Task Requests from Outlook 2007

I need to be able to send a task request from Outlook 2007 to a user who is
running Entourage 2004....and have Entourage show the item as a task.

From my initial tests, the items show up in Entourage as an email with no
way to accept the task.

Is it possible to do this? What tricks are envolved?
Do I have to have an Exchange server?

Sorry, but task syncing with Exchange is not supported at this time.

Thanks for the answer. One more followup....if a tasks originates in
Entourage can it be assigned to another Entourage user?

Hi Kevin!

That would still require Exchange support and as Barry stated in his
reply to you Tasks are not currently supported in Entourage with
Exchange servers.

Hope this helps! bill
