DavMail: Humane access to Exchange from a Mac
DavMail is an Open Source app that allows Mac users without the “dream team” Snow Leopard/Exchange 2007 at their disposal to access their Exchange Mail, Calender and Address Book through Apple Mail, iCal and Address Book.
Works like a charm for me, including the handling of invitations and other “advanced” Exchange features. If only I have known about it earlier…

Snow Leopard Authentication Issues with Custom Keyboard Layouts
Like many people needing to program and to write German texts, I use the excellent U.S. Keyboard map with German Umlauts provided by Jan Borchers. However, there is a pitfall when upgrading to Snow Leopard: The “Please enter password to do this” dialog no longer appears when needed, e.g. when installing the 10.6.1 update.
Here’s the quick fix: Delete the content of ~/Library/Preferences/By Host and log out and back in. The authentication dialog should work now, but you lost the German Umlauts.
The complete solution goes like this: To regain the German Umlauts, delete the Roman.bundle in ~/Library/Keyboard Layouts. Now re-install the current version of it into /Library/Keyboard Layouts, and not into your home folder.
After that, your German Umlauts should work fine again. At least they did for me.
Wenn Unternehmen twittern…
Sehr geehrter Herr M., im Zuge der neuen Social Media Strategie unseren Unternehmens und als direkte Konsequenz unseres Workshops vom letzten Mai, hat sich die Abteilung X einen twitter-Account zugelegt und wird ab sofort twittern. Ich habe Ihnen den ersten tweet (siehe Worddokument) zur Freigabe geschickt. Herr K. hat aus Sicht der Pressestelle keine Bedenken. Mit freundlichen Grüßen F.
