OK, so I have to wait 15 minutes for syncing/pushing between my PC at work and my Mac at home. I think I can live with that.

OK Ferdinand, I take back everything I said. I can't access MobileMe at work because it requires Safari or Firefox and IT won't let me install either browser on my work laptop.

I have done my research. Here is a fantastic link on how to set up your very own WEBDAV server on a mac.

Okay, the example refers to omnifocus synching, but it is just too easy.

and... I nearly forgot.. today I got a "deepest" apology email concerning mail problems and recieved the 5 test mails I had sent myself. So seems mobileMe have tried to do a ameaning cleanup.

but, domain names with hyphens are STILL not accepted.

It probably bounced when the 5 day MobileMe 5 email outage happened.

Just randomly thinking, probably already been answered, but don't they usually pretest these things before they put them up. And if they weren't ready by there due date, I'm pretty sure people wouldn't mind waiting a few more days and not have any problems to deal with.

Also, what I find aggravating, and this probably sounds so stupid, but I recently had a friend buy MobileMe. But Apple doesn't tell me how to set up MobileMe......... I have absolutely no idea how to make a username or anything else.......

Did you have a look at this:

http://www.apple.com/mobileme/setup/ ?

Luckily, my email worked all the time so I wasn't one of those 1%, but I still didnt get that email regarding the free 30 days extension...

And I tried to talk with Apple staff through the MobileMe chat and I waited more than half an hour and I couldnt talk to anyone because it froze at the "approx. 1 min left" stage. I tried it the next day and the day after and it never worked.

And they responded to my support question I sent 2 weeks ago yesterday. And it wasn't even a personal email, it was a typical" copy-paste" email which said I should have a look at the attached PDF if it answers any of my questions. If not, I should send another mail.

Those are the only ways how to contact MobileMe - phone support told me they are not responsible for MobileMe.

Again - not what you'd expect!

Yeah I looked at it right before I posted and it doesn't help at all.

Actually I found the answer about a week ago and wasn't sure about it. He got the MobileMe box with the activation code instead of getting the trial and going from there. But my point is, what is everybody else going to do when they don't see a link to activate MobileMe?

[Ferdinand]

I found the link to activate MobileMe by going to .Mac Homepage, then ".Mac Security Policy", then to ".Mac Help", then to "Creating or Renewing a Membership" and then to "Using an activation key to create, upgrade, or renew a membership".

Then I clicked that link and it re-directed to MobileMe Activation:

https://secure.me.com/wo/WebObjects/.../wa/activation

Quite difficult!

Anyone notice that subscribed to calendars are not synched to iTouch (and I suppose iPhone). And it is impossible to subscribe to a calendar in iTouch either.
