Sync Entourage between iMac and Powerbook

[Glenn Kelly]

Hello.
I use Entourage 2004 primarily on my G5 iMac.

When I need to go away on business or holiday, I take my Powerbook with me.

What I would like to know, is there an easy way to get all my Entourage data
sync'd between my iMac and Powerbook. For example, an iSync Script or
similar?

At the moment, I just link the 2 up with a Firewire cable, press T on the
iMac and then transfer the Microsoft User Data folder across to the
Powerbook - and vice versa. This can take up to 10 minutes

I know I could use IMAP - but I choose not to as I like to be in control of
my messages and where they are stored.

Thanks
Glenn

Why not use a sync program such as ChronoSync or Synchronize! Pro. It will
only sync changed files so it doesn't take nearly so long. Using these
programs, you can sync all of your User files, not just the MUD. I do this
all the time (same environment you mentioned - G5 iMac on the desktop,
Powerbook G4 on the road). The same sync program can be used to sync the
Powerbook back to the iMac when you return to your desk.
