 - Sharing Project Center Information It seems like you can only share Project Center information with other Macs that also use Entourage 2004. Is that correct? Pretty big limitation. Is the next version of Office for Windows planning on having a compatible feature? Otherwise, what seemed to be a convenient organization tool is essentially useless for real-world project sharing that have a very high proportion of Windows based users.

 - Sharing Calendars in Entourage 2004 We have set up a couple mac with Entourage 2004 to access our Exchange 2003 server. Mail and their personal calendar works fine but we want to get them accessing a shared calendar. When I go to Delegate and input the user name of the shared calendar it recognizes it but the user shows up in the view on the left as (not connected) and it never syncs any of the calendar information. I have a feeling I am missing something on the settings. The other thing is that the address book has not come over from the exchange server. May be part of the same problem. Thanks for your help.

 - SMTP/SSL email sending problem with Entourage 2004 from T-Mobile Hotspot Six months or so ago I resolved a problem that had been plaguing me for months - sending email via Entourage from T-Mobile and other "hot spots." The solution was that my ISP gave me an "SSL" code and I configured email sending to use it, solving the problem of sending from any location I came across. Upgrading to Entourage 2004 hasthrown me back into the morass. Somehow it does not allow me to use the SSL. WIthout it, I can send fine from home and work, but at "hot spots" I get the following message: Authentication failed because Entourage doesn't support any of the available authentication methods.

 - problem updating events/meetings on Exchange server I can successfully create events on our corporate exchange server, but when I open an event I previosly created, I cannot update/cancel it nor invite new people and so on. It appears that Entourage does not recognize me as the organizer of the meeting. In fact, I will see myself invited to my own meeting with my email address (instead of my Exchange user name). However, if I open my own calendar as a delegate, I *can* modify meetings. The problem is that I wind up with a calendar showing all events twice. Any ideas?

 - Contacts problem with Entourage 2004 Hello, I had to configure five Mac G4 OS X 10.2.8 with entourage 2004 so that it functions with the Exchange 2000 server of our company. Everything works fine for every Mac except one. I believe that the problem is the profile and not a Mac problem. Lets call the profile "Brigitte". Here's the problem: When I create a new message, and that I start to type the first letters of the name of a new contact and then I click on the button "verify the names" it gives me an error: Error: An unknown error (-3248) occurred. Explanation: Error of LDAP server. To see the error exactly, here's a print screen: http://www.gecko-electronic.com/download/printscreen.pdf I also checked the parameters of the LDAP server on every Mac and it's the same thing on all the machines and the Brigitte profile is identical to those machines. I configured the Brigitte profile on my MAC and my entourage 2004, which functions very well with my profiles and, with the Brigitte profile, I still have the same problem I mentioned above... Thank you! Yannick Tag: Entourage 2004 Out of Office Assistant? Tag: 41258

 - Entourage 2004 Crashes Hello, We seem to be getting an intermittent system freeze (kernel panic?) when using Entourage 2004 connected to Exchange running on SBS2003. Looking at the log at /var/log/windowsserver.log, the following message seems to occur before the system crashes: kCGErrorFailure: CGXDisableUpdate: UI updates were forcibly disabled by application "SystemUIServer" for over 1 second. Server has re-enabled them. The Apple Mac runs: Darwin 7.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 7.4.0: Wed May 12 16:58:24 PDT 2004; root:xnu/xnu-517.7.7.obj~7/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh powerpc This is a major problem as this version of Entourage is the only one that we have had any sucess connecting to our Exchange Server with. The system runs a 450mhz processor, but was previously running a 1.25ghz processor from GigaDesigns - the G-Cellerator. Entourage crashed while this upgrade chip was in the machine and the chip never worked again - it has been sent back to the manufacturer for testing. Thanks for the help, Tom Jermy tom(at)wredmile.co.uk ps, if there are different log files for entourage, please let me know, but the one above has numerous references to entourage. thx.

 - Spam and junk mail in Ent 04 Dear friends, I use Entourage 2004, Italian language, with OsX 10.3.4. The new junk mail filter works fine. I also receive mail from an account that have a tag - ***spam*** - in the subject, becuase the server detects the spam and send me the message with that tag. Strangely, the junk mail filter doesn't filter the mail with the ***spam*** tag. The basic solution is to create a rule for the tag ***spam*** in the subject, but it's strange that the filter doesn't detect this kind of maessages.

 - EntourageGPG with E 2004 Hi, I'm using EntourageGPG with Entourage X since years without any problems. With Entourage 2004 this scripts doesn't work any more. Decryption is not possible and with encryption/sign the signature is bad: There are some signs insight the pgp-mail wich changes the mail after encryption/clearsign. In the moment I start Mail.app to encrypt/decrypt mails (by the way the encryption tool is much better implemented in mail.app than in Entourage). I'm using EntourageGPG V 1.3 and I use "clearsign" without pgp-mime in normal cases. gpg is in version 1.2.3. Any solutions?

