 - Why the antiquated RULES process still? I was hoping, praying, (and obviously dreaming) that with Office 08 Entourage would bring update and make more modern the entire process of creating rules. But nothing's changed there. In Thunderbird, once you've received an email from someone you can simply click on their email address and make a "Filter" (rule) for that person on the spot. Why isn't Entourage able to do something so easy? Tag: Master Identity, why so many up? Tag: 87852

 - Syncing 2008 Entourage to Handhelds The Microsoft plug-in, Handheld Sync Installer, does not work on Entourage 2008. Therefore, I can't sync my Entourage data with my handheld. Is there a new installer and if not, how does Microsoft propose we sync our Entourage data to our handhelds? I happen to have a Treo 650 Smartphone running a Palm OS. I realize there is a jerry-rigged solution that costs money - purchase the Missing Sync, sync Entourage to your Apple programs, and sync our handheld to the Apple Programs using Missing Sync. I purchased that product and it isn't working perfectly, very buggy, it can't even sync my phone to the Apple programs, let alone get over to Entourage (new calendar items - phone to iCal). I'm looking for a solution from Microsoft given my expectation that they won't retreat on solutions where demand is growing, i.e. increased use of smartphones. Tag: Master Identity, why so many up?

 - Entourage aggravation - column layout Entourage has a jillion columns in the list view. I like just four. For every folder I have, setting each one up is painful. Not only can I not set a default to say, "All folders should use these columns, and sort this way", but to remove a column, you have to summon a menu for every single column: no "checkboxes in a sub-window, click click click and done", it's "aim your mouse to the column titlebar, right-click for menu, pick the item, aim your mouse again on the column bar, right-click, etc" Driving me crazy. I've probably spent an hour or two of my life so far, doing nothing but laying out the columns the way I want. Really, really hate that. Tag: Master Identity, why so many up? Tag: 87828

 - Automatic 'Tentative' accept of calendar invitations not working - Hello all, 1) It was with great relish that I removed Office 2004, installed Office 2008, and built a fresh identity recently - because I read that the problem with Entourage not automatically accepting invitations and adding them as 'Tentative' to the calendar had been fixed. My sodding invites still have to be read, and I still have to click one of the response buttons for anything to appear in the calendar. It's caused me to miss meetings in the past and nothing I've tried via Database Verification or Rebuild has helped. Did I miss an announcement regarding a bug here, or does anybody know if I'm missing a very simple setting in Preferences, etc? This one thing in particular drives me insane. 2) Timezones and emails (including invites) - if I email messages from my Exchange (2003) server and my Leopard (10.5.1) MacBook Pro is in say, EST, and I then later move back to PST - the blasted emails remain fixed with a timestamp that reflects when I downloaded them in EST. This is completely the reverse of how things work in Outlook (from about 2000 onwards if I recall correctly). One of the most obvious effects is in the conversation view - older emails appear to be newer, which basically breaks the conversation view. It's the same in the Inbox list although easier to think about and deal with. Frankly, in a corporate office environment people receive lots of email (I get 300 to 500 a day, depending) and lots of calendar invites and updates (I get probably 2 dozen a day) and whilst I love my Macbook, I spend more time managing email than I ever did in Outlook (so much that I'm thinking of moving back). Am I smoking rope or are others in the same boat? Thanks, NickW Tag: Master Identity, why so many up? Tag: 87822

 - Office 2004 for MAC/Using Exchange server Hi, I have a user with OS-X 10.4 using Entourage (Office 2004 for Mac) connected to our Exchange server. The folders window on the left pane lists "Folders on My Computer" and below that the user name associated with their Exchange account where they normally receive their mail. This user belongs a mail group as well, until recently they have never received mail in the inbox of "Folders on My Computer" Now mail is being directed to both inboxes randomly and becoming quite a headache for this user. I have not been able to find any options to disable the "Folders on My Computer" inbox. Also, the Apple Store was not very helpful either. Any suggestions? Tag: Master Identity, why so many up?

