Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) Processor: Intel Email Client: pop I have two Mac at home - can Entourage sync my calendar and contacts across both of them? I am not using iCal or Mail for Mac - using Entourage calendar and contacts.

I have two Mac at home - can Entourage sync my calendar and contacts
across both of them? I am not using iCal or Mail for Mac - using
Entourage calendar and contacts.

Well, it's not all that simple.
The easy way is to use and Exchange account. Of course, I understand
you have POP (ever considered IMAP to get the e-mails in sync too??)

Short of that, you could use Sync Services to sync to iCal, and Mobile
Me to sync iCal across computers and back in Entourage on the second
Mac.
Categories won't make it BTW.

Thanks. I'm not interested in syncing the emails, just the calendar and contacts (actually, the calendar would be most important, I can always export the contacts then import them on the other Mac). Can you give me details on how to sync the calendar?

Well as I was saying, either through an Exchange account, or using
SyncServices, then MobileMe :-\

A hosted Exchange account is fairly reasonable and the additional cost might
be a worthwhile expenditure. Just do a Google search for "hosted exchange".
