From: Andrew Hamilton on 11 Apr 2010 19:57 My wife is interested in replacing her ancient Palm Treo with another phone that has excellent Outlook integration, meaning contacts, appointments, TO-DOs and reminders. After a visit to the local Apple store, and talking with several different employees there, I * think * I understand this issue: Synchronization between a PC running Outlook and an iPhone uses iTunes as the conduit. Once configured properly, synchronization takes place automatically whenever the iPhone is plugged into its cradle or whenever the user clicks on a button. These are the issues with integration: Outlook TO DOs are not supported directly by Apple. A third-party app is needed. Flag reminders added to emails are not synchronized, but calendar and task reminders are synchronized, and are displayed as pop-ups. Is this list complete? Which apps do you use in conjunction with Outlook synchronization with an iPhone? Right now we are using Outlook 2003, but will be migrating later this year to OL 2010. Thanks,

Visit Apple's iPhone forum for Mail, Calendar and Contact issues at http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1144 and you can get the lowdown from people who all use both Outlook and an iphone. There are some bugs to be aware of - I believe most can be avoided if you always set end dates on all recurring appointments and events - for birthdays, use an end date a few years in the future (say 2015 for annual events) and the end of the year for frequent recurrences. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM Do you sync your mailbox with a smartphone or pda? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=39473 "Andrew Hamilton" <Ahamilton90900(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message news:kqn4s5l1m1043h2l1ibbnmjdch75k60omi(a)4ax.com... > My wife is interested in replacing her ancient Palm Treo with another > phone that has excellent Outlook integration, meaning contacts, > appointments, TO-DOs and reminders. > > After a visit to the local Apple store, and talking with several > different employees there, I * think * I understand this issue: > > Synchronization between a PC running Outlook and an iPhone uses iTunes > as the conduit.
