First, let me say that I love Omnifocus. No other app compares in power, and using it has significantly improved my life. It is worth at least 50x what I paid for it. The availability of Omnifocus was a signifcant reason I switched to the Mac platform.

That said, I have followed the advice here, and it always does help temporarily, but the problem always returns. The problem is that the sync problems are not fundamentally a support issue, they are a software architecture issue. Telling users to contact support as if it is some problem with their configuration rather than a problem with the software itself is disingenuous.

In any case, our goal in recommending this approach isn't to assign blame - it's to try and solve the problem as quickly as possible. Support that takes the customer's particular combination of variables into account does that, and stands the best chance of getting the dev team the information they need to fix the problem for everyone else.
It's absolutely not the customer's fault if (for example) the WebDAV server they use handles things differently than the other ones we've worked with. It may be something we need to address in our code. Before we can do that, we need to find out more about what's going on.
I know you're frustrated, and you don't necessarily have time contact us, and I'm truly sorry I need to ask you to do so. Especially if the problem keeps coming back in the manner you describe, I want to figure out why and fix it, so it doesn't take more time from you in the future.
That's how we helped Bill and Dennis get the performance they're reporting now, and we can do it for you if you let us. Trust me, they didn't always have it so good. :-)
(I didn't forget about the technical suggestions you made. I'm not an engineer, but I will show this to them, and post again with more info.)
