Note: Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook isn’t supported for Mac. Microsoft Outlook
for Mac doesn’t support the Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI), which
is required for Google Apps Sync to communicate with Outlook. This Outlook limitation
makes a Mac-compatible version of Google Apps Sync infeasible.
