BlackBerry Stopped Syncing Email, Calendar, Contacts

BlackBerry Stopped Syncing Email, Calendar, Contacts

BlackBerry contacts, calendar, tasks or memos stop syncing. This can be caused by a corrupted BlackBerry Service Book.

We will use the address book for this example, the same action can apply to the contacts, calendar, task or memos.

Go to the address book icon on the BlackBerry and click on the menu, then options. Under Wireless Synchronization change YES to NO and click save. Go back to the address book icon on the BlackBerry and click on the menu, then options. Under Wireless Synchronization change NO back to YES then click save. This action will force the folder to re-sync to Outlook

If this action does not resolve the issue, try the following:

Delete your Service Books and Resend Service Books and remove your battery. It should re-sync.

If this still does not solve the issue try the following. These should be tried independently of each other.
