Question PocketMac and BES sharing

Please Login to Remove!

Hi all,

I did some searching and got conflicting answers.

I have a BES server and one Mac user (Powerbook G4 1GHz OS X 10.3 I believe) who wants to get a 7105t. They use Apple's calendar and mail programs and don't want to stop. We use GroupWise for everyone else. It's fine if the user continues to IMAP to their GroupWise mailbox for mail, and that should sync fine through BES.

Can my Mac user sync their calendar/addressbook with PocketMac via USB and then let BES sync their mail?

I suppose they could use BIS, but since we have BES I'd like to use it (as well as for the other security features, etc).

Thanks for any real-world feedback on this.

I use Entourage on a BES to sync wirelessly with my BlackBerry. You don't need PocketMac if you are on a BES. However, only the address book and the calendar sync. The notes and tasks do not for some reason.

I don't know about iCal and Mac's address book. I don't think they will sync without using PocketMac.

Still looking for info, as Roofus, bless his heart, didn't have an answer for these specific applications.....

Thanks again!

Yes you can. PocketMac allows you to select which items are to be sync'd via USB: eg calendar, contacts, notes and tasks. It also lets you choose whether you use Entourage, the native mac programs like iCal/AddressBook or another third party PIM called "Now Up to Date/Now Contacts" or something like that for desktop software.

I don't think you can use the Mac AddressBook/Calendar apps through the BES, however: there are two apps from www.snerdware.com that claim to sync the mac calendar and addressbook through a BES, but I have not had much success with them.

Also check out : www.epicad.com I am not sure if it allows you to access a Novell server or only an MES.
