am currently on ME Premium Enterprise (eval mode) and found the following misbehavior (bug?) while importing contacts from PST through Outlook MAPI-Connector (v1.51)
Environment:
Server Side:
ME Permium Enterpris 6.74 on Win2008 SP2 32bit (all sec pacches available until 22.12.2012 applied)
Client Side:
Outlook 2010 32 bit on Win7 Ultimate, with MAPI-Connector 32 bit 1.51
Situation:
In my contacts folder of my backup pst there are a lot of contacts which have german umlauts and/or a '&' in their 'company-name'-field (as e.b. 'SomeCorp GmbH & Co. KG').
Please be aware that 'GmbH & Co. KG' is very common over here in Germany, so lots of contacts have this in their name.
e.g.:
1.)
this 'GmbH & Co. KG' will be broken down int TWO entries in contacts display in ME-WebMail:
a) the string '...GmbH &amb' in field 'Company' on tab 'Company'
b) the string 'Co. KG' in field 'Department' on tab 'Company'.
2.)
a contact in backup pst with company name 'Heinz Kühne GmbH & Co.KG' ended up with
a) the string '=?UTF-8?Q?Heinz_K=C3=BChne_GmbH_&' in field 'Company' on tab 'Company'
b) the string '_Co.KG?=' in field 'Department' on tab 'Company'.
When opening those contacts in Outlook from Mail-Enable Account, they show up OK !!
When getting synced over EAS to a mobile device it will hold the same corrupted data than as with ME-WebMail
In Addition, contacts which do have 'private', 'work' and 'other' street/city addresses in Outlook, will have the WORK/COMPANY address in the 'Personal' TAB in ME-Web-Mail.
When getting synced this over EAS to mobile device it will now hold THE SAME address for all types (work, private, other).
Seems to me, that the whole Sync of contacts is a total MESS and I have to step through my 800 contacts one by one and try to correct them and then have to check in outlook/ME-WebAccess AND on mobile devices.
Not really a comfortable situation

I don't want to have to do this with the data of all of my users.
So please advice on how to mitigate.
I am willing/will be able to provide a sample pst with 'misbehaving' contacts for ME-Support staff to test on request.
