 - Update for entourage 10.1.4 Ok, I assume that it's just my computer to cause me a lot of trouble, but when i tried to use this new update, my computer came back with an error on my disk, and then stopped. Now I can't open entourage anymore-it automaticallky quits. I assume this is due to the fact that the installer won't complete its installation, but I've re-started my computer, had it off for several hours, and nothing has helped. Has anyone else had this problem? Or more importantly, does anyone know how to fix this without re-installing Entourage? Tag: Auto address problem Tag: 27251

 - Backup Address book Can anyone help? I have my address book set up to do mass mailings to our association membership; about 250 recipients. I have them grouped alphabetically in nine folders. When I choose "export contacts" to backup, entourage only exports those addresses that are not in the group folders. As the list grows I add new addresses directly into the appropriate folder. That is to say they are not selected from the address book per se. How can I backup the groups? Thanks in advance, Michael Tag: Auto address problem Tag: 27245

 - Screwy Quotation Marks How come whenever I send an email to someone that has quotation marks in it, and they return the email with their response, my quotation marks have turned into garble characters?

 - Choosing Identity at Start-up Fails :( MacOS 9.2.2 MS Office 2001 SR1 Entourage 9.0.1 Hi, my first post to this group so thanx for your patience ... I just got Office 2001 recently and successfully migrated OE over to Entourage no problem. My girlfriend and I share this machine, so when we open Entourage we have the "choose identity" screen appear at start-up. This was working fine under Entourage until yesterday. While "enhancing" my new office suite I installed Office Quickview (a control strip module), but I found that it surpassed the "choose identity" screen and went straight to the last opened account. Fine, so I dumped it and all the associated preferences I could find. Well now I <cannot> get the "choose identity" screen to appear at start-up, regardless of how many times I check the "Show at Start-up" box or how many times I dump the Entourage preferences. I am SICK of navigating microsoft's help/knowledge base/faq's and I just want to fix this @%^&@ thing. Any suggestions would be 'O so very welcomed. Thanx, -J Tag: Auto address problem Tag: 27237

 - Multiple Addresses - Limitation? I am presently moving to another company and wish to take all the email contacts I have and send one message to them all. In the past, when I have tried to send an email to more than about 100 people, Entourage has not allowed me to. This email will go out to about 120 in one group and about 550 in another. Is there something that I'm not doing or not doing correctly that keeps me from sending this to everyone under one - in this case two - addresses? Thanks, Bruce Tag: Auto address problem Tag: 27225

 - Exchange Calendar syncing Still can't get calendar and addressbook-syncing work. Managed the free/busy-server to work. I just read at the helppage: When you connect to your Exchange account using OWA, does the URL look like this: http://yourserver/exchange/yourname? If the middle part isn't 'exchange' then Entourage won't be able to get your calendar and contacts. My path is http://myserver/exchangexxx/myname, because we have several stores on the Exchange-cluster, so this might be the problem. Somebody can confirm this, and is there a possability to get this solved? -- Otmar Kramis Tag: Auto address problem Tag: 27219

 - Exchange server 5.5 and Entourage My IT Dept are less than enthused by my sole Mac on the system and have not been very helpful ("if you want it fixed then you wil have to pay"!). They have Exchange Server 5.5, IMAP and LDAV activiated. I have read the support pages which are good if you have Ex 2000 but if you have an archaic It Dept with only 5.5 then it is a little more difficult. Do I need anything else set up if I only want to recieve email ie. free/busy etc....? Is the SMTP likely to be the same server? I have read that a "pathway" may have to be part of the server name when completing the set up program for Entourage - is this the case? any other hints for Exchange 5.5 sufferers? chris Tag: Auto address problem Tag: 27216

 - Applescript Help I am having trouble downloading a message from my imap server using applescript. I can not get the full source of a message when I have multiple messages selected using the code below. I do get the dialog but the value of theSource only contains the header information. I have set my imap options to only download the headers. I also tried with a delay after the download. Subsequent runs of the script generates the same "downloading message" dialog. This implies that the download did not work. Any ideas? tell application "Microsoft Entourage" repeat with theMessage in selectedMessages -- get the information from the message, and store it in variables set theStatus to online status of theMessage if theStatus is not fully downloaded then display dialog "downloading message" download theMessage end if set theSource to source of theMessage set theSubject to subject of theMessage end repeat end tell Tag: Auto address problem Tag: 27214

 - An error occurred while launching I have been happily running Entourage on a G3 Powerbook under Mac OSD 9.2 for 6 months or more and a week ago I went to start up and got an error message window: " An error occurred while launching the end of file was reached <OK>" I hit OK and the launch is cancelled. After reading the advice I tried a launch holding down Option and went initially for a simple rebuild and when that failed to resolve the problem a complex rebuild. This failed too. I have run Norton Utilities and Speed Disk and rebuilt the desktop and yet Entourage will still not launch. Strangely diary reminders I had set up in Entourage previously stil come up warning me of events! Can anyone suggest how I can resolve this problem? I have copied the Database for safety!

 - Entourage Crashing I have a couple of messages in my Drafts folder that I suddenly cannot Delete. This just started in the last 24 hours. When I try to select an error message comes up telling me that the action cannot be completed. Then when it does get selected and I select the Delete Icon, nothing happens. If I hit the Delete key, the program quits. Also, the messages do not show in the drafts folder, only a series of horizontal lines appear where the messages are suppose to appear. When I run the arrow curser over the lines, the message will then appear and then an error message comes window opens up. I have been being barraged with emails that are quarantined as virus, probably sorbog. Have been getting rid of them without problem. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of these messages in my drafts folder that are evidently the cause of my problem? Thanks "Sande" Tag: Auto address problem Tag: 27186

I open Entourage, it stays open until I click "Send and Receive", emails starts to download and all of a sudden the whole program closes. It happens all the time, just not on the odd occasion. It sounds like a virus but I have the latest updates and found no problems. All my other applications are running as they should.

 - Entourage without HTML-display Hello NG, I am new to the Mac and in my compay we use office:mac Here's my problem: I compose eMails just using text, I do not use HTML to compose Messages. But if someone writes me a mail that is formatted in HTML Entourage shows the formatted Mail. The only thing that I found so far is to not allow "Complex-HTML" (whatever that means). But even when I turn off complex-HTML Entourage shows HTML. I was used (using Outlook Express 6) to turn off the display of HTML-Mails completly. Even Lotus Notes (v.5.0.9a) shows the eMails without HTML-Formatting. And if I send an eMail formatted in HTML with Entourage it will always send the text-only-part, too. Please help me!

I tried to delete the events while I was offline (at home, finding them all then deleting them in large batches). However, when I came back to the office and it apparently synchronises with the Exchange Server, the rotten things have been created again!!!! So once again (@#$%^) I have done a Find for all Calendar events, sorted by Date, then selected all the multiples and deleted them in a number of massive batches. This time I have done this while on the network connected to the Exchange Server. I wait with some trepidation for what will happen tomorrow when I open Entourage... I'd love to be able to take all these holidays. However, I'd more happily settle to just have the ones that are due... -- Regards David Blaymires Tag: Auto address problem Tag: 27083

This was a nice feature until recently. Now when I start to type an address,
the popup list has many, many addresses I never heard of. I thought it was
supposed to show those in my address book. Where are these coming from?
Thanks very much.

They show up because those addresses are in the "Most Recently Used" list.
There's a button in Preferences in Entourage X to clear the list, and there
is a manual way to clear individual addresses from the list. See FAQ
article #10 on The Entourage Help Page for details:
