Now it doesn't. I have a Mac OS X 10.5.8. My blackberry is a tour (with Bluetooth) and I use a Google Calendar at work like you do so that others can put things on my calendar, etc. After things got crazy, I did some reading and found out that in Java Preferences, Java 6 should be at the top of options...all I can see after the update is Java SE 6. Is that correct? Also, I trashed Calgoo and reinstalled it. Now when I try to open Calgoo it opens very briefly (or I can see the little face appear on my bar--but then it disappears and I can't find it to make changes). I would LOVE your help to get this started again. It was working SO well before. I may be wrong, but I think things started to fall apart when I changed the time on my computer and blackberry when I went back east for Thanksgiving. Maybe that was a coincidence, but it seemed to start dropping appts, duplicating them, changing times and not syncing in some case. Seems to be no rhyme or reason. I deleted Google Sync from my blackberry too and haven't reinstalled it. Would love to hear from you. Going nuts here! Ben, I did all of this a couple of months ago and it worked like a charm.

I too was a fan of Outlook, esp 2007, but a much bigger fan of my Mac. Was with Entourage for a little while when I was working at an office using Exchange, synced well with my Blackberry as well. Now on my own using an iPhone. Been using iCal and Mail for several months syncing iCal and address book through Google Calendar so I could get OTA sync. Funny how the iPhone doesn't do that unless you sign up for Mobile Me. Anyway, after nearly a year I still miss Outlook. Loaded a trial version into Windows 7 inside of Sun's VirtualBox. Yeah for free! (at least for now). Realized I still really like Outlook's functionality. Entourage is close but just not the same. Anyway back to messing with Entourage and your post let's me set up syncing through my Google Calendar which is already syncing with my phone OTA. If only MS would make a true version of Outlook for the Mac.... Thanks for this. I too was a fan of Outlook, esp 2007, but a much bigger fan of my Mac.
