finding new contacts since a certain date
Does entourage have a way to find contacts that have been entered since
a certain date? Or a way to sort them by date entered. There is a date
modified field, so I can get a list of contacts that have been changed
(which does include new ones), however I can not find a way to tease
out the new ones. I'd like to do this periodically, so I can add them
to my gmail white list.

Calendar events lost icon!
Within the Calendar in Entourage 2004, a small icon used to appear next
to a Calendar event (on the left of the event window) if text was
entered in the main window of the event page, just as a bell appears if
you have set a reminder for an event. All these icons have disappeared
from my Calendar, and now it is impossible to see which calendar events
have text written in their main window without opening them. Can anyone
please help in suggesting a way to get these icons to reapperar? thanks. Tag: Dragging from Entourage Task list to Calendar? Tag: 73045
Entourage X not transfering all my emails from a G4 to macpro intel dual core
I just bought a new MacPro 2.33 G and transfered all my info from the
old G4. Entourage did not transfer all my emails and I am having
problems retrieving e-mail from my different accounts. It did not
transfer my addresses either.
How is Office x behaiving with the Mac Pros. I do not want to buy the

Automatically Populates Person To Send Email To
Hi - I'm trying to personalize a group email. I have a group. I am an email.
I'd like to begin the email with a personalized salutation (Dear Bob or
Sally or whatever) but can't seem to figure out how to do that.
Any suggestions on how I can do this?
I'm currently working in Entourage (obviously), but am open to other
options/systems - just would like to try to accomplish my goal, above.
Thanks,

