Windows Mobile forum: Backup contacts, calendar and files from WM5

I can copy my files to an SD card, but I can't see any way to back up my calendar or contacts. Where would this be in the menu structure? Under Programs, or Settings (and if Settings, under Personal, System or Connections)? Or would it be part of ActiveSync?

I've looked in all these places and can't see anything that looks as if it would back up my calendar and contacts.

As an alternative, can I use ActiveSync to do this? I guess, to be safe, I would have to install Outlook on a separate PC that hasn't had it before, and set up a new sync partnership with this PC. But then how could I be sure that allowing it to sync would not overwrite all my data in the mobile with the blank data in Outlook? This is the sort of thing that seems to have happened before, and is why I'm so hesitant to run ActiveSync until I've got a backup.

Or is there some web service that will synchronise to my mobile contacts and calendar without using ActiveSync?

It helps identify what a post is likely to be about.

Many people view these forums in Threaded, (or Collapsed), mode, where only the subjects are visible until the subject header is clicked to expand the post.

I would have thought that if I'm replying to a previous message that had a subject, it was fairly obvious that the subject was the same as that of the previous message. An optional subject would be fine - I can then add it if my message covers something different from the original subject. But a mandatory subject seems odd to me in a tracked forum. I don't think I've ever seem another forum system that insisted on a subject for replies...

by changing the direction of the original post's topic to "Why do I have to enter a subject?"

And that happens all the time. If nothing else, it's a courtesy.

Why do I have to enter a subject?

Sorry but do we need to discuss forum details here? I'd rather discuss active sync.
