Re: So does Entourage 2008 sync Exchange tasks and categories?

It possibly helps. I can understand your team's thinking, but I hope
you can understand that many users, are really really wanting to keep
the same task list, categories, and notes on different computers. It
is hard to accept that this is so very very difficult when we know
that we can sync a pda to a one of the computers. For that matter,
the tasks quite easily sync to ical (unfortunately they seem to lose
their category setting).

What makes it doubly difficult is that there seems to be NO way to
access these items without keyboarding them. So far I see no way to
export or import these items and no way to access them in Automator.
Over in VisualBasic land I can get at the items, pass them to another
program, or even convert them to text files.

I cannot really leave the windows version behind, because I keep my
Outlook in sync with yet another program which operates from a SQL
database. So, yeah maybe I will send it back and run Outlook on a VM
or just hook to the desktop over PCAnywhere.

Hi Fred!

For the record, I'm not part of Microsoft. I'm just a volunteer in this newsgroup. But I can tell you that Microsoft is hearing the complaints about Tasks/Notes synchronization with Exchange.

If you haven't already, be sure to directly let Microsoft know your needs by using the Help --> Send Feedback mechanism in any Office application or visit their website.