MI5 Persecution: Dirk Gently on the Toronto Case
Dirk was on the West Coast when he got the call. An old
friend at the Toronto police department thought he would like
to fly up and take a look at a homicide which had occurred
the previous evening. He decided to skip the last day at the
World Holistics conference and take the next plane out of
San Francisco.
The flight was bad; Dirk had been hit on the back of the head
by the Newspaper trolley, the drinks trolley, the dinner trolley
and now the gift trolley. When the hostesses weren?t trying to
tear his arm off they pestered him to stop leaning into the aisle
- ignoring the fact that the guy next to him was taking up one and
a half seats. Air Canada used to be the flight which was so
good you just didn?t wanna get off - on this occasion Dirk
would be glad to see the back of the plane and the over sized
alternative comedian wedged into the window seat.
After breathing in a couple of lungfulls of crisp Canadian air
Dirk took a taxi into town. There was a small group of
demonstrators outside the MacDonalds and the taxi driver
insisted on stopping on the opposite side of the street. ?Don?t
Eat Meat? the placards read and the demonstrators chanted. A
couple of policemen where stopping the crowd entering the
restaurant itself - one held up his arm and challenged Dirk. A
wave of the fax he had been sent and the policeman pushed
open the door.
There were few customers in the restaurant. Not surprising
really with a demonstration going on outside, half the dining
area roped off with tape and a dead body seated at one of the
tables. ?Mr Gently sir? the officer in charge called out as he
peeled one end of the tape off a column ?We were told not to
touch anything til? you got here?.
The body of the man slumped awkwardly in a chair. Then
even a dead body would start getting uncomfortable in a
MacDonalds chair after twenty minutes - and this one had
been there for at least eighteen hours. Two back legs and the
tail of a cat hung out of the man?s gaping mouth. Dirk turned
to the officer, ?I suppose you are going to tell me this is the
darndest thing you ever saw??
?Ain?t this the darnd...?. The officer seemed annoyed that Dirk
had second guessed him. ?We?re removing the body in a few
minutes, so if you can get through as quick as possible?
?Many people eat cats in fast food restaurants?? Dirk asked
and without waiting for an answer leant over the table to pick
up an untouched burger. ?And what?s this?? he asked waving
it in front of the officers face.
?It?s a Vedgie Burger? The waitress, who was cleaning one of
the adjacent tables, shouted across. She walked over to Dirk.
?We started doing them because of that lot out there? she
nodded towards the protesters who were pressing there faces
against the windows ?They?re called Linda McCartney Vedgie
burgers - ever heard of them??
Dirk suddenly felt faint, perhaps a combination of hunger and
jet lag. ?This is deja vu all over again? he thought to himself.
He glanced at policemen - at the badge on his shoulder ?OPD?
but this wasn?t Ontario this was Toronto. OPD - Officially
Pronounced Dead. It dawned on Dirk what was happening, he
knew what he would see if he looked out of the window. Sure
enough, there it was, the Volkswagen Beetle parked across
the road - number plate 28IF - 28 IF Paul McCartney had
lived. And amongst the lyrics of the song blaring out into the
restaurant he could pick out the words ?I buried Paul?. Now it
was though Dirk was viewing the whole scene though a TV
screen. This was conspiracy. Not -a- conspiracy, or -the-
conspiracy, but just plain conspiracy.
?You look faint - are you OK mister? The waitress asked.
Dirk shook his head ?Probably a bit hungry? Then to
economise on dialogue took out a pack of cigarettes and held
it out towards the girl. She was about to take one but Dirk
snatched the pack away, held it up to his mouth and drew out
two cigarettes. He lit both then passed one of them to the girl.
It was the closest he had come to a sexual encounter in three
months.
?Want a Burger?? the waitress asked.
Dirk looked down at the Vedgie Burger on the table. ?No
thanks - just a plate of fries?
The waitress walked away and Dirk looked around the room.
Apart from a family seated in the far corner there was only
one other person in the restaurant - and he wasn?t eating. The
guy was about mid twenties and had straggling, shoulder
length hair. On the table in front of him were lots of pieces of
paper cut into squares. Every so often he would pick up a
camcorder and pan it around the room and then, when he was
finished, speak into a microphone which was attached to a
tape recorder. Dirk walked over to where the man was sitting.
The small pieces of paper had paragraphs of text written on
them and were stuck to the top of table with blobs of mustard.
Lines had been drawn, some solid some dotted, on the table
top with a marker pen. The lines ran from one piece of paper
to another.
?What are the lines for?? Dirk asked, realising straight away
that ?What the hell are you doing?? would be more
appropriate.
?You see? The man replied nervously ?The dotted lines are
weak links and the solid lines are strong links. The dotted
lines are things which are happening in the rest of the world
and the solid lines are things which are happening to me. Now
you see I draw over a dotted line, replacing it with a solid line,
when I can link something back to me. Like this? The pen
squeaked over the Formica and before Dirk could interrupt
the man added. ?You see I lost my short term memory and, as
a consequence have a very short attention span. I write down,
record and film everything then put it all together later?
?So? Dirk interrupted. ?You filmed what happened here??
?Yes, yes, it?s here on this tape? The man pushed the cassette
across the table. On the label the words ?Grassy Knoll? had
been crossed through and replaced with ?MacDonalds?.
Suddenly the man sprung from his seat. Dirk turned and saw
that the body was being removed on a stretcher. As it passed
the man picked a small object off the edge of the stretcher
itself. ?This is important? he said, laying a blood stained bullet
on one of the small pieces of paper on the table.
Suddenly the room was filled with a deafening throbbing
sound as a Black Helicopter landed in the street outside. Two
men in United Nations uniforms got out and collected the
stretcher. Back at the table the long haired man was replacing
all the dotted lines with solid ones. Dirk panicked and began
to walk backwards at some speed. Barging through the swing
doors he stumbled into the kitchen, tripped and felt himself
sink slowly into a large vat.
?The guys fallen into the batter? Dick heard someone shout
before he sunk below the surface. He came to sitting in a chair
with the batter solidifying all over his body. He surveyed the
room through two eye-holes someone had cut. Suddenly the
chair on which he was sitting was picked up carried through
the restaurant and out of the building. As the chair was being
lifted and put into the back of a van, Dirk caught a glimpse of
the waitress following him. ?Your fries mister, your
plate o...?.
