No idea - all I know is that it works on the iPhone, so *should*, but doesn't, work with Snow Leopard. -- SteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' Alfa 156 TSpark Sportwagon Veloce Selespeed - Alfa 75 TSpark Lusso - Ducati 750SS - BMW R100RT - Toyota Prius T-Spirit

Huh. Like Ben I don't have enough practical experience to take it further... but keep going because it ought to work. Any useful messages in the console log?

I haven't done any comprehensive testing but push e-mail/contacts/calendar seems to work OK. There needs to be an autodiscover.your.domain DNS record set up for it to find your Exchange server. Entourage will sync everything, too, but it's more like push + anything up to 5 minutes :) Oh, and you need at least Office 2008 Standard for Exchange support - the Home/Student edition doesn't support it.

Mind you, this has been there since Leopard, so I expect you've already tried it and found it lacking ? Paul
