[missing-sync-pocketpc-talk] Sync to Mac and XP?

[Mavrovich, Rick]

Dave thank you for your note and I do want to make a clarification. I believe Rockey and others (eg: TDefriez at cs.com - see comment below) are using Entourage on the MAC and Outlook on the Windows environment.

"Note I am only using Entourage on Mac so that maybe why I can do this (use PocketInformant on PPC), I hate iCal etc."

Cheers,

Rick

Rick,

The way Outlook formats data on the device causes problems when syncing on
the Mac with Outlook. The fact that Rockey or others are syncing to
GroupWise or anything else just means that they are having success with
their environment. As far as Missing Sync for Pocket PC version 1.0.4 is
concerned, we don't recommend syncing to multiple machines, and Outlook
specifically is a problem.

I'm not saying your can't sync to more then one machine, I'm saying what we
recommend. I AM saying, you can't sync to Outlook and a Mac with Missing
Sync for Pocket PC 1.0.4. I have not heard of anyone who has success with
that specific mix.
