- Thread-topic: [Fed-Talk] Outlook vs. Mail, iCal, and Address Book
I'm a big fan of MobileMe to keep things in sync. Especially contacts. Has anyone tried the outlook 2011 sync function for contacts to make address book and contacts (apple and outlook) in sync? Last time I enabled cross syncing it screwed up so bad i spent a week rebuilding the contacts in address book.
Right now I open address book and then get the address and paste into 2011. I'd like it integrated but am not willing to go through the fix mess again if it doesn't work.
After the "unrecoverable error" im almost ready to chuck 2011 and stick with apple mail. Apple mail is WAY faster on email searches than outlook. And it outlooks screws up time machine backups I think those 3 negatives may get me to boot it.