The doors of the van shut and Dirk tried desperately to steady
himself as it sped across town. Eventually the doors flew open
and Dirk was flung into the road at which point the solidified
batter shattered and set him free. Standing up he found
himself outside the international departures terminal of
Toronto airport.
In the departure lounge Dirk had time to reflect on the day?s
events. He had got caught up in the conspiracy theories and
the haphazard welding together of pieces of irrelevant
information. It was time to catch the person who was
operating the bizarre cognitive engine which appeared in
front of him like a fairground mirror, distorting any flaw it
could find in his own, fragile, map of the real world.
Dirk leant into the aisle of the plane as it took off for London.
The oversized person next to him swung his arms violently as
he complained about every thing from the supper in a plastic
tray to the state of British politics. With a shaven head and a
badly fitting suit the man looked as though he could have
worked behind the reception desk of the Kremlin. However
when he spoke he did so in a Liverpudlian accent. ?Me I
blame the Con-serv-a-tive government, me. The Tour-rees.
That-cher. Me. They need a good kicking? He jerked his feet
forward and struck the seat in front with his Doc Martins.
?With these. Me Doc Martins. Doctor Martin?s, Doctor
Martin?s, Doctor Martin?s Booots!? The phrase was now
being sung over and over again as the man writhed in his seat
and clicked his fingers.
Dirk looked down at the boots and thought of the reaction
most people used to deal with the paranoids at the end of the
wire. A nice quick kick. ?Oi nutter - get some therapy?. This is
the easy way out and perhaps the safest. After all there you
are sat, alone, in front of the screen. No body language
between you some paranoid. No way of telling if he really is
some gibbering psycho. Look at it too long and you be drawn
in. Fall into the tangled database of weird links with him. Who
knows he may be watching you, reassembling and linking your
experiences with his. How sure are you of you own cognitive
threads. After all cognition is only a bug fix for a neurological
system which was designed in a hurry - it?s abused by
everyone from politicians to advertisers. If people really can
convince each other that a bottle of washing up liquid is as
exciting as an orgasm using just television God knows what
they can do with a computer. Better to avoid the risk. A swift
kick. After all if you?re Homophobic you put the boot in
because you are scared of any ambiguity in your own sexuality
- why not be Nutterphobic as well.
Although Dirk would have liked to devoted time to tracking
the culprit down he decided to let it rest. The Internet
changed over the next twenty odd years. A lot of the people
who used it went out and got lives. And those who already
had lives burnt them away. The number of users had dwindled
after someone had invented a C++ program, with truth as a
variable, to deal handle politics and government. Dirk had
already retired from finding old ladies cats with the help of
obscure science when he got another call from Toronto.
It was 4th March 2025 when he booked onto the Air Canada
flight from Heathrow. The silver haired woman in the seat
next to him painted bright red lipstick around her mouth. ?Of
course it was no surprise to be offered the job after Claire
Raynor retired? she sneered? After all I used to be a
psychiatric nurse... Now if Blokes had periods they would
understand...?
By chance the taxi ride to Toronto mental hospital took him
past the MacDonalds - where the whole thing had started. Of
course it was barely recognisable having become a Church Of
Scientology Vedgie Bar. Police in riot gear kept the two sets
of demonstrators apart. Dirk didn?t really know what to
expect when he got to the hospital. The girl at the reception
desk directed him to a row of chairs in a wide well lit
corridor. There was a strong smell of disinfectant, the
furniture and the carpets were immaculately clean and behind
the rows of teak veneer doors the ?nutters? were all safely
locked away. For some reason Dirk started thinking about
CompuServe forums.
A tall blond woman in a white coat approached. ?Mr Gentle, I
assume?
?Yes? Dirk replied shaking her by the hand. ?You?re the nurse
who...?
?Doctor? She interrupted, ?Doctor Killfile? She led Dirk across
the corridor towards one of the doors then stopped with her
hand resting on the handle. ?Now you know about this person
don?t you?? and after Dirk nodded she continued ?Don?t tell
him anything about yourself - don?t let him get into you head.
If he does he?ll screw it up?
The door opened to reveal a frail man sitting in from of a TV
screen. He had a keyboard on his lap and next to the television
was a computer screen. Dirk glanced at the walls of the room
and remembered that his settee at home need upholstering.
The nurse left the room and the man looked up ?So you come
to my daughters wedding and ask me to kill a man? he said in
a dry cackling voice. ?Look? he continued, pointing at the
screen, ?I know that man. They?re talking about me now -
listen?. The man stared at Dirk. ?What?s your name? Are you
one of my friends from the Internet? - Are the lambs still
screaming Dirk??
Dirk, at first recoiled in horror, then felt a sense of anti
climax. So this is what they hyped up to superstar status on
the back of their own fears of madness. Dirk was reminded of
the film ?A day on The Beach? where a submarine had set off
to search a post nuclear World to track down a signal coming
from a remote military base - only to find it was being sent by
a Coke bottle half balanced on a Morse tapper. Outside the
room the nurse waited for him. Because his nicotine craving
had returned - and to avoid an awkward piece of dialogue -
Dirk turned to her and asked . ?Patch??
Dirk took two nicotine patches from his wallet the first of
which he stuck onto the inside of his arm. Stepping closer to
Doctor Killfile he opened her white coat and slid his hand
into the opening at the front of her dress. He pressed the
patch onto her leg as close to the top of her inner thigh as
he dare. She took a deep breath and then slowly breathed out.
?What Bogart could have done with these things? Dirk
thought to himself.
?Is he crazy?? Dirk asked tilting his head back to towards the
door.
?Who knows? Doctor Killfile replied ?We let him type away.
He sees something on the TV in the morning and it keeps him
busy all day. What he types doesn?t go anywhere it just stays
on a mainframe in the basement. It can be read by anyone else
in the building but that?s it. We got them all in here conspiracy
theorists, racists, nationalists. They?ve created a world within
a world really...? Her voice trailed away and she stared down
the corridor for a while then added ?So long are two things
are different neither will come to be in the other and so
become at once both one and two.?
Dirk gave her a puzzled look ?You mean their brains are
fried??
?Fried?? Killfile smiled at Dirk ?No that was Plato?. Then the
smile fell from her face. ?You must remember, mister, plate
o...?

