Snow Leopard & Managed Client Preferences

In Mac OS X 10.6′s Open Directory, when you add ManagedClient to managed preferences you end up with two com.apple.mail entries (one suffixed with .managed). One is called com.apple.mail.managed, which is used for Mail for 10.5 and below and frankly doesn’t seem to be complete, so I’ve manually populated my environment with keys from 10.5 [...]

iPhone and GroupWise

There is no built-in support for GroupWise on the iPhone. Apple supports a number of other services, but GroupWise has not been high on the priority list and honestly, I don’t know that it would be high on mine either… Having said that, it did pop up on my radar and I was able to [...]
