My laptop hard drive recently gave me the finger & then died. I was racking my brain trying to figure out how to back up my calendar/life. I found that Yahoo Go does a great job with the contacts, but didn't offer a way to sync the Outlook calendar. And with the rate that I update my calendar to schedule life, I need to sync often. Then I found OGGSYNC. It rocks...choose the freeware version (of course). You can sync your Q Outlook with your Gmail calendar. It may support other email systems, but you have to have Gmail ... sign up for it ... it's free. So, everything is all backed up... until I settle on a new laptop ... if I do. (I have a secure server at work, that doesn't allow us to sync our smartphones or pdas. With a little export / inport, my Q is also synced with my work Outlook calendar.)
