I don't think so (that would be very useful). But you CAN hot-sync your Palm device with Entourage:

Entourage is much, much better than using Palm Desktop. Hope this helps!

You're very welcome.

Any one hear of a utility/plug-in that syncs Entourage with iCal/Address Book/Mail?

I'm still having problems getting my Entourage Groups into my Palm. I used the Entourage sync add on listed above but even so, it goes through the motions but i get no sync - my mail and address book aren't updated. i'll try playing around with it but i want to know if anyone has been able to get Entourage Groups from their address book to sync onto thier palm (i'm on a Tibook, palm vx with keyspan usa-19 usb adapter).

http://www.applescriptcentral.com/ has a listing of a script that is suppose to synch address book from Mail to Entourage - i haven't tried it yet.

since I'm new to Mac I wouldnt' really know how to test this out, but if some brave knowledgeable soul has tried this before, I'd like to know, because I'd want to do this too.

I don't think the Palm OS supports Groups. Categories for individual contacts should transfer though.

It's been a while since I set up my iMac to sync Entourage with my Handspring, but if I remember correctly, you need to disable the Address, Date Book and Memo Pad conduits in order for the Entourage conduit to sync properly. I think they recommend that you Quit Entourage prior to syncing as well.

Unfortunately, email messages will not hotsync (unless someone else made their own conduit? Any one know about one?).

It's been working great for me since November 2002. Hope this helps!
