 - Entourage 2004 - Broken Rules and Tons of Spam I'm very frustrated with Entourage 2004. Under Entrourage v. 10, I created rules to filter out most spam. They used to work great, but now, under Entourage 2004, they stopped working. I'm also getting a ton of spam. It seems that the new spam filter no longer works as well. HELP!!!!

 - Synchronizing Audiovox SMT5600 phone with Entourage I lost my Treo 600 and can't wait until the Treo 650 comes out for GSM (I need a phone now). I'm thinking of buying an Audiovox SMT5600, which I think is a superb phone/device, but I'm concerned about synchronizing it with Entourage. I read mixed reviews about PocketMac phone software.

 - Corrupted attachment solution Using Entourage 2004 11.1.0 any attachments that I receive are corrupted. This includes .jpg and .pdf. This is after they are saved to my drive. Curiously, if the attachment is a Word document, this is not corrpted and opens fine as do Excel docs. I sent myself files that I tested before and they were received corrupted. I searched this group and found many mentions of corrupt attachments happening going back to early 2004 but I could not find any solutions. I'd love to hear if anyone has found some solutions!

 - How to Archive old mail and get ready for 2005 This is repost on the last day of the year for those that tend to put things off ---------------------- There may be other ways to archive your old mail files but the following is what I do toward then end of each year to get ready for the new year. Just did it while watching a DVD movie with the family 1. I already had a mail folder called "Archived Mail' with sub folders for previous years. I created a new sub folder called "Mail 2004" 2. Used the standard Entourage tip to drag my current Inbox and Sent Items files to the desktop. This created two mbox format files. It tales a few minutes so please do not rush. 3. Now drag the two new mbox files into the newly created Mail 2004 folder. 4. Check that these files are good copies of your current Inbox and Sent Items in the new Mail 2004 folder are correct. Check that they look like your current Inbox and Sent Items. If not correct, repeat steps 2 and 3 until you get it right. 5. Once you are satisfied (step 4), open your primary mbox and use the "Select All" and Delete Key to create fresh file that will contain your 2005 mail. Do the same thing with your Sent Items file. 6. After you finish the above I recommend rebuilding the database by starting Entourage with the Option key held down. The cool thing about this procedure and the reason I use it is I have almost instant access to old mail files. I just went in and stripped the attachments from the old 2003 files. I have folders for my old Eudora mail and separate folders for 2002, 2003 and 2004. Each year is a mouse click away in Entourage. I have probably made this sound too complicated. It is not! I just saved and stored the old mail. Season Greetings aRKay Tag: Automatic mail send/receive Tag: 48404

 - Incomplete Import of Entourage X data-->Entourage 2004 This is elaboration of my MUD file post from earlier. I have created a new identity in 2004, imported my Entourage X MUD, and have most (if not all) settings, but only message from 2002 and earlier. When I open backed up Entourage X (which lives on a different drive), I see all messages, so I know the data still exists. How can a bring all messages into 2004? And just for my information, why didn't that happen when I imported my Entourage X MUD? thanks Tag: Automatic mail send/receive Tag: 48403

 - Rules don't since installing v11.1.0 upgrade Hi, I have noticed that all my rules in the POP tab don't work anymore. Watching other threads, I tried moving one rule called Family to the top of the list of my rules. This rule has multiple criteria including one that says if a specific category (FAMILY) then move to this folder. As there are multiple criteria, the rule is set so that it applies if ANY of the criteria are met. All other rules are disabled, and this rule is the first one in the list. So its the first one that should be tried, and it should work, but it doesn't. Instead of the message being moved to the specified folder, it stays in my Inbox. Yet the message is very clearly categorised as being FAMILY. If I manually apply the same rule (Ctrl-Click then select Apply Rule) the message gets moved to the correct folder. I even created a brand new rule with just one selection criteria (the category) and then another one (with the sender's name in it), made sure they were the first rules and they did not work. -- Regards David Tag: Automatic mail send/receive Tag: 48400

 - AppleScript to autoquit Entourage Hi! I created an AppleScript to quit Entourage every day (so that it's not downloading my pop mail while I'm at work). This script is called from Entourage on a Schedule (which works just fine) and the script itself worked great under Entourage X. Now that I'm using Entourage 2004, however, I get about a 30% success rate - but 70% of the time, the application hangs and I have to force quit. Here's the script: tell application "Microsoft Entourage" activate quit end tell Any one out there have any thoughts on what I'm doing incorrectly? If I remove the "activate" line, it also works... but I don't know if that's the problem. Thoughts?

