Outlook is a piece of cake to get information into and out of using COM.
Synching is the tricky part but I reckon I got synching working pretty good
in Notes2Notes.
What I'd like to do is create a load of translation layers for things like
palm desktop, claris organizer, outlook etc. As you say, this makes synching
awkward. However, I have a plan for that too ;-) Could anyone who's
interested in helping out here mail me offline please.