MI5 Persecution: Security Service Tribunal Denies
Security Service Tribunal Denies
In June 1997 the Security Service Tribunal wrote to me regarding the complaint I had brought against MI5 in February. They say,
The Security Service Tribunal have now investigated your complaint and
have asked me to inform you that no determination in your favour has
been made on your complaint.
Again, I do not believe their denials. I think MI5 *has* taken the action against me as described, and is refusing
to admit what they have done. To the best of my knowledge, the Security Service Tribunal has *never* found in favour
of a complainant. This tends to strongly suggest that MI5 lies on a routine basis, and the Tribunal can't fulfil its
functions in the face of Security Service falsehoods.

Hi,
I open my mail, address book, and calendar panes in separate windows. This
has worked fine for more than a year with Entourage 2004. Suddenly, a
monthly calendar column is appearing in my address book window under the
folders ³contacts² list when I am not hiding views. As an example, this
pane currently shows the January ?07, May ?09, June ?09, and so on monthly
views.
My first question is how do I turn off the calendar pane in my address book
window? My second question is why does the monthly calendar display jump
from January ?07 to May ?09 and then increment from the month of May ?09?
While I can certainly continue to work through this, it is very annoying.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Entourage email pane column headings
I use Entourage to access my MS Exchange mail server at work. I am
genrally happy with the program, but one thing annoys me: whenever I
set up or access a mail folder for the first time, I have to remove
four column headings (conversation, project, category, received) and
add three (to, size, sent), because that suits my use of email.
I cannot find anyway of setting this as a default for my email windows,
or even a script that would do it for one or all folders.
Has anyone solved this?

