Just a quick note to those interested: ThinkPost does not require the use of our email system - it is simply there if the user wants to use it.

I would hope you guys lower your cost...it's even more expensive than ours...without an email service...

Do you folks backup the data? A side benefit of using ThinkPost is that if you ever lose your data, we have it on our servers for a re-sync. I think that would be of great benefit to your customers as well.

Hope this helps!

I agree

[vliou]

Sorry - I was writing due to the owner of this programs' earlier incorrect comment about ThinkPost. Either way, I think I lost this war....

It was my intention to offer my suggestions to a program still in BETA to make it better. In the end, it's the consumer who benefits...

But then again, apologies!

[JSanders]

Very good wisdom, yes.

Hi Vliou - The issue of email service or not is really not relevant. It is the issue of storing one's PIM data (contacts, notes, Cal and tasks) on your webservers that would have me concerned. You can rave about data back up, but the security exposure is too great a risk for most of the people I have spoken to. For those that don't worry about data security, then they may find your solution to be the best. That will be up to the general public to decide.

[vliou]

Thank you - for the purposes of this thread, I'm not going to comment. Please direct any questions regarding the ThinkPost service over to the ThinkPost thread so we can give these kind people their thread back. Thanks

[Dawg]

Done J!

[JSanders]

I am going to assume he meant "these kind of people" who are using this product and nothing more.

ALL--please let this be, that includes Josh and Lou.

Seems like its working for me now. I guess the server wasnt working earlier. Josh do you know when you will be adding the calendar sync back?

[BBSyncJosh]

How is the contacts and notes syncing going?

We are working hard on the Calendar and Task sync. As soon as we are ready with a solid product, we will definitely let the forum know.

[Dawg]

yes i am finally able to use this its working great. Wait if the calendar sync isnt working how did my calander get the update on my device just now.

You know what, this might be why I have all those duplicate calendar entries. I am using this program to sync my contacts and the other program to sync my calander. This way I'm testing both at the same time. Maybe both is syncing my calendar and is causing duplicate entries.

[BBSyncJosh]

Soap, I can guarantee you that the lite edition you are using does not handle Calendar syncs. Dawg is using a pre release build, that includes some features that were designed with him in mind - plus we had to make it up to him since we had over a month of struggles of builds not working for him . I can tell you that the competition, although a released product, has many of the same problems that we HAD - especially with Calendar and Task syncing. They just chose to release first with a product that is really a Beta. We cannot accept doing business that way, and that is why we have been in Beta for so long. We are in this for the long run and want a solid product first.

[BBSyncJosh]

Also, I hope people don't misunderstand our decision to pre-release test with Dawg. Our experience has been that when we can work on specific issues with just one or two people, we can react faster to improve function and speed. If we had too many people on the build, it would be a great inconvenience to have to ask everyone to uninstall the build and move to the next one.

Rest assured, we are motivated to fix our Calendar and Task difficult sync issues and then we will release it for beta. Thanks for understanding.

I fully understand the initial trouble Dawg had and your effort to see his problems resolved. Besides, we'll let Dawg work out the bugs so we'll get the working copy.

[Dawg]

Thanks for clearing that up Josh
