I use the iphone ‘phone type’ instead of ‘mobile’ in mac address book but
this isn’t matched in outlook contacts. The outlook contact once synced has
no telephone number matched.
I use outlook but the primary contact source is mac address book as many mac
applications (facetime) look to the mac address book for contact data.
Should I just stop calling these iphones ‘iphones’ and rebadge as mobiles?
is it possible to sync your mail accounts like you can on the windows outlook?