Lost Mail, Projects, Accounts, Categories, etc
Hi
Running 10.4.8 on a MacBook, Entourage 2004 11.3.2. Several hours ago
I restarted the Mac, opened Entourage, and was asked by the program to
set up my account, as if I were a first time user of the program. None
of my mail, mail folders, projects, categories are visible. I have two
mail accounts that I use Entourage for, a gmail account and a work
account that I access via IMAP. I am not so concerned with the gmail,
as it is fully backed up on google. However, I use Entourage for my
Getting Things Done (GTD) workflow, and all of my mail, projects, docs,
etc are stored on the Mac. If this had happened on my PC, I know how
to reassociate my .pst files, but am not sure what type of mac file to
look for and if the association process is the same. Can anyone
provide guidance? Feel free to ask any clarifying questions.

MI5 Persecution: Communications with Security Service Tribunal in 1999
Communications with Security Service Tribunal in 1999
I took some more potshots at the SS-Tribunal in the first half of 1999. The correspondence between myself and the Tribunal
Secretary is detailed on this webpage. Ultimately I decided not to pursue another complaint with them, partly from Robin
Ramsay's advice (and that of a solicitor I consulted), but mostly because it was rather obvious from Mr Brooks' replies
that the Tribunal has no investigative means of its own and is that useless animal, a toothless watchdog.
Included with this first letter was a copy of the leaflet, "Complaints about the Security Service". This tells you that
the Tribunal can order "the service to end its inquiries about you; the service to destroy any records it holds about
those inquiries; the quashing of a property warrant; financial compensation". Yeah, right. Look, there's a flying pig, oink-flap, oink-flap.
My subsequent letter to Nick Brooks, Tribunal Secretary, dated 25 March 1999, said;
Dear Mr Brooks,
We spoke on the phone last week and you kindly sent a copy of the form,
"Complaints about the Security Service".
I have a few questions which I should like to ask you, before I undertake the task of
making a formal complaint. As you know I made a complaint in February 1997, and in June
of that year the tribunal made a bland and unsatisfactory statement that "no determination in
your favour has been made on your complaint". During our phone conversation I expressed
the view that the Tribunal was incapable of performing its functions and acts as a
whitewashing body for the Security Service. My questions are as follows;
(1) Has the Security Service Tribunal ever during its existence found in favour of a
compaint against MI5?
(2) Is the Tribunal able to disclose whether "no determination in your favour" is made
because MI5 claims to have no inquiries on a subject, or whether it is made because MI5
admits to actions against a subject but claims justification?
If disclosure is not possible for individual cases, then in 1997 for how many cases
(out of what total) did MI5 claim justification?
(3) Is the Tribunal able to investigate information such as British Airways passenger lists,
given that these could conclusively prove MI5 involvement? Would the Tribunal be forced to
rely on MI5 to carry out such investigations, or would it have some other means of
investigating? It might look slightly ridiculous for the Tribunal to rely on MI5 to investigate
their own misdeeds.
When I made my previous complaint to the Tribunal in 1997 I gave very little
information as to the nature of my complaint. This time I intend to give as complete
information as possible; but before I do so, I would ask you to answer the questions above, to
outline the "ground rules" for a Tribunal investigation and reporting of its results.
Yours sincerely,
Mr Brooks replied by sending me a photocopy of two pages from the 1997 Report of the Security Service Commissioner, as follows.
The photocopied pages from the 1997 Report follow.
In particular, the answers the report gives to my questions are; the Security Service Tribunal has NEVER found in favour
of a complainant; see sections 29 and 31 of the scanned report. Nick Brooks has confirmed orally over the phone that he
has no memory of the Tribunal ever finding in favour of a complainant.
Secondly, the question of whether the Tribunal is able to disclose "no determination in your favour" is because MI5 claims
to have no inquiries on a subject, or whether it's because MI5 admits to having inquiries but claims they are justified. The
answer to this one is in section 24, which says the ambiguity is intentional; and the Tribunal will in no circumstances give
an unambiguous answer of whether MI5 claims or disclaims inquiries on a subject.
In section 27 of the report, SS Commissioner Lord Justice Stuart-Smith says the blanket denials "might lead some to speculate
that members of the service are carrying out operations involving unlawful interference with property, such as the installation
of eavesdropping equipment, without first obtaining a warrant from the Home Secretary." He goes on to try to deny this speculation.
But we've heard from Peter Wright that this went on all the time in the 1960s. So why wouldn't it still be happening now? Of course it is.
The Tribunal Secretary had avoided answering the question from my previous letter, of whether the Tribunal had any independent
investigative capacity. So I asked him again.
Dear Mr Brooks,
Thank you for your letter dated 6 April enclosing an extract of the 1997 Report of the
Security Service Commissioner. This answers two of the three questions asked in my letter
of 25 March.
The third question remains. In 1993 I travelled on a British Airways flight on which
there also travelled four men, one of whom stared at me, laughed and said, "if he tries to run
away we'll find him". I took this to mean that these were the men who had been pursuing me
for some time in the UK. This leads me to ask again the last question in my previous letter;
(3) Is the Tribunal able to investigate information such as British Airways passenger lists,
given that these could conclusively prove MI5 involvement? Would the Tribunal be forced to
rely on MI5 to carry out such investigations, or would it have some other means of
investigating? It might look slightly ridiculous for the Tribunal to rely on MI5 to investigate their
own misdeeds.
I would very much hope that some means is available to the Tribunal and
Commissioner to investigate possible MI5 malefaction, other than relying on MI5 themselves.
When I receive an answer to this question from you, I will work to put together a more
comprehensive and detailed complaint for the Tribunal's consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Brooks' reply was;
Brooks doesn't want to give a direct reply to the question, since that would place him in a bad light. So he gives an indirect
answer; the tribunal, he avoids saying, has no investigative capacity; there is no mention even of any investigative capacity
provided by MI5 themselves; nobody can investigate anything, all the Tribunal can do is ask MI5, and they, in their "Alice in
Wonderland" world, can redefine the truth as it pleases them, and dissemble, and lie.
Before deciding not to put another formal complaint before the Tribunal, I asked Robin Ramsay, editor of Lobster magazine, what
he thought of the idea of making a complaint to the Tribunal. He replied;
RESPONSE Yes it is a waste of time. They will do nothing.
In a further email he elaborated;
As for quoting me on the Security Service Tribunal - if you think my
comments would mean anything, feel free. The problem people have is
this: they almost have to go through the motions of going to the
Tribunal for if they don't they will always be asked, 'Why didn't you
go the proper authorities?' (This is one of the chief functions of
'the proper authorities'.)
Robin Ramsay
So the sum of the various parts of this story is; DON'T GO TO THE TRIBUNAL. If you do, then MI5 will open a file on you (if you
don't have one already). Don't do as I did, do as I say. If you feel a really deep-seated urge to complain, do so first under an
invented name, which will make you understand just how useless the Tribunal is, how little information they provide, and how
unpleasant it is to know that you have given MI5 a reason to officially open a file on you in their Registry.

