There is a useful tool out there that will make including of your Mac into the corporate scheme less of a science fiction. Ok, so you already know that Mac Mail connects to your Exchange account to deliver your mail without a fuss. Yet other elements of Exchange are left behind (tasks, meetings, to-dos, contacts etc.). Groupcal 3 handles those and synchronises them seamlessly with iCal and Address Book. Sure, you might keep all your contacts on the phone and import or synchronize them with Address Book occasionally via iSync, yet tasks are a different story. That’s why Groupcal is so welcome here – if you want to import, create and handle tasks and meeting on your Mac as well, this is a tool for you. Before Groupcal i used to connect via VPN and Remote Desktop to my PC at work to check the meetings next week, now i simply use GroupCal for syncing iCal with Exchange. Trial version will only sync a limited number of tasks, but even that is useful enough. Check it out for yourself.
