No Birthday dates and only 1 category synced + ical-sync problems?! (Office v. X.)

Hi,

as I am searching for a solution to sync my Entourage data with my Sharp Zaurus PDA, I have tried the demo version of e2sync 1.3.4 for synchronizing ical/addressbook with Entourage v. X.
(At first the i-Apps were completely emtpy and all information had to be transferred from Entourage v. X.)

It works amazingly well, however there are some problems I've encountered:

Birthday dates are not transferred from Entourage contacts to addressbook entries - is this normal?

If a contact in Entourage belongs to more than one category, it seems that only the first category is usedF for creating a group in Apple addressbook, the other ones are ignored.

Exporting calender events to iCal also showed some problems:
Some events are occurring twice (in different categories) although they were only belonging to one (or no) category. Reminders for the objects are not always correctly transferred.

Are all those problems known, or are they caused by the "old" Office v. X. which is not tested any more with never versions of e2sync?

e2sync is a great software, but I only will buy it if I'm sure that I can rely on it (at least to 98%) and at the moment (looking at the results of my test sync), I doubt that I already can.

Best regards
