I run Parallels primarily for Outlook (Entourage is just awful). I would like to know if there is a way for Outlook's notifications, such as new mail, upcoming appointments, etc.) to appear on the Mac side. Parallels in always running in one of my spaces, but unless I am actually using Outlook, I am working in the Mac spaces. Thanks.
If you are not married to Outlook, take a look at Zimbra. It has a lot going for it and maybe you could leave Outlook. Hope this helps a tad.
