Is this really a fact? The only reason I ask is because I've posted a
bizzillion emails on the Apple website and no one ever responds. Finally
today a person from Europe said he figured it to be an issue with time zones
not matching (pc time zone vs. iPhone time zone). But, I know I set up the
iPhone to be my Chicago time zone and also my pc is set the same, so that
cannot be the reason (though he states it corrected his problems).

An apple PHONE agent told me to first get a 'good' copy of my pst file and
then he wanted me to set up a 'test' user and go from there. I don't have a
'good' pst file as my iPhone has wiped things out. And, I do not want to sit
and match iPhone to Outlook and update my Outlook...would take forever. I'm
also hesitant to sync my iPhone if I were to set up a new pst as my iPhone is
all correct.

So, where do I go that will keep me informed of this issue they're working on?