 - 2004 - Duplicate downloads of mail left on POP server Hi, I have several POP mail accounts, and I leave a week's worth of email on the server to protect against email loss between backups. Occasionally, Entourage 2004 will "forget" that it already has local copies of my emails that are on the server, and it will download all of them again, leaving me with duplicates. What's interesting is it only affects one account at a time. For example, two weeks ago, Entourage re-downloaded all my POPaccount1 emails, but today it wants to re-download all of my POPaccount2 emails. I have not rebuilt my database (I know the complex type will cause emails on the server to be fetched again), and I cannot seem to find a cause. Any ideas? And I'm sorry if this has been covered already. Thanks in advance. Eric Tag: Entourage 2004 Out of Office Assistant? Tag: 41221

 - Multiple Incoming Messages in Entourage? Outlook allows you to set up the same e-mail address with different outgoing servers so you can send messages from various locations. It also allows you to turn OFF recieving of accounts so you don't end up with multiple copies of the same message to each of these accounts. I can't seem to find a place to control recieving in Entourage. As a result, with one e-mail address set up with three configurations...you end up with 3 copies of every incoming message!

 - Delete error from POP 2004 Hi gang, I'm having a major deletion issue on Entourage 04. I have a pop account, with the option to 'save a copy on the server' enabled. When I get the message list on my inbox, I have the orange/yellow envelope noting that the message exists on the server. When I open the message, I have a hyperlink listed stating 'Delete Message from the Server'. When I delete the message from the server, it still exist on my inbox listing, only missing the envelope, meaning it's no longer on the server. At the next send/receive, the message re-appears, leaving me with 2 messages. One on the server, and one not. Is there any known deletion issues? I understand it could be a server thing, but does anyone have suggestions? Thanks, Jeff Tag: Entourage 2004 Out of Office Assistant? Tag: 41211

Last night I tried a routine sync and noticed it went extraordinarily quickly. Then I noticed the calendar on my Palm hadn't been modified. After repeeating several times I opened up HotSync Manager and found that double clicking on the Entourage Conduit had no effect.

 - Updated from 10.3.3 to 10.3.4 and all Entourage data has disappeared PLEASE HELP! Three weeks ago I bought a G4 Powerbook with Mac OSX 10.3.3 installed. I previously used a PC and it has taken me a long time to convert all my Outlook 2000 contacts and emails and migrate them to Entourage 2004 for Mac. However, until today all was working without any problems. Today I decided to update to 10.3.4 o/s and did so by downloading the update onto my windows notebook (which has an ADSL connection - my Mac only has a dial up connection) then burning the update to CD, inserting the CD into the drive of my Mac and installing from there. No problems. Re-started my Mac and went to Entourage to check my emails to discover that ALL DATA has disappeared from Entourage. The only thing in Entourage is the 'Welcome' email from Microsoft dated today at 14.30 (immediately after I updated to 10.3.4). I immediately telephoned Apple Support who basically said 'it shouldn't have happened - your problem is with Entourage so contact Microsoft' - so much for the 90 days free telephone support. I'm sure that the data is on my computer somewhere - perhaps 10.3.4 stores data differently from 10.3.3 - has anyone else encountered this problem? I know that with Outlook (the Windows equivalent of Entourage) all data was stored in a .pst folder but I have no idea how it is stored on a Mac. Can anyone tell me where to start looking?

 - Handheld Sync Missing from CD I'm noticing lots of questions regarding how Handheld Sync works with Office 2004 -- my problem is different: the Handheld Sync file is NOT on the Install CD under Additional Tools, as is widely reported it should be! The CD is a site-licensed copy from the university I'm associated with. I suppose I can go up through the hiearchy and try to find out why it's missing / obtain it, but I'm wondering if there's a quicker way. The file(s) doesn't appear to be posted to mactopia. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. Tag: Entourage 2004 Out of Office Assistant? Tag: 41178

 - Double project assignment (2004 Entourage) In my workgroup we deal with a new task that needs managing or assignment by using a project we call Collection. When someone gets a call or email that needs attention and classification (and they don't have the time to complete it) they create a fairly detailed task in the the Collection project so the office manager can pick it up and assign it (and generally make sure it doesn't fall through the cracks). One of the office manager's jobs each day is to make sure all the tasks dropped in the Collection 'pool' are followed up on, completed, or assigned - so she'll often take the tasks in the 'Collection' project and assign them to another appropriate project by using the Projects menu item in the menu bar. She'll double-click on the Task in question, click on the Projects menu, unselect 'Collection', select the project she wants it to be assigned to (say - Field Work), and save the task. The task disappears from her Collection project - and appears in the 'Field Work' project on her machine. But on other Macs sharing in the project, 5 minutes later the task in question is double assigned - both to Collection and Field Work. Anyone seen this?