 - How to MAKE the icon animate? I have the opposite problem from many people here. In Entourage X I had a rule set up that when mail from a particular person came in, the icon would animate. This also caused an "extra" sound to play along with my regular "new mail" sound -- I think it was adding on the "error" sound, which I appreciated because it meant I had a visual AND aural notification of mail from this person. Now in Entourage 2004 this is not working. The rule is set up that when mail from this address comes in, the icon should animate. (It's turned off in general preferences.) When I get mail from this person, I do get the extra sound...but the icon doesn't bounce. Unlike most here, I want it to. (But only from this person, not for every piece of mail that comes in.) The rule is set at #1 and I have "Do not apply other rules..." selected. Since the extra sound is playing, I know the rule is working. But why isn't the icon bouncing? Thanks.

 - Entourage 2004 calendar issue Hi All, We have an Outlook 2003 user that needs to share his calendar with an Entourage user. He gave him the rights to the calendar and set the Entourage user up as a delegate on his Outlook account. Others we have done this for are working. For some reason on his particular account (Calendar, Tasks, Contacts, etc) the shared item shows up but no entires appear. So the Entourage user has the shared calendar but can never get any of the entries. Has anyone else experienced this? What do we have wrong? Scott Tag: Automatic mail send/receive Tag: 48353

 - Unreliable Exchange Server Connections Hello. I am using MS Office 2004. I have an Exchange Server at my location. I set up my Mac to authenticate inside the Active Directory the Exchange Server is on (using Active Directory Plugin). I have been using the Exchange Server with Office 2004 for almost two weeks now. I have noticed the following problems: 1. PCs in my office use a DNS entry for the Exchange Server. I am forced to use an IP address. This number is what IT calls the Exchange "front end server" (...136). I cannot connect at all to the Exchange "back end server." (...135) My Mac is using DHCP with AD DNS servers. I am behind the company firewall. 2. If I leave Entourage 2004 connected to the Exchange Server for more than two hours, I cannot recieve or send mail. I have to quit Entrourage 2004 and reconnect in order to send/recieve mail again. 3. Since 2004 Entourage uses WebDav, I have tried connecting to the MS Exchange Server by using an URL like "http://mail.exchange.domain.com". That did not work. Thanks.

 - How to Archive old mail and get ready for 2005 There may be other ways to archive your old mail files but the following is what I do toward then end of each year to get ready for the new year. Just did it while watching a DVD movie with the family 1. I already had a mail folder called "Archived Mail' with sub folders for previous years. I created a new sub folder called "Mail 2004" 2. Used the standard Entourage tip to drag my current Inbox and Sent Items files to the desktop. This created two mbox format files. It tales a few minutes so please do not rush. 3. Now drag the two new mbox files into the newly created Mail 2004 folder. 4. Check that these files are good copies of your current Inbox and Sent Items in the new Mail 2004 folder are correct. Check that they look like your current Inbox and Sent Items. If not correct, repeat steps 2 and 3 until you get it right. 5. Once you are satisfied (step 4), open your primary mbox and use the "Select All" and Delete Key to create fresh file that will contain your 2005 mail. Do the same thing with your Sent Items file. 6. After you finish the above I recommend rebuilding the database by starting Entourage with the Option key held down. The cool thing about this procedure and the reason I use it is I have almost instant access to old mail files. I just went in and stripped the attachments from the old 2003 files. I have folders for my old Eudora mail and separate folders for 2002, 2003 and 2004. Each year is a mouse click away in Entourage. I have probably made this sound too complicated. It is not! I just saved and stored the old mail. Season Greetings aRKay Tag: Automatic mail send/receive Tag: 48298

 - What is the difference between... I'm using Entourage 2004 for Mac (Version 11.1.0), and I was wondering what the difference between "receiving mails" and "refreshing message list" is. I just started using Entourage to read mails at my Hotmail account, and I've noticed that I, more often than sometimes, have to "Refresh Message List" to have mails appear in my folders. Along these lines, I've also noticed that my sent mails sometimes do not appear in the "Sent Items" folder until I "Refresh Message List." I even tried checking all the boxed in "Folder Synchronization Settings," but I don't see any difference. Could someone tell me what the difference between "receiving mails" and "refreshing message list" is and ideally optimized settings for Hotmail account in Entourage? Thanks.

