 - Entourage X workaround did not work? I did the "unofficial entrourage x workaround" and times are still an hour off on the calendar display, but show correctly when you open the item. I opened them, made a change, and re-saved them, too. I noticed some things, the timezone file on the mac, and the one that downloaded, was timezones, NOT timezones.ics, and it was supposed to be located in Office x/office/timezones, but there was no timezones folder, the timezones file was just under office folder. Has anyone else had problems with the workaround? Tag: Error -3253 Tag: 75471

 - Entourage cutting sent emails short Entourage has been cutting short some of the emails sent by one of the users at our company. I have just updated it to Office 2004 for Mac 11.3.4 but am still having the problem. I have just worked out that it seems to cut any email short where there is a full stop at the end of a line on the 76th character. This only occurs within Entourage. When the same email is sent using Mac Mail or Outlook from a PC the email sends correctly. But when sent through Entourage the email is cut after the full stop. The section of the email that is sent is in plain text (whether the original email was sent in html or plain text). When you look in the Sent Items folder at the original sent email it appears normal and full length but obviously the recipient of the email only sees the text up to the where the full stop was. We use a linux email server with Altermime which adds a disclaimer to the bottom of each email. I presume however that this must be a problem with Entourage as all the users of other email clients (Outlook, Mac Mail, Thunderbird, Webmail) have no such problems. Any suggestions?

 - Trouble syncing with Palm TX after system limited reinstall I had to do a limited reinstall of MAC os on my IMAX after HP driver became corrupted. I can't synch now with a Palm TX and receive the following messsage. What do I do? Thanks HotSync 3.2 started 3/19/07 3:08:24 AM A conflict in the installed conduits has been detected.

 - "This identity cannot be opened with this version of Entourage" Good day, I have a user running Mac OS X 10.4.9 and MS Office X. After she updated to 10.4.9, she gets the "This identity cannot be opened with this version of Entourage" error whenever she launched Entourage. I have performed an advanced rebuild of the database and updated Office to version 10.1.9, but neither have successfully resolved the issue. If I remove her identity from the ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office X Identities folder, Entourage boots normally. Is the database just whacked? Or will I need to reinstall MS Office? Reinstalling is my next step but I wanted to see if anyone had a fix for this issue before I try the reinstall. Thanks in advance! John Tag: Error -3253 Tag: 75453

 - Any way to target meeting responses with a rule? I'm a recent mac convert, and so far, the only thing that I can't figure out how to do is this: Any time I send out an invite to a meeting, I like to know who's going to be there, so I request a response by default. This lets me open up the meeting in my calendar, and see a list of who's going and who isn't. However, I don't necessarily want 50 "Event accepted" messages to show up in my inbox. On Outlook, I had a filter set up that would move them all to a folder so that I could view the comments if necessary, without cluttering up my inbox. I can't figure out how to do this with Entourage's Tools > Rules dialog. Any ideas? Maybe an AppleScript that could just be run on all messages to check for something? Viewing the source of the meeting responses, they seem to be in 3 different categories. 1. Outlook/Entourage response, no comments: I can target these by looking for the Specific Header of Content-Type: text/calendar. 2. Outlook/Entourage response with comments, or iCal/AppleMail response: The message type is Content-Type: multipart/mixed;, and one of the parts has a Content-Type of text/calendar. The second type, I'm having trouble targeting with a rule. Any suggestions? Thanks. Tag: Error -3253 Tag: 75444

 - "Find Related Items" like PC Outlook version does? Hi, I use Outlook on a Win XP machine at work and Entourage on my Mac at home. I cannot find anywhere in Entourage where there is a command that behaves the same as the "find related items" command does in Outlook. I use this extensively on my work computer because it automatically finds any messages in my inbox and sent items which belong to the same thread and allows me to quickly select all those messages and file them in another folder together. There is a "Find Related Items" command in my Edit menu in Entourage but it is always greyed out. From what I can read about it, it will only find "related" items which I have manually created links to. Not very helpful in my opinion. Is there a third party script or something which gives Entourage the same functionality as Outlook? Tag: Error -3253 Tag: 75436

