A lot of work has been done to TntMPD to help those who are syncing for the first time and have thousands of contacts in Outlook. This latest version is much faster, has many less prompts, and much better handles update conflicts between TntMPD and Outlook. In other words, it's much better at dealing with the mess! Thanks to all those who tested out the latest beta and gave me feedback (especially Scott Mitchell and Andy Henry for your feedback on Outlook Sync)!
A lot of work has been put into this beta, so please download it and test it out. Also, there are some new items needing translation as well.
To download this release, under the "Help" menu, click on "Check for BETA Updates".
Thanks,
Troy
