Does anyone know how to do this without using MS Exchange server? I've found a few things on the Net but whenever i try to download them they're no longer available (MS cloak and dagger society is as strong as ever it seems...). I only want to synchronise two machines so i can share contacts with another user. MS Exchange server is like taking a Bazooka to swat a fly... 🙁

Looks like 3rd party software is the way to go then. =/

The stupid thing is i waste about 30 hours a month trying to get round all the stupid incompatibilities that MS seem to be so fond of creating. I recon the time used learning a new OS would work out about the same as the time wasted on MS within 6 months. He's not game though. 🙁
