Notes Address book group with 7290

[mkluemke]

I just installed numerous 7290's. We are running Lotus notes and I cannot get the address book groups to transfer to the handheld. The groups are basically a mailing list but I have numerous users that have many groups in their address book. Any Ideas on getting the groups to transfer? I see in the Blackberry address book that you can create groups so I was hoping to transfer existing ones.

Thanks,

Groups from the Address book will not sync to the blackberry

Hayes47 speaks the truth - but you might be able to search for them using the "Look up" option when you've typed a few letters of the distribution list name.

greenW is correct, you can search for them thru Lookup, but the return will be the actual group name, not the display name, and you may get more than you bargain for; don't let that fool you.

For example, we have lots of groups here in Los Angeles. If I try to look up the group Los Angeles Personnel, I get 78 matches -- these are all groups beginning with the display name Los Angeles. However, what I see is (for example) LAALL (that's everyone), and LA26 (everyone on the 26th floor). And so forth. Not very convenient, but if you are on the road and REALLY need to communicate with these folks ....
