Contacts – DAMO / Outlook / MobileMe
If you’ve read the posting about this combination for Calendar, the steps for procuring and setting up DAMO, Outlook and MobileMe are exactly the same. Once you get that done (or while you’re doing it), you’ll need an iNotes / DWA style mail file with the contacts stored in the file. When DAMO syncs your mail file with your Outlook PST file, the contacts it uses are the ones in your mail file, not the ones in your local address book. To sync your mail file contacts with your local address book:
- Open your mail file in Notes
- Select Actions > Synchronize Address Book
Why you cannot edit your contacts in your mail file from the Notes client is beyond me, but that’s a gripe for another day.
As far as how this works, honestly it works pretty well. Any complaints about the convoluted nature of this set up are just the same as calendar. As long as all the moving parts are working together in harmony, you’re all set. Again, I can’t recommend this for your CEO, but if you can get all of this up and working, you’re l33t enough to make it happen.
