I'll preface this by saying that I'm not currently a subscriber of .Mac, but
I'm planning to get a new MacBook this summer and was planning on adding
that to my purchase.
I use Entourage for all mail/calendar/contacts/notes/to-do, but I've had
trouble lately with Sync Services. It's created duplicates in Entourage--as
if it's pulling old events/to-do's from iCal and Entourage doesn't recognize
them as one that it already has. I've had as many as 3 duplicates (without
the Entourage category) in addition to the correct one. If any of these
things had a reminder with them, it's as if it starts the entire process all
over again. All reminders start from the beginning. If it was a monthly
reminder, it pops up and pops again for the next month after "completing"
the current month. Multiply this times 3 if there were 3 duplicates.
I'll be backing up tonight and then will be deleting all Address Book/iCal
files in order to reset Sync Services. Hopefully, this will fix my current
issues.
However, if I sign up for .Mac/Mobile Me and make changes on a different
computer (or the Mobile Me site), will it then route the corrections to the
Apple apps first and then to Entourage through Sync Services.
I guess I'm looking to see how people use .Mac when their primary program is
Entourage instead of the Apple Apps. Does it work as you would expect it
to?
