    - Install Entourage from SBS 2003 CD? I have the Small Biz Server 2003 CD set and there's a CD labeled Entourage 2004 dated Nov 2004, but when I pop it in drive to install, disk cannot be read. I'm trying to avoid having kick off the whole Server install to get to this one disk, but maybe that's what has to happen. What I need is Entourage for one client/end-user, and I'm hoping that's what on this CD. Can anyone confirm process? Susan, many thanks Tag: Applescript: Delete Empty Folders Tag: 70836

    - No Entourage Changes in MS Office for Mac 11.3? Hello, I just updated my computer to begin testing Microsoft Office for Mac 11.3. After installation, I noticed that Word, Excel, and PowerPoint were updated to versions 11.3, while Entourage remained at version 11.2.5. I just wanted to make sure this was the proper behavior for the update.

    - Off by an Hour I just discovered a very odd problem on a staff members computer. When they make an appointment March 11, 2007 or later, the time displayed in the calendar is one hour later than in the event detail window. For example and appointment made for 9am on March 15, 2007 it will show up on the calendar as 10am March 15, 2007. When I open up the event to check it, it says 9am. If the event is for 9am on March 10, 2007, it will show up as 9am. For more info, this calendar is on an exchange server. This is happening on all users computers. All computers are running OS 10.4.8; some computers are running Office 11.2.5 and others are running 11.3. Same problem either way. Any ideas? Thanks Tag: Applescript: Delete Empty Folders Tag: 70832

    - Entourage archive problem I back up my mail by exporting it to an archive and then importing it to Entourage on another Mac that I keep only as a backup. This has worked successfully for years. Today I got an error that said: "Import Incomplete There was a problem saving one of your messages. You Office database may be damaged. Start the Database Utility to verify your database." It said "Import Incomplete" even though I was exporting at the time. The database checked out ok but I rebuilt it anyway. Same problem. I never used Apple Mail but tried importing all my mail into it - just in case Entourage became unusuable or the database corrupted. The import seemed to work fine. The only thing I've done that might have affected Entourage is I selected all mail with attachments and deleted the attachments. My version is ME 2004 for Mac 11.2.3 on OS X 10.4.6 Tag: Applescript: Delete Empty Folders Tag: 70830

    - Exchange Delegate Cannot Accept Meetings In our company, we have an administrative assistant that manages calendars for 5 people on her iMac G4(10.4.x and Entourage 11.3.0). Of those 5 people she manages calendars for, she can accept on behalf of two of them and cannot accept for the other three. The message she gets (in the yellow bar) when she cannot reply on behalf is: "The manage events on behalf of <executive's name>, you must configure your delegation settings." And the Accept/Decline/Accept Tentatively buttons are greyed out. See this screenshot: http://www.jeffpollard.net/test/entourage_problem.png I've checked and re-checked that this person's Entourage has delegate permissions set correctly in Accounts. I've also had our network engineers remove this person's delegate permissions and re-add them, all with no luck. The weirdest thing is that the permissions on the account that don't work are set the same as the ones that do work. Help! Tag: Applescript: Delete Empty Folders Tag: 70823

    - Upgrade of Office 2004 - my mail is gone :( I am running OS X 10.4.8 w/Office 2004 installed. While working today I was prompted to install the latest update to Office 2004. I did so and when I was done and I reopened Entourage I had an empty mailbox with a prompt to import my mail. As I have a couple of gig worth of mail, contacts, etc... I was stunned. Entrourage is now at 11.2.5 In poking around I have isolated my Entourage database (based on the name of database, the file assocation and the 2GB size) However, whenever I try and open it, it "opens" but I do not see my information - only the stinking "Welcome to Entrourage" default message. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am now dead in the water - as my contacts, daily travel schedule all reside in a DB I can't read Thanks, Kevin Barker Tag: Applescript: Delete Empty Folders Tag: 70812

    - saving email attachments with Entourage I am using Entourage 11.2.5 and it appears I can only save attachments to a limited selection of folders. I click the "Save" button in the attachment window and the "Where" popup has some random (?) selection of folders but no provision for me to navigate to a folder of my choice. I can't imagine a software package that does not allow the user to choose the location to save a file. Hopefully someone will tell me what I am doing wrong and not that this brain-dead limitation is actually a feature of Entourage... Tag: Applescript: Delete Empty Folders Tag: 70803

    - "message to verify they are valid." Huh? Hi, I am getting a strange error message when trying to send to ONE specific recipient who has a domain ending with ".biz". The error simply says "message to verify they are valid.". Nothing more and nothing less, which doesn't make any sense to me. It also says: "Mail could not be sent. Account name: "My Account Name"" However, the error number is -17099 so I checked the MVPS for Entourage at http://www.entourage.mvps.org/error/page.html#error-17099 . Sadly there's only explanations for Entourage 2001 and X. Of course, I have 2004, version 11.2.5. No other mail is stopped like this. I am NOT sending to more than this recipients when this happens (i.e. no mass mail or even CC/BCC) Any suggestions? TIA Jonny Tag: Applescript: Delete Empty Folders Tag: 70790

I tried to send an email to a friend with a 20mb attachment.. ever since I attached the file, my Entourage sits there frozen with the little colored pinwheel rotating. even overnight. I rebooted, same thing, I restart Entourage and when it finally loads, same thing, I am unable to select any other folder (like the outbox, so I can delete the possibly offending email) New Mail is received, but I cannot access it because of the freeze...