 - Entourage 2008 - garbled emails in Sent Items folder when sent from When I send an email from my handheld pda (a BlackJack running Windows Mobile 5) the message is processed through our exchange server and when I view my Sent Items folder from within Outlook 2007 or Outlook Web Access (OWA) the message appears along with all messages I have sent directly from the desktop - there is no distinction between messages sent via PDA and those sent from the desktop. But, when I view my Sent Items folder from within Entourage 2008, the messages sent via PDA (A) do not have a subject, (B) are time stamped at the time I started Entourage 2008 rather than the time received by Exchange server, and (C) are completely garbled with all of the internet header information and all HTML code etc. I have seen a number of others discuss this problem with respect to Motorola Qs and Blackberry's in various forums and no one seems to have an answer. Is this simply another Entourage incompatibility? Is there an Exchange server issue I can ask our IT manager to look into (we use Exchange Server 2003)? I am trying to eliminate Parallels from my life but Entourage is making it quite difficult ;-) Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks Here are links to other people discussing the same problem. http://www.blackberryforums.com/mac-users-corner/96185-entourage-garbles-messages-sent-bb.html http://www.everythingq.com/forum/mac-and-motorola-q/entourage-and-exchange-q-sent-messages-sync-as-garbled-9217.html http://www.qusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?=&p=72244 Tag: Master Identity, why so many up?

 - Entourage 2004 Tasks I went to print a daily calendar, which includes a list of tasks at the right. However, among the tasks that appear, there are tasks which I have already deleted or completed. Why do they keep showing up there? I might add that these tasks are no longer listed in the main task list or are correctly listed as completed. So what is the daily calendar populating tasks from? It doesn't seem to be clearing itself and repopulating the task list. Yes I have rebooted the system and my computer to no avail. Tag: Master Identity, why so many up? Tag: 87797

 - Calendar week view This seems like it should be very basic, but I can't figure out how to do it. When I look at one of the week views, it always shows me all seven days (or five, if I'm viewing work week) of the current week - even if it's FRIDAY. Our campus just switched from MeetingMaker (and glad to be rid of it), but it had one advantage - if I wanted to look at the next several days, it would let me. In Entourage, if it's Friday, I can't look at today and the next several days in my calendar. I have to jump to next week, then I can't see today. Not very convenient for planning out my next several days. The "Next 7 Days" calendar view script that comes with it doesn't work right, because recurring events don't show up on the day they happen - they show up on the day I put them in, which could be months or even years ago. Any ideas? Maybe a feature request for updates? Tag: Master Identity, why so many up? Tag: 87786

 - lost Imap folders Hello, After a server rebuild I connected to exchange using IMAP and entourage 2004. Almost immediately all my IMAP folders disappeared and my mail was lost. Short of restoring my mailbox on the exchange server is there ANY way possible to extract my messages from my local entourage ( office ) database file. I poked around in the database file a bit and it appears lots of my messages are still there. How can I get them back? Are there any companies out there that specialize in this sort of recovery specific to entourage? Does anyone know what mechanism is used by entourage to remove the folders? I assume they are really still there in the database file but marked deleted somehow or perhaps my entire mailbox was replaced with a new one and what I really need to do is get back to the original mailbox. Any suggestions are appreciated. Tag: Master Identity, why so many up? Tag: 87764

 - Tip: setting font size for newsgroup messages coming from Mactopia If you are using the Entourage 2008 newsreader (haven't tested this in 04) you can set the font for HTML to actually change the font for messages that are coming from the Mactopia interface. For me, they are too small so this option is an eye saver. If there is no explicit font declaration code set in a messages, Entourage can override and use your default HTML code settings. Messages currently coming from Mactopia have no declared setting.

Sometimes you can accidentally open a new window by double-clicking on a
folder. It's really no big deal.
