By default, your | | To Do list will be stored locally; that is, as Mail.app and iCal put it, | | "On my Mac". To view it on your iPhone, you want it to be stored on your | | IMAP account instead. | | | | To accomplish this, you need to create a new calendar on the IMAP account. | | To do this, go into Mail.app and expand "To Do" to show all your | | accounts. Right-click on the IMAP account and select "New Calendar". An | | alternative approach is to drag To Do items from "On My Mac" into the IMAP | | account, which will prompt you to create a new calendar there. | | | | You can now create To Do list items in the new list you've just created in | | Mail.app. Alternatively, go into iCal.app and select the new calendar | | stored on your IMAP server (which will have magically appeared in the | | sidebar), and create them there. | | | | To access the To Do list on your iPhone, go into Mail.app on the iPhone | | and enter the "Apple Mail To Do" folder. Your To Do items are listed | | there, mis-formatted as if they were emails. | | | | I am not aware of any way to create To Do items on the iPhone, however. | | You can create a new mail message and move it into the "Apple Mail To Do" | | folder, but it does not synchronise with Mac OS X. For now, this is a | | read-only solution. | | | | reply (0 comments) | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Links: portal / wedding / calendar / honours / phd / iq / igfwatch / random | | page generated in 0.152 seconds sadlittlewebjournal 2.9.3 | | content (c) its respective creator(s) web administration | | valid html 4.01 transitional foaf / rss feed | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
