Tasks, Outlook, Todos, iCal

[airdesign]

Hello everyone!

I am really desperate for some help

I am new to mac and have previously tightly managed my life with Outlook's tasks, calendar, and all importantly its categories.

I have got a beta version of Plaxo syncing my Windows machine to my Mac so that I have my tasks as to-dos in iCal but the functionality is not hardly as extensive as in Outlook on Windows.

Can someone suggest an application I can use that is somewhat similar to Outlook's task management, whereby I can categorise tasks?

I tried a work-around, by instead of using categories in Outlook, I create separate task data files, and although that 'categorises' the to-dos on the Mac it is hardly as neat as on Outlook and I am left with a mess.

Can someone please help?

If you like the Microsoft way of doing things, then you will probably like Microsoft Entourage, part of the Microsoft Office 2008 productivity suite. Be warned: Although Entourage is the most reliable way to access Exchange servers from MacOS X and has a passing resemblence to Outlook, it is not Outlook. Entourage requires third-party software to import saved Outlook files. If you have .pse archives, then this will be an issue that you will have to deal with.
