Email/Calendar Client Needed

I've been using OpenOffice/StarOffice on Linux and Windows for several years and have always lamented the the fact there is no MS Outlook equivalent in the otherwise great suite. Is there a pressing reason for this omission? Will you ever include this feature, so we can finally cut the MS Office cord completely. I still have Office on my Win partition just to get Outlook - would much prefer using a Sun equivalent. Still waiting...

Hi there,
Thanks for posting your question. I hope the following links may be of help to you and these should answer your questions, rather than putting all the text in here take a look at the following links.
http://www.openoffice.org/editorial/mozilla_lightning_and_OOo.html
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/
I hope these two pages answer your question.
As a slight aside I currently use Ooo and Firefox/Thunderbird with the Lightning plugin. If you want a stand alone calendar application as well you could try SunBird.

I use Office Outlook for mac 2011 to organise my email & calendar. Since updating to OS X Mavericks I have not been able to sync the calendar to my iPhone. What do I need to do to get the calendars syncing again?

Thanks! But seriously why have Apple disabled the info sync on iTunes? By 'Upgrading' to Mavericks I've inadvertantly disabled my Apple mobile devices from fulfilling their function. Come on Apple work with us here!!
Apple told developers they were removing that service over two years ago. The developers that depended upon it should have done something about it.
Why did they remove it? My guess is because it was pretty crappy, was difficult to maintain, and wasn't a good solution for multiple devices that could get the info without tethering to a "base" Mac.

Now we are even more confused
- system GW knows itself and answers for example.com
- system other knows itself and answers for __________?
You used example2.com in your above which is different from what you
started out with. And now you are mentioning IMAP that you haven't
mentioned at all before. Perhaps you are writing faster than you are
thinking and missing getting the key data into here, and that makes it
difficult for us to constructively help you.

I have a personal email calendar kept on Outlook, I also have an Exchange calender on outlook. I want to sync both calendars with my Iphone 5 /6.1.2 but ITunes only sees the exchange calendar. How can I get Itunes to see both calendars

I have a personal email calendar kept on Outlook 2010, I also have an Exchange calender on Outlook. I want to sync both calendars with my Iphone 5 / 6.1.2 but ITunes only sees the exchange calendar.
How can I get Itunes to see both calendars?

Hi,
you don't need MobileMe or anything fancy. I personally sync my Outlook calendar and my Outlook address book with three computers (two at the office and one at home)and besides I run Office 2003 on one, Office 2007 on the other and Office 2010 on the third, so it can't get more complicated than that, but it works 100%.
First sync Outlook with iTunes on one computer, having done that when you try to sync it to another machine, iTunes will recognize that it is synced with another computer and ask you if you want to merge the data, say yes, That's all there is to it.
It does not work for music as you rightly say but as far as Calendars and Contacts are concerned it's flawless and transparent.
If you hit a snag talk back to me.
Cheers.

So, is there any possibility to work around the issue?

Currently we are not aware of any workaround for this issue. One previous report of this issue - with iCalendar 8 (Yosemite) - showed that the Calendar Server was correctly processing the event. Given that the only thing that changed was the client software, it is recommended to open a support ticket with Apple to report this issue.

Calendar clients 4.03 cannot work offline since we have upgraded to Calendar Server 4.0

Macintosh Calendar 4.03 cannot work offline since I have upgraded to Calendar Server
version 4.0. When users attempt to either go offline or login offline,
they receive module errors:

Module:>CApplicationCorporateTime.cp>,
Label:20, Service error#(0x1320a)

It looks like versions 4.03 and lower clients (primarily on the Macintosh) are unable to
properly handle data from the 4.0 Server as it was able to in the 3.5 server.

There have been changes made with the new 4.0 server version as to how a
password is sent over the network to the client. In order for a customer to
use an old client version (pre 4.5) with the offline agenda, the following
parameter needs to be set in the server's /users/unison/misc/unison.ini file:

[ENG]
pwdreturnonitemget = TRUE

Once all users have been upgraded to client version 4.5x or higher, it is
highly recommended to remove this parameter or to set it to the
default value FALSE.
This parameter becomes active as new client sessions are established. It is
not necessary to stop and start the server.

The best solution for this issue is to only use Calendar client versions 4.5
or higher.

How do you date and time stamp iCal entries? We share an event calendar and need to know when a new event was entered into iCal.

BKBK,
Thank you for your response. That does adequately cover the
client-originated sessions, but still leaves the ability I am
looking for unavailable.
It did serve to definitively answer my most pressing
question, however, with this statement:
Note: ColdFusion cannot create a session if an initiator
application uses a SendGatewayMessage method to start an
interaction with a client, such as an SMS user. In this case, the
sending code must keep track (for example, in a database) of the
messages it sends and their destinations. When a response event
arrives, it can look up the origniatorID to determine whether it
was in response to an outgoing message.
I will play around with the Application scope to see if there
might be a workable solution there.