 - 1000+ Contacts No Longer Available in Entourage Please Help!!! Since yesterday (3/17/07) I have been unable to access ANY of my contacts in Entourage. I am the only contact listed in the Address Book. All of my email appears to be intact and I seem to be receiving new email as usual. Also, the calendar still contains the events that were there beforehand, although the links to contacts are missing. My "Database" file (located in the Main Identity folder; inside the Office 2004 Identities folder; inside the Microsoft User Data folder; located in the Documents folder of my User folder) is a 345.4Mb file (yes, I have a lot of contacts in there). I have rebuilt the database 3 times; once from within the Entourage Preferences (in the Spotlight section) and twice via the Entourage Database Utility, where I have also backed up and compacted the file. The resulting Main Identity Database file is 170.2Mb. Note: Shortly before discovering the disappearance of my contacts, I utilized the Apple Software Update program and installed "Security Update 2007-003 / Mac OS X v10.4.9", which upgraded my system from 10.4.8 to 10.4.9. The update required a restart, which I performed. I hope this helps and the problem is obvious to someone out there. I really need to access the missing info and I am in a desperate way as a result. It's probably very unlikely, but feel free to contact me directly at 720-234-5699 Thank you in advance for you time... Escher Van Korlaar Tag: Error -3253 Tag: 75415

I could only get my data by restoring from a backup ie it was an emergency situation.

 - Can't access old Identity data Hello... Last night I performed a clean install of my G5 system software (updating it to OSX 10.4.9 after initial install), and am now having no luck getting Entourage (v.X 10.1.0, updated to 10.1.6) to open my old Identity folder. After running the Office X 10.1.9 update (Entourage still shows as 10.1.6 for some reason), I restarted and then repaired permissions as instructed on the Entourage help page. I renamed my old indentity "Old Identity" and added it into my (user)>Documents>Microsoft User Data>Office X Identities folder (the same location as the newly installed "Main Identity" folder). When I attempt to switch identities from within Entourage, the program windows disappear and I receive a message: "This identity cannot be opened with this version of Entourage". Upon closing the dialog box, all that is left of Entourage are the menus (no windows). If I attempt to switch back, Entourage disappears entirely and is replaced with the standard Mac error message: "The application Entourage has quit unexpectedly...". I can no longer open Entourage unless I physically remove the "Old Identity" folder, which enables it to launch off the apparently preferred "Main Identity" folder. The file I'm mostly interested in retreiving is the Messages file, which, judging from the file size (10MB), is where all of my old mail resides. Sneaking this into the "Main Identity" folder doesn't work, Entourage seems to just ignore it. I was successful importing my old contacts via my exported Contacts Export.txt file. So at least something's working. Any and all suggestions as to how I might retrieve my old mail will be much appreciated! Thanks, Stee Tag: Error -3253 Tag: 75393

 - Unread mail wont appear in Bold I just changed my hard drive and copied over the Microsoft User Data folder from my old computer. All my mail is there and everything looks great except for some reason unread mail wont come up in bold in the list. I've checked the preferences and the box to show unread mail as bold is definitely checked. Any clues? Tag: Error -3253 Tag: 75392

 - Cannot start Database Utility I need some help. I'm trying to rebuild my Entourage database but I can't seem get the database utility to start/open. I've followed the steps listed in the Microsoft support Knowledge base; close all applications, hold down the Option key and open Entourage. Instead of getting the database utility window Entourage opens normally. I've tried several different times even holding both Option keys but I can never get the database utility. Any thoughts on what I can do to open the database utility? Thanks Brent Tag: Error -3253 Tag: 75389

 - Office notification -for re-scheduled reminders Hi, I use the Entourage calendar to keep reminders for bill and other payments. Since these are not always on the same day each one, two or three month periods, I move them to the appropriate day and month. However there is some inconsistency in the Office Notification when I move these. It seem sometimes for some they work, but at other times some don't produce a reminder at all on the due date. My queries are: Is this an expected behaviour, and Can they be made to provide a reminder without the need to remake them altogether? I don't seem to have trouble with reminders that are added as a series (eg a payment due on the first of every month). Any suggestions would be helpful. Dave Tag: Error -3253 Tag: 75384

 - Mini-calendars disappeared? I can't figure out how to get the mini-calendars back in my calendar view. The pane for them is there, but they don't appear - just the text at the top that says "Calendar (on my computer)" and "Calendar views." I miss them. How can I get them back?

 - Changing the From field in Entourage Is there any way to change the From field in Entourage 2004 to show another account I have access to without using the Delegate feature? Here is the situation as confusing as it sounds. We have a generic exchange account set up for the editor of our magazine (ex. editor@mymagazine.com) that is shared with the multiple editors (actual living, breathing people) for that particular magazine. These accounts are shown as Public Folders in Entourage. None of the users are set up as delegates. The question that has come up is if they can send emails as the main editor@mymagazine.com email account. In Outlook in Windows, the From field may be edited to the editor@mymagazine.com address and then the user is authenticated to that account before it is sent out. I am looking to see if this is possible in Entourage, either natively or with help from an outside application? Thank you in advance.

