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!
Ken
