Back up your Entourage Database before ever using this application.

I set the preferences to "Entourage overrides Address Book" the very first time I synched the two. I only synched personal entries, no business contacts.

On the second sync, two weeks later and inadvertently started by an associate, somehow the script decides that Address Book is the main event and while I'm away from my desk in the lab, proceeds to ERASE HUNDREDS OF BUSINESS CONTACTS from Entourage. Fortunately, I have a daily Database backup.

A product such as this SHOULD NOT delete contacts, it should synchronize. It should NEVER, EVER DELETE. Be very careful using this program.

As far as I am concerned, I am going to request that VISA bill Kagi back and refund my money. Outrageous behavior for a script...
