Of course if you have IMAP that gets your messages and sync to Apple's Address Book gets contacts. -- Diane -- YouTalk mailing list List information: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/support_options/list.html List moderator: [email protected], [email protected] To unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