 - Ent 2004 - Exchange / Large Mail DB Issues All, Just wanted to put a message out there regarding some issues I've been having since implementing Ent 2004 in our Exchange environment. Now, the disclaimer for this message is that I do understand that a lot of what I am proposing or asking about here is quite "far out" and may be quite unachievable. I definitely am aware of that already, and would prefer that people don't bother with the "there's no way that's possible" type responses. Maybe the only answer to this is that it is incorporated in a proper update from MS? (we can only pray!). But I am hoping that in the mean time there is someone out there that can help with any possible workarounds? Now, first I have to say that we initially setup all our Macs with Ent X connecting into Exchange. With a few of our Mac clients having used Ent X for quite a while for POP/SMTP (before we got Exchange) and having a relatively stable / happy time using it I thought it would be the same connecting through to Exchange... *coughs* But, I'm sure most of you are aware of the problems that Ent X has connecting through to Exchange - all the crashing, DB rebuilds required, etc etc... Not to mention lack of functionality as compared to PC Outlook or even Mac Outlook 2001 / OS 9... *coughs louder* Anyways - when Ent 2004 came out + I was able to get my hands on a new Exchange server media kit (to get the Ent 2004 client installer for free! :)) - I eagerly went about installing this because ANYTHING would be better for us than having to put up with the incompetence of Ent X. OK - so Ent 2004 was installed and pretty much everyone has been happy ever since. Except ONE GUY! :) Who happens to be a DIRECTOR of the company I work for and as such needs to be kept happy ;) Now, this guy has a very large mail DB. Around 15,000 messages - with the Sent Messages folder alone containing around 9,000 messages. On top of the amount of messages, he has a large folder structure for all his client and internal mail to be stored into. All the other guys have smaller, much more managable DBs. But this one guy has this large DB, and basically the one thing that was good about Ent X was the fact that it used IMAP for Exchange connectivity. So, with using IMAP as compared to WebDAV in Ent 2004 it didn't need to constantly sync itself with the server and bring every new message it found straight away. It worked more on an "on demand" basis. You click on a folder, and THEN it would download messages as required. So, basically with the large mail DB it didn't have much of a problem. It left each folder alone (other than Inbox / Outbox, etc) and didn't worry about sync'n until a "user action" required it to. Now, with all the great features of Ent 2004, the stability of the mail DB, of it's Exchange connectivity - the ONE great failing of it is it's use of WebDAV which constantly syncs EVERY folder (including all Public Folders) and brings down each message the minute it sees it there. Now, in some ways this a good feature - if you are using a small, more managable DB then you will have no need to wait for server message downloads again - and also Public Folder viewing is nice and snappy, etc. The BIG problem here with our friend with the large DB, is the fact that his DB is so huge that the cycle that Ent 2004 goes through with sync'n messages simply takes FOREVER! Up to 20 minutes he claims - altho I think that may be a bit exagerrated. But, nevertheless it takes a good chunk of time - and the whole issue is that the "Inbox" folder is stuck within that sync and is only carried out ONCE within a full cycle. What this results in is a very long delay in received email actually being shown / downloaded into the "Inbox". From this guy's POV this is simply unacceptable - and quite understandably so. Now, obviously there is a case here to say that this DB should simply need to be cut down with older messages archived, etc - which would of course solve the problem - but this guy needs to carry out searches across these messages often. So, they need to be very easily accesible. And also need to be "protected", ie. part of our back up process. Any of Entourage's archival options ("Export" menu feature or drag-drop to Finder) are nowhere near sufficient for the amount of messages, and the large folder structure we are talking about here. There are many, many workarounds I have thought of, but each brings it's own pros + cons to the table, and NOTHING is as good as keeping all the messages within the single Exchange DB as it is - something that is accessible through all clients (PC - Outlook, Mac - Ent 2004, Web - OWA) and is also kept within the Exchange server for data protection / backup. So, what I was thinking was - the ONLY way around this easily is simply to make the Ent 2004 > Exchange sync process able to do any of the following: 1. Have the ability to flag EVERY folder within a mail DB as either "on demand sync" or "always sync". So, basically all folders that aren't needed to be constantly sync'd can be pushed to "on demand", and start acting like Ent X IMAP / Exchange folders used to. This will largely decrease the amount of time a sync takes and solve the issue. Is there any reason why the switch to WebDAV in Ent 2004 would change the possibility of this occuring as it used to in Ent X? 2. If the above isn't possible, then make an "Inbox" folder sync occur at much higher priorities, so that no matter how long the full sync takes, messages are still being received at regular intervals. Why can't the "Inbox" folder just be constantly sync'n at the same time as "main sync" process takes place? Bandwidth issues? Surely not?! Now, both the above seem to be quite low-level solutions that would most probably need to become an MS Update to the actual code running all these functions within the program. The question is - how easy would these things be to implement for MS? How could pressure be put on them to implement this in the next Entourage update? There are definitely no settings that can get this working within the Entourage Prefs. I understand there are MANY things out there on the wishlist for Ent 2004 - but this is a HUGE issue in my books. And as such it is a HUGE issue with a rather simple fix just waiting to be implemented by MS... (please MS!) Are we expected to just have mail DBs with small folder structures and HUNDREDS of messages rather than THOUSANDS? When at the same time an Ent X / Exchange could handle this setup with no problem? Or are we just expected to wait for this sync cycle to complete and believe "20 minutes isn't that long a time, so it's OK?" Or are we expected to just change back to using IMAP/SMTP protocols for Exchange functionality and lose a lot of the other good things that come with the Ent 2004 / WebDAV setup? The organisation I work for is rather small + as such only ONE guy is experiencing this - with the other mail DBs being much smaller. I would expect this to be much more of a problem at a larger organisation. It's quite strange I have heard nothing about this here?! Is anyone else experiencing this? Or are they just putting up with it? Is there, ANY way of getting the above noted options working by other means? AppleScript? Some kind of changing of "internal software" prefs that could somehow get this working how I wanted? Any help would be MUCH appreciated! :) TIA + Merry Christmas! :) Michael Tag: Automatic mail send/receive Tag: 48279

