[missing-sync-winmobile-talk] Information about the New Entourage Update

[Ken Freeman]

Microsoft released the Microsoft Office update version 11.2.3. This  
update enables Entourage support for synchronizing with Apple's Sync  
Services. We applaud Microsoft's joining the Sync Service band wagon!

You can continue to use The Missing Sync to synchronize with  
Entourage using the Entourage plugin that comes with the Missing  
Sync. In fact, we are happy to report that Microsoft fixed some bugs  
in the SDK that now allow birthdays and anniversaries to properly sync!

However, we do NOT recommend using the Missing Sync for Windows  
Mobile 2.0.2 release if you enable the Sync Services synchronization  
in Entourage. There is a known problem handling Entourage created  
calendar events. We are testing a Missing Sync for Windows Mobile  
v2.0.3b1 (BETA) update and hope to release a beta this week that  
resolves this problem. Address Book and Tasks seem to sync fine, but  
you will get an error trying to sync calendar events.

Summary!
- Microsoft released a Microsoft office Update v11.2.3 that adds Sync  
Service support in Entourage
- The Entourage plugin in The Missing Sync for Windows Mobile v2.0.2  
works fine with the updated Entourage. In fact Birthday's and  
anniversaries now sync.
- Do NOT enable the Sync Service option in Entourage AND try to sync  
with the Missing Sync iCal plugins. You will get an error and all of  
your calendar items will NOT sync.
- A 2.0.3b1 (BETA) version is expected this week that supports the  
Entourage Sync Service synchronization. This update is does NOT  
support Windows Mobile 5. Nor is it a universal binary for for the  
new Intel Macs, however it runs fine on the new Intel Macs!

More tips and information about synchronizing with the new Entourage  
update and the Missing Sync will follow, but we wanted to give you a  
heads up and recommendation now.

Thanks!