Repeating prompt to rebuild database
I am a novice at posting, but have been encouraged this is the way to go to
resolve my problem. So bear with me if I don't do this correctly
I have recently purchased as iMAC with System 10.4.8 on it. I ported my user
identity and all applications through the T connection from my prior system
(G4. 10.3.9) All appeared to be in order, but I had some problems with
Entourage right away in that I couldn't use the search function in my
address book and it wouldn't recognize my other Office programs when I would
go to launch a file from within Entourage. I used repair permissions in the
disk utility function, and this problem went away.
Subsequently, I have been getting warning messages out of Word that I cannot
save a file as there is not enough room. Try closing programs, etc. I have 2
GB of memory and 250 G of hard drive space, so there is some other issue at
work here. And actually the file does save, which I learned when I did have
to quit out of Word and when I reopened the file, it was intact with all
recent changes. I found that when I rebooted the computer, the problem would
stop for that day.
Today, I got an error message in Entourage that I had a database error and
needed to verify my database. I did that, and was told to rebuild, which I
did. An hour later, all was completed, I went back to work, and within one
minute, got the same message in Entourage.
So what do I do? Is this a Word issue, an Apple System issue? Help! It never
occurred in my prior system. I have been installing updates when alerted,
but perhaps have missed something. I am in version 11.2.5 in Entourage.