    - Using a bogus "sent from" email address I just bought Entourage 2004 and have not yet cracked the box. Before I do, a quick question: I have emails forwarded from a couple of different accounts to my Verizon address and I'd like all of my replies to look as if they are coming from one single email address. So can I have can I have all of my replies to look as if they are coming from one single email address that I specify? If so, how do I do it? For example, in Thunderbird, I can have emails sent from me look as if they are from seven_degrees77@XYZ.com, even they are forwarded to the mailbox I have at my ISP. Thanks!!

    - Entourage won't see the dictionary I have four new Mac Pros that I have installed Office 2004 on. In Entourage it would not spell check. If I clicked on the check spelling as you type box it wouldn't stay checked. I finally noticed that it didn't see the dictionary. But it also won't let me choose a dictionary. What could the problem be? Is this an Intel thing? I've never had this happen before but it does the same thing on every one of the new computers. -Jeff Tag: Applescript: Delete Empty Folders Tag: 70762

    - Entourage X for Mac and IE I have an Intel MacBook Pro. After the last round of updates, IE isn't loading properly. This isn't important to me as a browser issue, as I use Safari. BUT - I use Entourage, and I'd like to send out a mass e-mail that contains a link to my new website. Unlike in Word, where the program automatically turns URLs into links, the standard Entourage "Insert Hyperlnk" command asks you to insert from IE window, IE favorites, or IE history... and unfortunately, I hadn't visited the site via IE on this computer, and I don't know if it would link in anyway, since E isn't loading anymore. Is there another way to designate/create a link to a URL in Entourage X for Mac? Tag: Applescript: Delete Empty Folders Tag: 70761

    - Cannot delete message from inbox Hi, I've been having a problem with Entourage lately that I am hoping someone can help me identify. With some new messages, they will appear in my inbox twice. I can delete one, but cannot duplicate message from the inbox. Neither message shows up in my inbox in the webmail version of the email account (which is not a Gmail, etc. account) but it still shows up in my inbox via Entourage. I visited Mactopia and Entourage's help section, but I didn't find anything useful. This happened a couple of times yesterday, but it has happened 5 times today. A few of the messages are from email listserves, but a couple are from individuals. Does anyone know what the trouble is, and how I can correct it? BTW, I use OS X version 10.4.8. My email account is IMAP. Thanks for any assistance! LS Tag: Applescript: Delete Empty Folders Tag: 70750

    - Importing after reinstall... Hi, Does anyone know how I can import my preferences, messages, account settings, etc. after reinstalling Entourage X? I had to erase my Mac OS X operating system, and now I'm reinstalling my programs. I backed up the "Microsoft User Data" file, which I've re-placed in the Documents folder. However, Entourage is acting like it's never seen me before. And I have no idea how (or what) to import across the same program, since the Import Wizard only asks about other or older programs.

    - Security with Entourage (2004, Mac OS X) Is there any way to make Entourage secure? I want to prevent people from being able to access my email (both one's I have downloaded, and one's that are still on the server) and to prevent them from accessing my user identity in the Microsoft User Data folder. I'd like to password protect my account so that you would have to enter a password to get into the account, and to do the same to the contents of the identity folder. So far the only thing I've found is to set up Entourage to require a password to download new mail - this is only part of the solution - I need to protect what is already on my computer. Is there a way to do this? Tag: Applescript: Delete Empty Folders Tag: 70743

    - Entourage and Kerio slow Hi, we have 2 users who report their Entourage being painfully slow whilst updating its folders with the server.

We have tried recreating the account but this hasn't helped. We have also used the webmail version of Kerio and this is not slow, so all seems to point to Entourage. Any ideas?

    - REINSTALLING PROBLEM Hello All, Im hoping someone can help me with this problem. Basically, I have an ongoing problem with one of the machines in my office. All the software was installed before I joined and now one of the Microsoft packages on a G5 has died (well its lost its security code/serial number details) and I need to reinstall it. But the genius who installed the software originally did not mark on the packaging which pack belongs to which machine. Is there a way of finding this out with the application on the machine or will I have to install each version of the office one at a time, wait till it clashes with another machine, deinstall it then try again until it works...

    - problem: Fonts get smaller as thread gets longer I am running 10.4.8 OSX and 11.2.5 Entourage. When I get emails that have replies in them, I've notice the fonts get smaller as the thread gets longer. Even a non-Mac user is seeing these smaller fonts. They are so small, you can't read them. Example: (12pt font): thanks for emailing me. (received today) (10pt font): the meeting is tomorrow. (sent yesterday) (8pt font): when is the meeting. (sent 2 days ago) (6pt font): Are you going to the meeting? (sent 3 days ago) (4pt font): I'm fine. (sent 4 days ago) This may be a bad example, but as the thread gets older, the older messages get smaller. I can't figure out how to fix this unless I use non-html encoded emails. Any thoughts?

I use Entourage Email Archive X to archive emails. I've been using it
for years and now i have a ton of empty folders in Entourage.

Is there an Applescript to delete these empty folderse?

I envision it to work something like this but i don't know Applescript
so I'm not sure how to program it...

define folder
if folder is empty
then delete folder
else ignore
repeat through all folders

Thanks,
