    - Sync - Deletes all contacts, adds all contacts | goes over and over again and does not stop Hi, I enabled the sync in the latest Entourage. I said "Replace Entourage contacts". Entourage deletes all contacts, this is good. Then Entourage gets all contacts from the address book. This is good. A few seconds later, it removes all contacts again. Then it adds all contacts again. This goes on for hours ... what is happening here? Anyone got a clue? Thank you, Jan Fuellemann | fuellemann@gmx.de Tag: Recover deleted messages Tag: 68577

    - One email crashes Entourage This is odd. Today I received an email from a source I've received from before, but every time I click on it to view, Entourage quits and says there's a problem. After about the fourth time, I'm trying to delete it but it keeps on crashing the app before I can hit delete. Is there another way to get rid of the offending email?

    - Set a Default Character Set for Compose Is there any way I can change the "Compose" default character set from "Automatic" it Unicode (UTF-8)? I know that in "Preferences" I can do this for reading unlabeled messages, but I can't figure out how to force "Compose" to default to UTF-8 whenever I want to compose a new message. I know I can manually set it for each message in the formatting menu, but that's a hassle. Thanks in advance. Tag: Recover deleted messages Tag: 68559

    - View preferences revert Every time I do an update or rebuild the mail database in Entourage, all my view preferences revert to the default (I don't have a few of the columns showing, and turn off "show in groups" for every folder). This is very annoying since I have to reset my prefs for each and every folder. Is there a way to set these preferences globally, instead of folder by folder? Thanks.

    - Messages from my IMAP in box automatically delete and move to "Folders on my computer" The subject pretty much describes the problem: I receive a message and it arrives and then is instantaneously deleted and moved to the inbox on the "Folders on my computer".

    - Mounting the office PC server (SBS 2003) on a new iMac We've installed the Services For Macintosh (SFM) from the Mactopia site. I remember this doing the trick when it came down to mounting the PC drivers on the Mac. For some reason it's not giving us a proper Windows branded log-in prompt. (It's more OSX - SMB/CIFS File System Authentication). We can connect to Exchange and mail/contacts/calendars pour in. Still, there must be some setting turned off on SBS 2003 Exchange. There are proxies on that we've dealt with when we surf on the Mac and who knows what else. It just feels like something on the Exchange server needs to be activated. Any ideas?

    - Reply using the Default Account when it should not!? Hi All, First query in this forum. I have an account in an IMAP server which receives emails for a number of different email addresses. I have set up a single account in Entourage which retrieves the messages in this single account from the IMAP server (and it does so happily), however; when replying to those messages, I do not seem to be able to get Entourage to reply to the address under which it was received. I have read the posts in the forum that ask similar questions but i would like to know i) why Entourage (2004 with 11.2.5) does not do what it is supposed to do when I leave the "Reply using the default account" Unchecked ii) how can I get it to work ? iii) is the only answer the magic script(+schedule) by Barry Wainwright?

    - Associating emails with a Project in Entourage 2004 When setting up a project, you can certainly set the rules for emails and contacts. However, there doesn't seem to be a way to associate previous email messages with an existing Project. Searching for emails within the Project "Mail" tab doesn't produce any results. Also, attempting to ADD a contact is a chore, since there no "Search" feature enabled when your contact list is displayed. You have to scroll through your entire list.

    - inviting attendees from Entourage 2004 to Outlook 2003 the latest? Hi There's lots posted here and on the great MVP site (you guys do a great job). But I'd be grateful for an update/summary on my specific problem since the sheer volume of traffic this and related stuff makes it hard to figure out if I've understood. Specific problem: I invite an Outlook 2003 user (not on Exchange) to an Event. The event shows up in their calandar and they have buttons to accept, decline etc. They accept and a message comes back to me Accepted: event name. But it doesn't update the event in Entourage to say it's accepted. The other way round it works: ie They send me an event I accept and they are updated. I've made sure that my contact details in their (the Outlook user) is configured so they don't send me RTF. I've also fiddled about with their setting turning UUencod on and off. So, what have I missed. Does it work or is it one of those incompatabilities that continues to irritate? Thanks in advance. D Tag: Recover deleted messages Tag: 68511