entourage, exchange, and NUMERIC_HELO
I work in a mixed-OS office where some users are on XP & Outlook, and
some are on OS X & Entourage. We use a hosted Exchange provider.
The issue is that the mail coming from Entourage has an additional
"Recieved: from...." header that shows our office IP address and no
resolved name. Spam Assassin is giving us points for responding to HELO
with a number and not a name. We are using private IP addresses behind
a NATing firewall, and the IP that is showing up is the external IP of
the office, not the interal IPs. Entourage is configured to use the
Exchange host as an exchange host (not IMAP or POP), and there are no
servers in the config other than the provider's servers. Our internal
firewall is setup such that port 25 is inaccessible from the outside.
The mail from Outlook to Exchange coming from users in the same office
does not have that last "Received: from" header and thus is not getting
flagged by spam assassin.
My searches have not turned up any help.
Any tips, pointers, or ideas would be very appreciated. Tag: Dragging from Entourage Task list to Calendar? Tag: 72928

Read Receipts
I have read through the previous posts I could find about read receipts,
however all that I could find were posts asking how to setup Entourage to
request read receipts when email is sent. My problem is that my Entourage is
sending read receipts to people that email me and I want to stop this. I
know that from the responses to the earlier posts that this is not the way
Entourage should work, but it is sending read receipts.
I have searched through my scripts folder and I can¹t find any that would
cause this. Also, I have checked the Rules in Entourage and can¹t find
anything there either.
Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks,

Duplicate messages appearing in sent folder
Hi,
When I refresh the message list in the Sent Items folder, duplicate messages
appear. There is only one copy on the IMAP server, so it is an Entourage
display issue I think.
I have been using Entourage 2004 for about a month now with no problems, but
this has just started happening today. Messages sent since the last time I
repaired the message list (which removes the duplicates) are being
duplicated.
Thanks for any help

MI5 Persecution: Eye Say, and Lord Gnome Answers
Eye Say, and Lord Gnome Answers
My interactions with Private Eye started in May 1995, shortly after I'd started bleating on usenet. I tried to get the Eye
interested in my case, as I thought they more than anyone have their finger on the pulse, and would surely already know
something about my case. In my first email to them, entitled "pas de bouteille?" (wot no bottle?), I asked if they had the
nerve to publish what was known to many thousands of people. Their email flunky answered;

Given that I couldn't provide the evidence to persuade the Eye of the credibility of my claims, I did the next best thing,
which was to take out classified adverts in their "Eye Say" and "Eye Tech" columns. My motivation for doing so is obvious;
the Eye is read both by many thousands of ordinary folk, but also makes its way into the homes and consciousness of the UK's
political and media elite. It is also a known favourite with "Five". What better way of taking the fight to the enemy?
The first small ad appeared on 10 Jan 1997 in issue 915 in "Eye Say". It ran in that column on 24/1/97 and 7/2/97. On 21/2/97
it ran in "Eye Tech", and on 7/3/97 and 21/3/97 again in "Eye Say".
I then changed the ad's wording to read "BBC Newsreaders Conspiracy", and the new wording ran in "Eye Say" from 4/4/97 issue 921,
18/4/97 to 2/5/97. The word "xenophobic" in the first advert had been intended to convey the sense of exclusion through the bigotry
of my enemies, both on the basis of race and mental condition, but it seemed a bit too non-specific. "BBC Newscasters Conspiracy" was
a little more immediate, although readers had to actually wade through the website to find out what it was that the newscasters were
conspiring to do.
My next effort tried to spice up the text. "MI5/BBC Conspiracy" ran for six issues in "Eye Say", from 5/9/97 issue 931 until 31/10/97.
I suppose there is something a little sad about somebody who knows he has mental illness, placing adverts about a conspiracy in which
MI5's watchers enable BBC newscasters to personally and directly communicate with him while reading the news. It is pretty sad, but
unfortunately it is also true, both in the objective reality we all inhabit, as well as in my own mind.
There followed a hiatus of about a year until I resumed advertising on 2 October 1998. I paid over £200 for six months advertising
of the new improved text "MI5 Persecution, BBC Newscasters Spying on my Home". This text ran from issue 960 until issue 972 (19 March
1999) in "Eye Say".
Private Eye's editor Ian Hislop denies knowing anything about my case, as the following email illustrates.

