Added ActiveSync functionality to Mail? No. ActiveSync is a push technology for mobile devices such as the iPhone. Apple is using the Exchange Web Services (EWS) protocol just like the Entourage for EWS mail client. The opportunity for feature parity is really ripe with this because both Entourage and Mail can literally access the same functions with Exchange Server. The fact that Entourage accesses Exchange's out-of-office feature and Mail doesn't is strictly a design decision by the developers. They are choosing what they want their users to be able to do. Mail will probably incorporate more and more Exchange features much like Entourage did when it was gaining Exchange features during Entourage 2004 and Entourage 2008 development. Not everything can be included the first time and Apple may decide that it wants to maintain a clean and simple feature set compared to Entourage's more complex implementation. -- bill Entourage Help Page <http://entourage.mvps.org/> Entourage Help Blog <http://blog.entourage.mvps.org/> Twitter: follow <http://twitter.com/meck> -- YouTalk mailing list List address: [email protected] List information: http://entourage.mvps.org/support_options/list.html List moderator: [email protected], [email protected] To unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