 - Can't Delete an Email I received an advertisement email from Linens-n-Things. Entourage immediately froze. After restarting Entourage, I find I cannot delete, move, forward, or otherwise affect this email. It is a stone monument in my Inbox. I get an error code: "The action could not be completed. An unknown error (16002) occurred" when I try to delete. This is the only email I can't delete or move. How can I get rid of it? Please reply to jberger5@adelphia.net. Thank you.

 - Is there a way to select the from field when replying to messages we recently migrated from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003 and have found that due to the use of Public Folders, when replying to messages that arrive to those folders the person sending the message will send it from his/her personal account as opposed to "xyz on behalf of". We have the ability to enable the "From" field on our PC environment, but not our Mac environment. Thanks for the help, Jorge E. Mejia Naples Daily News Tag: Error -3253 Tag: 75367

 - Spotlight Option missing from General preferences Help! I use Spotlight extensively on my Entourage mail database. The problem: I had to reinstall MAC OS X from the original discs the other day - I selected the option to retain my data, programs etc. All appeared to be well until I noticed Spotlight was no longer giving me results from Entourage. went to the Preferences and the button under General to use Spotlight is now completely missing. I am running 11.3.3 so it should be there. MS updates will not install on top of the current installation and I do not want to lose my data etc. Can anyone throw some light on how to fix this please?

 - Intermittent freezes since 10.4.9 update Since I updated my Intel iMac to 10.4.9 my Entourage v.X would intermittently freeze and I would have to force quit in order to get out of the program. I can relaunch Entourage and repeat exact what I had done just before the freeze and it doesn't happen again. Usually I can complete a session when this happens. When this happens I sometimes get an error message: -192 but not every time this occurs. What is error -192? The message window display includes the Entourage logo. So far the rest of my Office v.X apps have been behaving themselves. Any ideas? Tag: Error -3253 Tag: 75353

 - March 11-April 1 calendar times incorrect The following was posted on the Entourage Talk List by Jeremy Reichman Senior Desktop Systems Engineer, Information and Technology Services, Rochester Institute of Technology Hopefully, this will answer some of the questions involving problems with the DST patches. <quote> In our experience (and we did quite a bit of testing at my site), whenever you used a unpatched Windows/Outlook system or a pre-11.3.3 version Entourage to create an event (at least for Exchange calendaring), you will need to fix those events' data _after_ patching. The DST patches for Exchange clients, in our testing, did not fix data saved prior to patching. However, reading how clients save to Exchange calendars, this did not surprise us. The patches did, however, fix _new_ events saved to Exchange calendars after patching the client. </quote> This comes from another power user: > a good old fashioned reboot has cleared up similar issues. Some other > questions: > 1. They¹re on 11.3.3, right? > > 2. What version of OS X? > > 3. What¹s the OS X time zone? > > 4. What¹s the time zone and dst rule in the problematic event(s) (drag to > desktop and look at the DST and timezone info in the iCal part) > > 5. What¹s the default time zone in Entourage. > > 6.

 - Entourage DST issue...after the updates I have 20 Mac users and on Monday I spent the time to walkaround to each machine making sure they had the Apple DST update and the Entourage 11.3.3 update. There is one person on a G4 PPC laptop running OS 10.4.8 and Entourage 2004 v11.3.3 who is still having issue scheduling appointments. When she schedules an appointment for 1:00-3:00 it comes up as 2:00-4:00 on her calendar (unless you open the appointment...then it will show 1-3). All of the meeting attendees who accepted the appointment have it on their calendar from 2:00-4:00 (it says that even if you open the appointment). Has anyone else run into this? Her appointments schedule perfectly if she does them via OWA on the Exchange server. Thanks! Tag: Error -3253 Tag: 75343

 - Autofill (when typing a recipient) is wrong. . . how can I change it? In the past day or two only, when I go into an email, ex: john@msn.com I see two entries, one correct one and now a second that will say "delete john@msn.com" and it defaults to that new one. If I don't scroll up it will send and the email will bounce back. I don't know the name of this feature (where is autofills your email addresses) but these addresses are not in my contacts address book. How do I get in to delete those so I don't inadvertently send to these new entries? thanks enzosf Tag: Error -3253 Tag: 75342

I just installed Entourage, and decided to have my e-mails transferred to my
new mailbox, thinking they would still stay on the Earthlink server (and in
that inbox as well). Unfortunately, they didn't, and I called Entourage
support to figure out how to keep them in my Earthlink box from here on out,
but unfortunately I now have to forward the remaining 800 e-mails from
Entourage mail back to my Earthlink address. I have yet to try and send an
e-mail from Entourage mail, but I just got a message saying:

"Connection to the server failed or was dropped."

My question is, does anyone know why I might be receiving this message
error, and is there a way to fix it? Am I not connected?

Also, is there a way to forward multiple messages from Entourage at one
time?

Thanks for your help.
