Syncing Entourage on two machines

T

Tom Ryder

I have two MAC laptops. One for travel, the other for office use. I
would like to find a simple no nonsense way to sync Entourage across
two machines. Has anyone had experience with this? How would one go
about syncing to entourage accounts?

An IMAP account would be the easiest way.

A way that works well for me is to use the program "Synchronize!" You need
to have your two Macs connected by Ethernet or some other networking
system. Before leaving town, I use the Backup function to synchronize the
two folders user:Documents:Microsoft User Data:Office 2004 Identities:Main
Identity. Of course you can do the same backup using the Finder but it's
quicker to set it up with Synchronize! or a similar program. The important
thing is that when you get back home, you must do the same backup but in
the other direction BEFORE you use Entourage on your home Mac. You can't
make changes on both Macs and then preserve all those changes when you
next synchronize. The advantage of this over the IMAP solution is that it
synchronizes all data, not just emails.
