I tried the sync feature way back when it was first provided, but haven't used it since. Mainly I guess because I don't use the AAB (I find its interface to be a PITA) and because of my mistrust of PM and AAB syncing properly and usefully. Frankly I would rather see PM take on some more user management functionality, e.g. phone numbers and whatnot, since I invariably end up entering such notes into the comments field for each user. I find it easier to grab somebody's phone number from my PM address book, since PM is always open. It would be cool if PM would still use the AAB, but provide a better UI for its data. Though one of the other boons of restricting my use to the PM address book is that the data move around with my mail (e.g. when I copy between computers). Such is not true with the AAB. This is another major reason, which I almost forgot, why I don't bother with the AAB. (Pay $100/a for dot-Mac? No thanks.) -ben -- Ben Kennedy, chief magician zygoat creative technical services 613-228-3392 | 1-866-466-4628 http://www.zygoat.ca
