[missing-sync-winmobile-talk] i cal issue

Hi,
I have a problem that has resulted in me and my business partner not  
being able to continue to use missingsync for windows

my biz partner and i share ical using .mac (sync) and we have a  
number of calendars that we use.
when we don't sync the phones (imate sp3i) the calendars sync ok and  
we don't have any issues.

we have a variety of types of appointment, some recurring and we use  
the time zone feature now too (since the last time we didn't some of  
our appointments shited back 3 hrs!)

when we each sync our phones, it does not seem to be transparent to  
ical, because each of us then gets a message saying something like 9  
calendars updated, 4 deleted, 5 added... 2000 appointments changed

and we tend to find we sometimes now get duplicates and or calendar  
items are not removed.  And, the timezones get changed to 'floating'   
- which is maybe why the ical thinks everything has changed.


i have heard from other discussion boards that one should not attempt  
to sync between accounts, and onto devices but i don't see why not.

does anyone else suffer from this, or does anyone have any suggestions?

we may end up ditching ical and use a hosted exchange server and sync  
our phones directly to that if all else fails!

thanks for your input
Prem
