We are probably saying the same thing. What I was commenting on was the fact that Apple added ActiveSynch functionality to Mail in SL so Mail can connect to ES 2007; however, none of Mail's front-end features were changed. Mail never had OOF before and nothing was changed to allow Mail to access the OOF features now. The only thing about Mail that was changed was the ability to connect to ES 2007. -- Tom Hart [email protected]
