Version: OsaSync Lite 7.1
"Irritating Effect on Outlook"
Pros: It worked as advertised. I had one computer (WinXP laptop) with tons of e-mail and zillions of folders within outlook and wanted to sync that with a newly purchased computer (WindXP desktop). It works with Outlook running. You can selectively sync different folders or not. It syncs in both directions.
Cons: It annoyingly slowed down my outlook. It works by keeping a record of changes in a shared folder on each machine and it seemed to spend a lot of energy keeping that log up to date. I kept getting little error messages popping up about how this or that didn't work or couldn't be synchronized. The select mechanism for which folders to sync is clunky ... you can't multi-select and it doesn't automatically include subfolders. I have lots of folders and never did get them all synched. There's another way in which one can bulk sync, but that required copying over the PST file and I didn't try it. The synch operation is slow. Twice my outlook froze for unknown reasons, but it never froze before installing OSASync and it hasn't frozen since uninstalling it.
I don't recommend this product. I've installed EZOutlookSync and although it's too soon to comment much on it, I've already synced everything with no problem.
