Hallelujah Items
Two hallelujah items today: First, Google Mail now supports IMAP. This is great news for us POP haters, particularity to the extent that we love ourselves some serious GMail. As of this writing, GMail's IMAP capabilities aren't available to everyone, but should be in the next few days. According to Google:
Second, the hideous Leopard Dock will now, apparently, be optional. And what's awesome is that the attractive replacement actually looks to be an improvement over the current, Tiger Dock, at least from my aesthetic perspective.
Neat-O!
The Tiger Dock of Yore: All Good and Well, and Square

The Godawful Leopard Dock: My Eyes!

The Attractive and Useful Leopard Dock Option: Rounded and Tinted

At least that's what being reported as of today, two days before Leopard's actual release. We'll see how it actually goes. Either way, I'm happy.
Don't fret if you don't see "IMAP Access" yet under the Settings menu. We're rolling it out to everyone over the next few days.

4:44 PMOh goodness, I'm hijacking the comments on this post at least temporarily. I'm having iCal sharing issues I thought you may be able to shed some light on, namely two people need to be able to make changes to (and view said changes) on the same calendar. I may be doing it so wrong that iCal will march off and never work again. I followed your instructions but am thinking that only works for updates from one computer? Please get in touch or just answer here if you can help, if you have a minute. And thanks for the resource of all that knowledge.

Hi,
I'm assuming you're using the Box.net solution for calendar sharing. Unfortunately, that method does not allow editing of a calendar from any computer other than the source computer, i.e. the computer that is publishing the calendar. In it's current state, iCal simply does not support multi-user calendar editing at all. Multi-user calendar support will exist in Leopard Server, if you happen to host a calendar server of your own. And, while I haven't tried it, there is an application that does what you want called
BusySync. If it works, it could be just what you're looking for.
If you have any luck with any of this, please post back at the original article, you know, for completeness' sake.
Thanks!
