Sync Services Entourage

[Kerry]

Does anyone use sync services and then use the isync conduit to sync to
their Palm. The big downside I find is that all the categories are put
in iCal as one calendar. I've used Paul Berkowitz's script to sync the
two and it converts the categories to Calendars but I find if I make a
change to an item, instead of changing the item it duplicates it making
a new one with the new information and keeps the old one with the old
information. This isn't very good either. The one reason I don't like
syncing directly from Entourage to my Palm and use Missing Sync is that
Missing Sync conduits keep all the correct field mapping whereas the
Entourage conduit loses a lot.

Yes - I use Missing Sync and that does not do anything to resolve this.
I use Paul Berkowitz's AppleScript to sync Entourage and iCal but I've
noticed one little problem. When you make a change to a task, which I
do all the time, it creates a duplicate in iCal of the task - one has
the original info and the other has the new info. This of course gets
messy. I don't know why he's scripted it this way. In Entourages sync
services, I can't remember if it just directly changes each item
individually instead of making a duplicate but I think it does.
Unfortunately with sync services you loose all your categories and
groups in addressbook.