 - .Mac email going into main Entourage account I have Entourage 2004. I have a .Mac account and a regular POP email account. I set up the .Mac account as an IMAP account in Entourage. However, when I receive emails sent to my .Mac address, it always goes into the regular, main POP email Inbox, not the .Mac Inbox. This doesn't seem right. By contrast, my Hotmail email goes into the Hotmail Inbox, not the regular POP Inbox. I'd appreciate any comments or help. Thanks. Tag: Automatic mail send/receive Tag: 48278

 - Trying to remove Entourage messages from Server Thanks to the great scripts already out there, I've gotten this far! But now I need some help. I direct certain messages automatically to subfolders in my Inbox. Sometimes they're marked as read, sometimes not. Regardless, for certain subfolders, I would like to write a script to remove them from the server. Since some of these folders have hundreds of messages in them, I only want to apply the script to messages received today or yesterday, or within some recent period. I've discovered that if I don't do this, it takes forever to run the scripts. Here's what I have that I was hoping would work, but it's not: tell application "Microsoft Entourage" repeat with m in messages of folder "United" in folder "Inbox" if online status is fully downloaded then set m's connection action to remove at next connection end if end repeat end tell I get the following error with this script: Microsoft Entourage got an error: Can't get online status. And there are 2 messages out of 26 (this is a small folder) in this folder with a fully downloaded online status. (And they're really still on the server, I checked!) Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm using OS X 10.3.7 with Entourage X (10.1.6). AM Tag: Automatic mail send/receive Tag: 48275

How can I set my Entourage to automatically send and receive mail every
minute like Mail OSX? I'm sorry for such a simple stupid question but I
have looked everywhere and cannot figure out how to customize my Mac to
allow this. I like Entourage and wouldn't mind using it to replace Mail as
my Mac email client but, well, click send & receive constantly isn't my
preferred path.

Thanks.

It's through Tools, Schedules, then Edit Schedules, choose Send and
Receive All, choose Edit and set as a repeating schedule of whatever
frequency you like.
