[missing-sync-palmos-talk] observation on syncing repeating events

[Blaine Wilson]

Hi David,

I ran a quick test and created a weekly repeating event  in iCal,  
starting in the past and going into the future. It synced fine to the  
handheld. I then deleted all entries from today into the future  
(iCal) and synced. The future entries were correctly deleted from the  
handheld, and the past ones remained as they should...

So, I'd suggest submitting a request via the support form (http:// 
www.markspace.com/support/request_palmos.html) if this is a problem  
in the future. (Note I tested on a TX, which is a newer device as  
well, so the handheld PIM applications should be similar.

Regards,

Blaine