    - HELP with weird Suitcase Message in Entourage Hello all. I would have to say that my office PM G5 has been "plagued" with fonts problem recently... and the bottomline is, it seems that all my fonts are corrupted?? Lately when I launch Entourage and click on a new email to read, a little window pop up will say: (! in a dialog bubble icon) Suitcase >From Suitcase (TM) There was a conflict when attempting to activate the font 'Bookmam Old Style' in the suitcase Bookman Old Style for this document. Please close the document and resolve the conflict in the Suitcase application OK Button I click OK and can still continue to read the email, but seems like every new email will have a similar message, with different font in the pop up. A check in Suitcase and the Bookman font in question is not activated, at least by Suitcase, but it shows it is active, with a User icon besides... so I "suspect" it is either activated by Font Book (which I have loads of problems previously) or it is already in the systems. This series of font-related problems occur only recently, so I don't know what might have cause all these... I have not update the latest MS Office Updater yet... should I? The problem is not major, but very inconvenient and "annoying"... I have a more major font-related problem when trying to open a Word or Excel docu: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=547731 Thanks and cheers Tag: Recover deleted messages Tag: 68509

    - Can't Get Entourage to Display Text Formatting Correctly I've recently launched a website - part of it's functionality is to send out emails to registered users. The emails are comprised of postings created on the website which incorporate html formatting created with QWeb Editor - mostly pretty basic formatting such as bold, justification, text color, and hyperlinks. It turns out that emails received in every other email scenario we've tested (outlook on PCs, to hotmail, yahoo, gmail, and webmail on the Mac all display the text formatting correctly, except for Entourage, which displays the text as plain text, with no formatting whatsoever. Entourage gives the error message at the top of the email: "The message may not be displayed properly because it contains an unknown character set." Emails received from other sources all seem to show formatting correctly. Can anyone tell me how we have to configure the outgoing emails so they can be properly displayed in Entourage, as well as in hotmail, yahoo, gmail, etc., and on PCs as well? Does Entourage have some special requirement that we need to incorporate into our email engine? I'll paste the source from the test email below, if that is of help: Status: U Return-Path: <jeffgund@infolist.com> Received: from www.infolist.com ([204.16.197.250]) by samuel.mail.atl.earthlink.net (EarthLink SMTP Server) with ESMTP id 1g345t5953Nl3pv0 for <jeffgmusic@mindspring.com>; Wed, 19 Jul 2006 00:55:08 -0400 (EDT) Received: from mail.infolist.com (www.infolist.com [127.0.0.1]) by www.infolist.com (8.13.6/8.13.4) with ESMTP id k6J580Rn017242 for <jeffgmusic@mindspring.com>; Tue, 18 Jul 2006 22:08:02 -0700 Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2006 22:08:01 -0700 To: Jeff Gund <jeffgmusic@mindspring.com> From: Info List <jeffgund@infolist.com> Subject: INFO LIST: test Message-ID: <345f6447db7a8381bdf73a264a7957c8@mail.infolist.com> X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: PHPMailer [version 1.73] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="b1_345f6447db7a8381bdf73a264a7957c8" X-ELNK-Info: spv=0; X-ELNK-AV: 0 X-ELNK-Info: sbv=0; sbrc=.0; sbf=00; sbw=000; --b1_345f6447db7a8381bdf73a264a7957c8 Content-Type: text/plain; charset = "ISO-8559-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This is a test of the Email Formatting system.

