Calendar Sync between Entourage - MobileMe - Outlook

[Alex_M]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel Email Client: imap I am trying to sync three items through MobileMe:
Entourage on my Mac (home)
iPhone
Outlook on my PC (office).

I have the contacts syncing nicely between all the sources but cannot get the calendar to sync. I can get Entourage, the iPhone and MobileMe all in Sync but cannot get them to rope in Outlook. The problem seems to be with the different naming conventions in Outlook (where the calendar is called "calendar&quot and Entourage (where the calendar is called "Entourage&quot ... but I could be mis-diagnosing things.

Has anyone successfully set up a calendar sync between Entourage, MobileMe and Outlook?

Thanks!!

There is one thing I don't get: how are you syncing to Outlook??
You mentioned you have an IMAP account and you can't sync a calendar
through IMAP,

Entourage will sync to iCal through SyncServices and everything ends up
in a calendar called Entourage (as you pointed out).
iTunes will then sync the iCal/SyncService data to the iPhone, but
again, I don't see how the data is supposed to get to Outlook,

I am using IMAP only for the email, and it works perfectly. I have my email in Entourage, Outlook and iPhone no problem.

For the calendars I am using MobileMe. I have Entourage, iPhone and MobileMe all accurately sync'ed (and iCal as well for that matter) but I cannot get Outlook to sync with MobileMe without causing it to stop syncing with the others. MobileMe seems to want to sync with Entourage OR Outlook, but not both.

Not surprised. IMAP is fairly nice for that.

For the calendars I am using MobileMe. I have Entourage, iPhone and

I cannot get Outlook to sync with MobileMe without causing it to stop
syncing with the others. MobileMe seems to want to sync with Entourage
OR Outlook, but not both.

That sounds like a Mobile Me issue in Windows.
If MobileMe is syncing calendars, it should be syncing all of them,
including the Entourage one.
There might be limitations in this respect in the way Apple implemented
syncing with Outlook.
If anything there is nothing I see Entourage could be doing in this respect.
