I am new to mac. Running Lion. I am old Outlook user. I also use iPhone a great deal. My goal is to have my two e mail accounts and calendars pushed to my computer and to my iphone and fully synced. My preference would be to have calendar and e mail accessible in a single program - ie. Outlook - if it can be set up so that everything is syncked and pushed.
I have two e mail accounts. Work account is large government system that runs in Outlook. Currently I sync that to my iPhone as an exchange account. My Personal account is g mail. Currently I sync that as an exchange account in my iPhone. Both e mail accounts push my e mail to my iphone. Works very well.
I have two calendars. Work calendar is outlook just as e mail described above. Personal calendar is actually a calendar on my iphone. Both calendars are currently available on my iphone and sync. well. Works great on the iphone.
I have both email accounts and both calendars up and running well in "Mail" and iCal. Both are syncing and pushing. iPHone is syncing and pushing. All is well. However, I would be even happier if I could get all this working well in a single program so I don't have to switch back and forth between Mail and iCal. Also, there are somethings about "Mail" that I am not thrilled with (attachment handling for one).
So the question is this - can I set up Outlook for mac to accomplish my goal having in mind that I want my computer AND my iPhone to sync and push with my work and personal e mail accounts and calendars? If so, what specifically is the best way to do this?