 - Incorrect type justification in Entourage header fields I have a field formatting problem in Entourage 2004 that started happening only recently. Wondering if anyone can explain this: Symptom: It appears that Entourage behaves strangely after waking from sleep. Specifically, when clicking on any email (preview), or opening the item, or creating a new item, the 'Subject' field fills from the right and stays there. This also happens when typing in the To or cc: fields. Current fix: If I quit and restart Outlook, or if I restart the system, the problem is gone until the Mac sleeps and awakens. Then it's back to the same problem. I tried attaching a low-res screenshot (72 dpi, 128K) of the affected fields so you perhaps take a look for yourself, but the newsgroup server rejected it even though I've taken it down in size twice now. Any ideas? Something corrupted? Bug? Thanks. P.S. And why can't one attach a small image; seems to me this helps by providing visuals that often aren't easy to describe in words.

 - HTML mail, general slowness, personal data in vCard? I just got the Office 2004 upgrade, and Entourage was the program I was most looking forward to. I have to say I am a bit disappointed, but I am hoping an Entourage Maven may be able to tell me if I am going wrong somewhere. 1. HTML mail. When I scroll down a message, I seem to be getting quite bad refresh problems - the last line or so of the message is "slurred" down over the newly revealed space, like a bad TV effect from the '70's. The only time I have ever seen this before is on IE 5.5 on the PC. It's very annoying. Is this an Entourage issue or is MS telling me my first gen 12" PB is getting old? 2. Connected with that, I do find Entourage 2004 noticeably slower than Entourage v.X. It's fine, it's just not slick. I use IMAP mail for .Mac and while it's doing its thing - or if I am having the HTML problem above - I sometimes can't do anything else. 3. I still manually drag my vCards to Address Book for iSync etc. I did this with a file recently and noticed in the Notes field once in Address Book a string of letters and numbers. It looked a bit like a serial number, though it was not in fact my serial number. I am a little alarmed at the possibility of some kind of unique identifier being attached to my attachments (fine - of course if I want to send things to people presumably I am happy for them to know who I am but still...). It is repeatable, and the data describes itself as "UID:" - it is only added when there is data in the Notes field. What is it and why is it there? It is not in my Entourage file and I have not seen Address Book add this before. Thanks for any help. Alex -- Please remove obvious spam defence to reply by email.

 - Can't sync I just installed the newest version of Palm Desktop (4.2.1). I'm using Mac OS X 10.3.4 and Entourage version 11.0.0. Because Entourage wasn't synching my phone numbers correctly (it was changing Home numbers to Work and wasn't picking up Mobile numbers at all), I decided to stop using it and get my information correct in Palm Desktop and on my Palm IIIc and then start over with Entourage. So I reinstalled Palm Desktop, trashed my old Palm folder from the Documents folder and tried to have the handheld overwrite Palm Desktop. But now I can't sync at all because I get a Conduit Conflict error message! I changed all the Entourage conduits to Do Nothing, as well as the individual conduits for Address Book, Tasks, etc., trying to leave on only the ones that are Palm Desktop and not Entourage. I'm still getting the conflict error message for To Do list and Date Book. How can I set the conduits so they work? Better still, how can I uninstall the Entourage conduit for now, just so I can start over? -- Nan Tag: Entourage 2004 Out of Office Assistant? Tag: 41170

 - Entourage 2004 - Database Problem Using a Mac G4. My hard drive just blew up. Entourage (v.X) problems were the first sign as I had problems accessing messages, etc. I tried a database rebuild but it froze right in the middle. I was able to backup everything before the hard disk finally blew up. So new hard disk, upgrade to Entourage 2004. Try to import the database and all that comes into the program are my contacts, my calendar and my folders BUT there are no emails in any of the folders. Considering the file is 500meg I know my email messages are there but I can't seem to get them. These are critical to my business so any advice would be greatly appreciated~! And yes, I've learned to save my attachments and not store in the email program! Thanks - Chris Tag: Entourage 2004 Out of Office Assistant? Tag: 41168

 - Entourage X Attachment Anomalies Hello, I'm an IT manager and a couple of my co-workers are experiencing attachment anomalies in Entourage X. The anomaly they're experiencing is that when they attach files (this usually happens w/multiple file attachments, but sometimes with only single file attachments) as Entourage sends the email, it will either remove, replace, or add files or attach emails from other folders to the message being sent. When the user looks through the 'Sent' folder, they will see all of the correct attachments. However, when the intended recipient receives the message, the attachments have changed. Rebuilding the database does NOT correct the problem, and apparently switching to a new profile is only good for a time, then the same behavior re-surfaces in the new profile. My questions are: Has anyone else experienced this behavior as well? We have had several different people on several different machines experience the SAME behavior. Does anyone know why this is happening? I know the inner workings of Entourage are probably near impossible to understand. I'm not sure even Microsoft techs could figure it out <g> but I'm curious as to why this behavior is present (even with the latest service packs applied). Does anyone know how to prevent this behavior? As it stands now, we will probably have to move away from Entourage, as this behavior is a security risk. There is no way to tell when it's going to change attachments, or what it's going to attach when it does. Thanks in advance for any input. Please send any emails to: grdnwsl <at> mrichi <dot> com (change the appropriate items in the email address ;) Tag: Entourage 2004 Out of Office Assistant? Tag: 41164

Entourage is incapable of enabling server side rules on an Exchange
server. You'll need a Windows machine and Outlook or OWA to do that.
