I'm trying out Missing Sync for Windows Mobile after recently ditching Palm in favor of a PocketPC (no regrets at all with the hardware). However, I found that recurring events and tasks in Entourage don't sync at all. They mention this being an Entourage bug in the support docs, but I had no problems with Palm devices before.

Anyone got this to work? I thought about trying PocketMac but have heard so many horror stories about them.

It's got to be a short coming of the Entourage syncing because recurring events work fine with iCal. Have you updated Entourage to the version that uses sync services? This may fix the problem. (I believe that version is 11.2.3.)

Yes, I'm running 11.2.3, although I haven't enabled the syncing features in Entourage. I use e2Sync, which is much better than the half-assed syncing in the update to Entourage. Recurring events and tasks sync fine between Entourage and iCal (and, as I mentioned, I had no problems with Palm syncing either) so I don't see how it can be an Entourage problem.

That's strange because I never had problems with recurring events syncing to/from iCal. Hmm.

Oh, and AVOID Pocketmac. Please do yourself a favor. If you think you've got problems NOW wait until that program gets through with your data. <shudder>

No, I haven't had problems syncing with iCal...the problem is between Entourage and the PocketPC. At any rate, the Markspace folks have been responsive and offered some suggestions which I will try today. Thanks for the tip about PocketMac.
