Well here is the problem:

First I went into the BAS and under Blackberry Solution Topology -> Blackberry Domain -> Component View, Click on Email.
Then Click Edit component and click on the public contact folder you want to be published. Save it.

So now in theory my public folder is published as far as the server is concerned...

Now go to manager users, click on a user.
Under the Messaging Configuration area I see one "Default Configuration". I click on that.
Then the "Email" tab on the right.
Then under the "Published public contact folders" is simply None Defined.

How do I get them defined there? that is where I need it checked so that i can setup the users to sync to it.
