Exchange / Address Book non-English sync issues Network
When you're trying to synchronize the Apple Address Book with a non-English Exchange server, it probably won't work: e.g. in Germany, the Contacts folder is named "Kontakte" on the Exchange server and Address Book won't find it. You cannot rename this folder using Outlook, but you can use a webdav-Client like Goliath to connect to the server and to rename the folder to "Contacts" that way.

This change won't affect Outlook Web Access or Outlook -- the folder will simply be named "Contacts" there as well.

I had the same Problem and it took me 2 days, lots of work and a tutorial in packetsniffing to find that out.... And then I forgot to put it on Macosxhints, sorry about that :-)

Well just a comment: You can rename the Folder in Mail.app as well. If you read your Mail using the IMAP setting with your mail account on the Exchange server, you can see the Contacs folder and rename it. Or just create an account for that purpose.

AHH !!!!

Ok, so this fixes the wrong error message "Exchange server not found..".
So, what it's not finding, is the FOLDER!

So, now it suddently work on our Danish Exchange server!
Thanks!
