Sync notes with iPhone?

With one of the recent iPhone / iTunes updates my iPhone started synchronising notes with my iMac. The problem was the any notes on my phone were being put in the OSX Mail application.

Is there any way I can synchronise the notes on my iPhone with Entourage?

TIA

Hi Grant,

perhaps it is possible with some third party software, but the iPhone can
currently only sync with Mail.app's Notes.

I believe that the Missing Sync for iPhone does it (markspace.com)

Hi Michel

If Entourage is already syncing contacts with Mac Address Book and calendar events with Mac iCal then is it not possible to extend this the include notes and tasks with Mac Mail.

A suggestion to MS for the next (minor) update to Entourage?

Hi Corentin

I have had a look at the site advrtising this app and it does appear to satisfy the requirements. However, with the iPhone now automatically syncing notes via iTunes it makes sense the MS Sync should be extended to synchronise notes as well, instead of having to purchase a third party app.

Tasks do get synchronised across the different applications; it's only the
notes that do not.

I am not sure if there is anything Microsoft can do. The type of information
that can be synchronised via Sync Services is largely determined by Apple;
if their Notes feature is not supported via those Services, no application
can sync to it.

However, feel free to leave your feedback with Microsoft; click on
Help>"Send Feedback about Entourage" from inside the application.

I agree. I believe though that MS offered notes before Apple offered the
same feature through Mail. That's probably why MS didn't have the
possibility to sync them to the system before.
Now.... it'd be a welcome feature in an update I guess :->