MI5 Persecution: Counter-surveillance sweep by Nationwide Investigations Group
Counter-surveillance sweep by Nationwide Investigations Group
In July 1994 the private detective agency Nationwide Investigations Group conducted an electronic counter-surveillance
sweep of my parents' home in London. They checked for radio transmitter devices, and tested the telephone line for attached
bugs. They found nothing.
I am afraid that I was unsurprised at their not finding any evidence of covert surveillance. It had been made very clear to me,
particularly during 1990-92, that audio, and almost certainly video, surveillance of my parents' home was taking place. But this
would not have been made quite so obvious unless the persecutors were confident of their apparatus being undetectable using the
technology the police, or a private agency like Nationwide, would be using.
I don't know very much about the surveillance technology that has been used against me, but I understand that devices can be built
which switch off on receiving a coded command, and may switch on again after a counter- surveillance sweep has completed; that devices
may rapidly alter the frequency of transmission, "frequency-hopping" devices which presumably cannot be detected in a sequential scan
of the sort employed by Nationwide; and of course "probe" microphones can be inserted "through-the-wall", although I hesitate to
believe our neighbours would permit this.
We paid Nationwide £411.25 (including VAT) for the surveillance sweep, which took them about an hour and a half to complete, using
a "Professional 5000 multi-scanner, CCL UHF scanner and Guideline telephone tap detector." As I said above, I don't know very much
about these things, so I can't comment on the capabilities or otherwise of this equipment. But clearly the "watchers" are using
technology which in 1994 was beyond the detection capabilities of a good private detective agency.

old email address keeps rising from the dead.
I have a friend using Entourage 2004 with OS X 10.4.8 on an older tower
G4 computer. She has a friend whose email address changed and she did
change it in the Entourage address book and deleted the old email
address. Yet everytime she sends an email to this person, the old
email address shows up (along with the new one) but the old is is
highlighted as the default. She has to manually click the new address
to have that be in the email. the old and new email address contains
"drovio". When you just type a "d" the old address shows up and when
you type "dr" the old and new shows up.
What I did to try and solve this. (1) used Spotlight along with the
finder "find" command to locate every instance of the old email address
in Entourage and elsewhere and deleted all the emails with the old
address still in her identities data base; (2) Completely rebuilt the
Main Identity data base; (3) emptied her deleted items folder
permanently; (4) emptied the contents of the trash can; (5) deleted
some Entourage preferences in the main and user libraries (5) restarted
the computer several times.
In spite of all this when Entourage is launched and you start a new
email, when you begin to type in the first or last name of the contact
in question, the OLD email address STILL shows up and is highlighted as
the default. No known example of this old email address appears in
Entourage and associated data base anymore and yet the name still keeps
appearing first. When I use spotlight or "find" it no longer finds
anything with the old email address in it.

How do you autoBCC each new message back to yourself?
Besides automatically having each new outgoing message filed in the
"Sent Items" folder, I like to have an email client also send a BCC
copy of each outgoing message to me. Other email clients which I use
make it easy to set an autoBCC function. I've never been able to find
any preference or setting which will permit this to happen
automatically in Entourage 2004. As a consequence, I have to manually
insert my address in the BCC prompt box for each new message. What
