If anyone has an update to this issue, I'd love to know.

I just installed Pocket Mac Version 1.0 (1.0.9) to sync my BlackBerry 8830 that I downloaded from (http://www.discoverblackberry.com/discover/mac_solutions.jsp).

I got the following error messages when I tried to sync:
09:49:29.228 Could not lcoate the Microsoft Entourage Office Synchronization Tool.
09:49:53.017 Could not lcoate the Microsoft Entourage Office Synchronization Tool.
09:49:59.110 Could not lcoate the Microsoft Entourage Office Synchronization Tool.
09:50:03.888 Could not lcoate the Microsoft Entourage Office Synchronization Tool.

So I contacted Verizon. They told me they are having the same problem, but that they are not doing anything to prevent the synchronization. They suggested another application called The Missing Sync. Does anyone know if this application works properly?

I called them because the BlackBerry website suggested that any issues might be the result of the service provider with this comment:

*Check with service provider for availability, roaming arrangements and service plans. Certain features outlined herein require a minimum version of BlackBerry Enterprise Server software and/or BlackBerry handheld software and may require additional development for access to corporate applications.

The PocketMac website (http://www.pocketmac.net/products/pmblackberry/) includes the following system requirement:
Only For Entourage Synching Options: Entourage 10.1.6 Or Higher
I'm running Microsoft Entourage:mac20008, Version 12.0.1 (080305)

I contacted the BlackBerry technical support and got the following response:
I would like to advise that PocketMac does not support Office 2008 for Mac.

When I requested information on any planned future releases, I got the following response:
As of right now there is not any news about a new updated version of Pocket Mac for BlackBerry to be released.

If they provide a synchoronization solution for Outlook 2007, why not Entourage2008.

I'm going to check out the synchronization suggested earlier in the posts.

Because there are a lot fewer Macs out there running Entourage 2008 then there are Windoze PeeCees running Outlook 2007...meaning that there would be a lot more people whining if they did not update for Outlook 2007 than the are for not updating Entourage 2008. It all comes down to the bottom line. Unless there is more of a financial incentive for them to do something, then they either will not do it or take longer to do it.

Same problem with me. PocketMac say they are testing a solution and will release it soon. Anybody knows another developer who solved this problem? Thanks

I'm looking at switching my office computer to a Mac from a PC, but the one stumbling block is my BlackBerry. I tested my BB on a MacBook Air (running Entourage 2008) and I encountered some synching problems; specifically, email I sent using Entourage did not show up as sent mail on my BlackBerry (it does when I use Outlook). the ISP I use to host my Microsoft Exchange Server service said there was nothing that could be done. This synching problem is a "known issue" and until a patch is issued, no fix is available. But I've been doing some digging and found some programs like PocketMac and I'm not sure if they fix this problem or not. I appreciate any light you can shed on whether this synching issue can be worked out.

go to preferences in Entourage, open Sync services & check Sync contacts & events