Transfer email, calendar etc from Outlook PC to Outlook Mac

Hi all,
I've had a look around for this but can't seem to find a solid answer and I'm concerned that something will be missed.
I need to transfer all email, calendar, contacts etc from Outlook 2007 on Windows to Outlook 2011 on a Mac. Could anyone point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks

Best ipad 1 apps for integrating voice and handrwriting recognition to other apps like email & calendar

my wife just inherited my old ipad 1 and she wants to use in her office to replace her old paper/binder franklin organizer. she needs an easy to use intuitive set of business apps that she can type, dictate & write that will inetgrate with other apps like email, calendar & orgnized note categories. what are the best apps to give her a great experience. If all goes well, she may upgrde to new ipad but she needs to see value here first to stop using her paper system.

I should also mention that we use android phones so iPad is a new technology for her. She needs a Windows or web interface since she uses gmail, google calendar & google docs. I guess I am asking for a lot but it seems that somebody (quite a lot of people!!!!) would have the same requirements. Just a no-nonsense high functionlaity portable interoperable daytime planner/organizer. OmniFocus looks good but is only Apple centric and requires iOS 6.0 where our iPad 1 only goes up to iOS 5.1.1. How about the ability to 'print' .. ??? Am I going off the deep end here ?? Sounds pretty obvious to me ...

IMac i7, late 2013: Microsoft Outlook email, calendar, and contacts

Will I be able to open and read my Microsoft Outlook email, calendar, and contacts when imported to my late 2013 iMac and Mavericks OS X?

Thanks LowLuster.
I do not want to purchase any additional Office software for the iMac if I don't have to. I have been a Microsoft/Office/Outlook user for many years now, so I have bunches and bunches of email, calendar, and contact info that I would still like to access and read, use, update.
I would like to know if the Microsoft Outlook data (email .pst, calendar and contact) info once imported to the iMac will be accessible, readable, usable, updatable. I need my email, calendar, and contacts.
I have already spent quite a bit of money on the iMac, and didn't plan on buying Office/Outlook for the Mac.

Issues with Outlook Email Calendar Option when MOSS Calendar

Hi,
I am using the Outlook feature Email Calendar, to email the list of appointments, but have observed that it doesn't list the recurrent appointments in the selected dates, and shows an message that "The calendar you are saving does not contain any appointments
during the specified date range - " in case if no appointments, or else it will just miss the recursive appointments.
You can see more details about this feature in the below link, as I said my issues is if any appointment that is repeating, is not populating/show in the list of events using this feature.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/outlook-help/send-an-outlook-calendar-in-an-email-message-HA102840072.aspx
Can anyone suggest if we need to change or make any settings, to get the recurrent events.
Also, forgot to mention above that, this calendar is from SharePoint Calendar and gets sync.
Can someone please advice if I am missing anything or any change in settings?
Here are some more details:
Outlook 2013
MOSS Version of SharePoint (2007)
If you have knowledge, let others light their candles in it.

Managing meeting requests from SharePoint does not work as you would think. See second paragraph
here.
Your best bet is to use Outlook to send out meeting requests and synch these events back to SharePoint.
Even when you use Outlook to manage a meeting request and synch the meeting to SharePoint, you still come across issues, for example with meeting workspaces:
1) Whenever a recurring event changes (a recurrence exception), the meeting workspace for the original recurring event gets orphaned.
2) Changing attendees in Outlook doesn't always get updated in SharePoint.
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

Mail notifications are not getting sent from a Calendar client

Mail notifications are not getting sent from a Calendar client

On the client, after creating an event and electing to send a mail notification,
the following error appears in a pop up box:
"module:mailmsg.ctp,label 190, service error"
Also, in the /users/unison/log/cws.log file on the Calendar Server, there is an
error from the corresponding time that the client receives one:
DEXOTEK ERRCODE Ox132B0 -> CWTCP_RemoteSecurityModified: RNC_SecurityModified
-> Request 0x443 for NodeId 10002,
status set to CANTSERVICE
Solution:
If this is only happening for one user, then check for the presence of a dbv.log
file in the /users/unison/log directory. If present this implies db corruption
and the /users/unison/bin/unidbfix tool should be run.
Note: For details on "unidbfix", please read the man page and also the online
Calendar Administrators Guide.

For existing data in BI, client need to take a call to park the same from s

hi,
friends,
For existing data in BI, client need to take a call to park the same from safety point view by copying the existing ODS
is it possible?if it is possible give me details.
thanks&regurds
sivaji

hi,
well when you copy an ODS only the structure is copied. to load the data you might need to create transformation and DTp to load data in the new ODS.
You need to load data manually. Copying the ODS will only copy the structure.

I recently changed my email address and need to change my icloud account both on my itunes and iphone. how do I do this without completely wiping the phone?

I recently changed my email address and need to change my icloud account on both my itunes and iphone. How do I do this without completely wiping the phone.
Also I tried to update to iOS6 and it is asking for my password under my old signin and locked me out of my phone.
What can I do?
Thanks

This explains how to change your ID: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5621. After changing your ID you will need to go to Settings>iCloud, delete the existing account (which only deletes it from your device, not from iCloud), then sign back in with the new ID. To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll before deleting the existing account.
If you are signed into your account on your Mac, you will need to go to System Preferences>iCloud, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

How on earth do I update my Apple ID to my new email address? I keep getting moved to 'change my password' sites, but I have a new email address and need to update my Apple ID.

How on earth do I update my Apple ID to my new email address? I keep getting moved to 'change my password' sites, but I have a new email address and need to update my Apple. Frustrated!!

Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
Create a new email address, for example at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.
