[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] Question about interoperability of items in iSync

[James Grubic]

I have a question about the various syncing items in iSync and how they 
interoperate with each other.

Specifically, I've got a Dell Axim and a Sony Clie hooked up. My primary 
calendar program is MeetingMaker, with specific MeetingMaker conduits 
installed for the Palm. Those typically work without a hitch.

I began using iSync and Missing Sync for PPC, and here's what I've been 
noticing:

1. Items entered in iCal are successfully transferred to both the Palm, 
Axim, and back to MeetingMaker. This I suppose should make me 
happy...but it means a switch from the program I typically use (and 
doesn't explain #2).

2. Items entered in MeetingMaker are successfully transferred to the 
Palm, but only rarely do MeetingMaker items appear on iCal or on the 
PocketPC. It's about 10% of the time that information is successfully 
copied in that manner. So, in a nutshell, I have seen MeetingMaker items 
appear on the Axim but as to why or when it will happen is a mystery.

3. I can enter an item on the Palm and it's successfully copied to iCal, 
the PocketPC, and MeetingMaker.

So, it would seem that somewhere along the way, these MeetingMaker 
calendar items are not mixed in with the rest of the iSync calendar 
items. Every once in a while, the event will show up on my 
PocketPC...but more often than not, it doesn't.

I am aware that the problem here may lie with the Palm/MeetingMaker 
conduit or iSync, and not the Missing Sync software, but I thought I 
would enquire to see if anyone else if having problems like these.


Thanks for taking the time to offer suggestions.
