My client, an MIT phd in computer science, helped me set up my new airbook. I am new to macs and switched because of the constant crashing. Because I work in a Microsoft exchange server enviornment, I needed his help. One problem I am having is with remote access via VPN Tracker 5. I can see all files which reside on the g drive, but when I go to email a document via Entourage, the document is saved to my airbook so Entourage does not permit me to email it. I work around with my .mac email. The problem is that some recipients end up sending the email to spam. Also, I try to separate business and personal emails so it does not work to forward .mac emails to my office email. Any suggestions?

Hi Michael!

No offense, but I don't understand your problem.

So far, I believe you are connecting to your company network using VPN
Tracker 5. You're referring to a "g drive", which I will assume is
Windows share or a Mac volume on a file server. You have a file on the
file server that you're trying to attach to an Entourage message...

Am I following you so far? If so, the rest does not make sense to me.

Is the file on a server or is it saved to your airbook (MacBook Air?).

Why is Entourage not allowing you to send the file? What error message
are you receiving?

How is .Mac working around your problem?

If you are unable to send the message then how does "some recipients end
up sending the email to spam" fit in here?

How does trying to keep separate business and personal mail fit in to
your overall problem?

Please rewrite your question and be sure to state what you are trying to
do, what specific step is not working including any error messages and
what you have tried to do so far to fix the problem.

Thanks!
