Hello all,
I've been using Easy2Sync for a long time, but now I've updated my laptop to Windows 8.1 (which it looks nice by now) and this piece of software is not working anymore.
Do you know of a similar software that could work in Windows 8.1 without spending money on it?
The requirement would be to be able to synchronize e-mails, tasks, contacts and calendar between two computers.
Computer A could start the software which would take a while synchronizing A and B computers.
Any hint here?
I've used public sync tool years ago, but it has stopped being compatible too with Windows 8 and moreover it forces outlook to be open in both computers. I would prefer a free solution that would work at file level (with PST files).
No automation needed, only start it and wait for it to finish.
As always, thank you in advance!

I looked for this for some time a while back and concluded:
1) There isn't a good solution for free;
2) There isn't really a great solution at all; and
3) The whole PST file concept (like every other mailbox format that uses a single, gargantuan file) is faulty. One file per email, a directory full of those files instead of a PST file, would solve the entire problem by allowing simple, generic file synchronization to work perfectly as email synchronization. Contacts, appointments, and tasks could be done the same way.
Too bad no truly good email clients exist, either, leaving Outlook + Taglocity the most decent inadequate solution out there, so I'm still stuck with PST files for the time being.

At the end I've replaced the way we are working and switched from POP3 to IMAP... now all the e-mails get in synch... and all the other things will be switched soon to google services so they'll be also in synch.
Thank you!

Do you have a non-programmer in your life? A boss or coworker who just doesn't get why you throw running chainsaws at them?
Well send them this[^].

Most of my programmer colleagues are non-programmers. Does it count?

No! It's part of your job's description (the small letters on page 456...)! 
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Thanks, now the email notification of this post just interrupted me implementing this nuclear plant safety state machine I am working on.

Or was that supposed to be < ...
Hmm. Oh well, time for coffee. I'm sure the testers would catch it.

I might leave a comment in the code though, as the regression test did not catch last time in Chernobyl.

Comments? Tests?
FFS, man up! Real programmers remove all comments before building and deploying direct to live. Double points if you don't archive the source code.

Nah, they wanted to be extra sure and after the beta tests appended a series of gamma (ray) tests!

Reading some of the comments are just as fun as the actual comic strip.

Now do I or do I not have the cojones to send that to my boss.
I wonder.

I was in that exact situation last Friday and kept getting interrupted by the same twat through the day about a poxy video conferencing system.
Eventually I gave up on what I was working on, swore very loudly and pressed the eject button.....

Yay!! Happy monday morning to everyone... I've just started my week editing code written by an intern back in 2006...
Is there someone out there who's starting his/her week worst than me?

My week started with a visit to the dentist. Probably not the worst way to start a week, but still pretty crappy.
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.

Not the worst way? What could possibly be worse?
