To sync with Outlook, use the Funambol Outlook plug-in. To sync with Gmail, use the Funambol GMail PIM plug-in that you can download from sourceforge (a new version was posted there just two weeks ago). You should not run into any limitations due to # of items. Hope this info helps,<br><br>Hal Steger<br>FunambolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583255569767118806.post-21031237610279980952008-01-07T09:40:00.000-08:002008-01-07T09:40:00.000-08:00Mike, thanks.

See, it drives me crazy that Firefox can <b>identify</b> the misspelled words, but it can't automatically correct the spelling. This is the one killer app of Outlook/MS Word integration. However, as I noted, As-U-Type has been doing a surprisingly good job, even if it does have a high training curve.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583255569767118806.post-59534177964479555242008-01-07T09:52:00.000-08:002008-01-07T09:52:00.000-08:00Hal, I'll bite: how?

However, if I don't want to use Outlook (that was the thrust of this post), how can I use the plugin?<br><br>I'm downloading the server bundle; let's see if that works.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
