 - Mouse wheel does not scroll preview reading pane Hi, I'm having a problem with Entourage 2008 that I think is a bug. I have the Logitech MX Revolution mouse and it has a scroll wheel on it. This performs the same as the scroll wheel on Apple's Mighty Mouse. The issue is when I am reading a long email that has complex HTML in it, the mouse scroll wheel does not reliably scroll the message down when the message is in the right-hand preview/reading pane. The weird thing is, it's spotty -- sometimes it scrolls, then other times it doesn't: if you get it working scrolling down, then try to scroll up, it doesn't work. Scrolling works fine in all other applications (well I haven't tried other office applications yet, but at least in all non-MS applications it works perfectly), and it also works perfectly in the middle pane that displays the list of messages. Note: I know to click the message itself to make sure the "focus" is on the reading pane. I've done that. But still there's this problem. I rely on the mouse wheel entirely to scroll while reading. (Note: the scroll arrows in the far right work flawlessly near as I can tell, it's just the mouse wheel that doesn't work.) Any ideas? I suspect this is a bug, hopefully someone can report it and investigate. Thanks! Tag: Address sorting Tag: 84899

 - [ANN] The Entourage Help Blog: "Alert sounds in Entourage 2008 break One of the hottest topics in the Microsoft public groups since Entourage 2008?s release on Tuesday is broken sounds. Customers are reporting that after the startup chime, sounds no longer alert them to new mail, errors and other activity. The problem has been narrowed down to Entourage 2008 running on Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) and is not related to the Mac?s Alert volume or Output volume settings. Clicking on the speaker icon next to each sound also fails. Three Entourage alert sounds appear to trigger the problem.

 - Failure of scanned image to import to Entourage 2008 I scanned an image using the MP Navigator EX software and my Cannon printer/scanner, as I always do. When I clicked on "attach to an email" and chose Entourage, the following error message popped up: FAILED TO SEND EMAIL. CHECK YOUR MAIL PROGRAM SETTINGS AND TRY AGAIN. Entourage failed to open an email window. When I used iMail, it opened a new email document window, attached the image and sent it off. What setting(s) do I need to change on my new Entourage 2008 to make this process work? Is this problem indicative that other links may also not work properly? Tag: Address sorting Tag: 84893

 - Entourage 2004 issues Hello! I have been using Entourage 2004 without a hiccup on my iBoook for over 2 years. However, about a month ago Entourage started to check and update my inbox, all my sub folders under my inbox, sent items folder, and deleted items at random. This is quite annoying because every time it checks these folders my arrow turns into a spinning ball and I am frozen from replying to email. I went into tools, run schedule, edit schedule to change the schedule without any success. It still checks all these folders at random. All I want to do is receive mail according to no set schedule. In other words I only receive mail in my inbox when I hit the send & receive button. Also, please advise how to stop these folders from being checked...it freezes me from my current activity and really bothers me. Thank you, Ira Tag: Address sorting Tag: 84869

 - How do you insert a link in an email message? In Apple's Mail, you can highlight a word or several words in an email body, go to the Edit menu, and then select Link -> Add... and a box pops up where you can type or paste in a link. When you close the box, the word(s) you highlighted become hyperlinked to whatever link you entered into the box. It's a great way to insert/embed links in an email rather than filling your message with visible (and often long and ugly) URLs. Is there any way to do this with Entourage 2008? Thanks.

 - Problem forwarding HTML emails I've had this problem in Entourage 2004 and unfortunately it's still in Entourage 2008. I think it's a bug, or else bad design, but maybe it's something I'm doing?? Here's the deal: I get a really nicely formatted HTML email, complete with graphics, from a professional source (newsletter, company, etc.) I want to share it with colleagues. I hit FORWARD and suddenly instead of the nicely formatted HTML, it loses the graphics completely and displays HTML tags in brackets -- i.e., the full URL's. How can I forward a message with HTML graphics?? This really makes me look unprofessional when I try to pass along info. It's worse than forwarding on a BlackBerry. HELP!! Totally unacceptable. In Outlook I can forward the same emails fine, no problem, but they just turn into tag gibberish on Entourage. BTW, I do have my default format set to HTML in the preferences.

 - Entourage 08 - Missing items from the Toolbar Entourage 2004 had a handy feature on the New E-Mail Toolbar that allowed me to move a message to a specific folder after it was sent. This is missing in Entourage 2008; it seems to be tucked away inside the Message menu, with no way to replace it back onto the toolbar. I'm disappointed. In the industry I work in, we are required by law to retain all correspondence both in and out, so I move all sent messages to a sub-folder specific to each client. Is there any way to script this feature back in? In today's era of "CYA on all corporate communications", I'm surprised this feature was made less accessible. Tag: Address sorting Tag: 84831

 - Entourage 2008 db corrupt & fails continously after initial import Well, I got Office 2008 yesterday and installed it immediately. Everything went swimmingly. I love it. I opened Entourage and was prompted to import my old identity. Note: I use exchange and have a huge mailbox. Total size of items to import: 17.1gb. I ran through the import process which completed in ~4 hrs or so. Enterourage opened, and everything worked great. I used it for about half the day in the office. I eventually noticed that email wasn't updating in my entourage (my pc desktop outlook had 20 newer messages..) so I closed entourage and reopened. On reopening I was prompted with a corrupt db message and asked to repair. The repair takes approx 3-4 hours to run, and the microsoft db repair utility eventually crashes. It prompts to send a report and to be helpful I went ahead and did this. I've tried a few things - rebooting and running the repair utility, etc. to no avail. It looks like I'll need to dump this db and start over.. but I'm hoping not. Any insight or guidance on what I might try would be appreciated. Note: I'm running 10.5.1 Thanks Tag: Address sorting Tag: 84828
