
to support this).

Anyway... I've been able to set up outlook to use a different mail
profile so that I can sync my calendar and contacts up with it while
still running groupwise to do email. I really have no need for any
other groupwise feature other than email anyway... what can I say, I
hate groupwise.

That said, I'm wondering if I can set up outlook to access groupwise
for my email... but have it use the other profile for my calendar and
contacts. When I first installed outlook, it was automatically using
my groupwise profile for everything. I simply added a new profile so
that I could have a functioning outlook calendar and contacts. I'd
love to find a way to add back in the groupwise profile for just email
though so I could have just outlook open from now on rather than
running both outlook and groupwise at the same time.

Hope that request makes sense! Thanks for the help!

what you want is 2 accts in 1 profile - the pst for the calendar and
groupwise for mail. Normally, you can use any number of accts and psts in
the profile - the default one is used for syncing (which would be where the
calendar is) but I'm not sure how groupwise works in outlook - if its like
Exchange server, it demands the default message store be used for its
messages and will move them to the pst if its set as the default.

Now - you can open the calendar pst in the groupwise profile (file, open,
outlook data file) - it will be a secondary folder in the folder list. But
it won't sync - you'll need to close outlook and open with the calendar
profile to sync.