    - Size matters! ;) Font disparity in Entourage 2004 (... in the year 2006) Feel my pain. At long last, I bought into the hip new Apple commercials and took the plunge from Windows PC with Outlook 2000 to a new 20" iMac with Office for Mac (and Entourage instead of Outlook). These two programs, as I understood it, were supposed to be roughly the same software and therefore make my transition seemless and workable and most importantly (according to the Apple commercials)... *compatible*. [skit] "Hi, I'm Apple. Hi, I'm PC." "Apple: 'I work well with others.'" Oh yeah? The problem I am having is that when I was a Windows Outlook 2000 user, I always used 10-point font in HTML (so I could format text and insert images) with Outlook emails. (fyi - I used to compose my emails in Word which Entourage for some reason does not provide as an option) Now, if I compose an email in 10-point font using Entourage, the text is awkwardly difficult to read (for me while composing) because it is so small on the iMac display. I have seen "work arounds" posted about changing my default font to a higher point size, like 14-point or 16-point, but then what situation does that create for the receipient? Yes, it appears better to me visually but it also has a real effect on the font size for the recipient, right? This is my experience at least. I don't want to satisfy myself only to learn that my contacts are getting emails with gigantic fonts. I also do not want to need to readjust my emails every time (...so tedious). I think most of the world probably uses 10-point or 12-point as "standard" font size for letters, etc. . Does anybody have a solution? If not, then at least an explanation? Thanks, Jeromy PS - the Entourage 2004 preview window seems to have other "small font" issues and generally the text accompanying the buttons (reply, send/receive, etc) is inherently small and not able to be adjusted via preferences. I am also not willing to use the user accessibility "zoom" since it is awkward. I am in my twenties and have good eyesight, so it is not a vision thing. Why can't we all just come up with a universal standard for text fonts and attachments? Tag: Recover deleted messages Tag: 68501

No matter waht we do, we get the error message as follows: "The User's folder could not be found.

    - very strange loss of mouse while using entourage Hello, this happens to me very rarely but when it does, I invariably lose part of an email, so I have to at least write and see if any else has it happen? It's happened on both my old g4 powerbook as well as on my new mbpro (i moved my user/settings/etc all over so ...) I *think* it has happened only while at working using (don't laugh) an MS natural kbd and an ms intellimouse through an iogear kvm. other machine on the kvm is a PC, zero problems ever so i dont *really* suspect the kvm but you never know. Also, I just installed the latest office 2004 patch today and it did happen afterwards. It's happened ever since i've used office 2004. So. While using Entourage (and it's ONLY happened while using Entourage), and drafting an email, i'll click the mouse (maybe i'm doing some odd click combo accidentally but i dont think so), and the system suddenly seems to think the left mouse button is permanently clicked. When i move the mouse up and down it highlights the text in the email. Mouse clicking doesnt work, but i do have a pointer. Only way I can start to save the machine is to ssh in from elsewhere and kill -TERM the entourage process. But the mouse is still hosed. So today I started just apple-tabbing through each open app and killing them one by one to see who/what was keeping this "hosed-ness" going. Killed Safari, Opera, no luck. Killed Adium, iTunes, no luck. got to Parallels and had to force quit (couldnt click on the suspend/power off buttons).. and my mouse came back to life. (for the record i had unplugged mouse/kvm/etc, plugged mouse in directly, all that stuff). Yet on my old powerbook, without parallels, this would also happen to me - and just going through killing random open apps would bring me back to usable. After i kill the offending apps everything is fine. I've pasted system.log entries during the time it happened and after... I don't see any obvious offenders but i'm happy to be wrong ! Also - this time it happened not long after coming out of sleep mode (you'll see it in the logs) but most of the time that's not the case ..

    - Only patrial export of inbox in E v. X I have posted several items about this problem client, but the short is he has a 3.8GB DB in Entourage v. X I deleted about 4000 emails, leaving him only with the last 3 months worth of email in his inbox. I then tried a rebuild on the database and it never completes - returns the same error as the attempts before deleting the 4000 emails: The database could not be rebuilt because there is not enough room on the disk to create the new database files. And there is plenty of room on the hard disk. So I exported (drag and drop all his folders to .mbox files), created him a new Identity and imported all the .mbox files and everything worked great, except the inbox.mbox. Even though there are 3 months worth of emails in the old identity for the export, only a handful of emails (20 or so) make it into the new Identity. It seems to be a problem with the drag and drop, creating the inbox.mbox (for it consistently is only 18.1MB). For now he is switching back and forth between Identities to access his old email, but does anyone have any tips on how to actually export the entire (3 months) inbox to the new Identity?

    - Different timezone issue Ok, after applying 11.2.5 update, the timezone on the calendar items is still messed up. In my case, my Entourage timezone is set to EDT and I am currently on the west coast (PDT). When I create a new calendar event, I get a warning banner saying that "Your computers timezone: West Central Africa" which is not correct. The event appears on the calendar correctly, and I believe that the reminders arrive correctly. But I find it astonishing that MS cannot get this right. ET Tag: Recover deleted messages Tag: 68465

One email recipient wrote me and said the "iso-8859-1 character set is not superset to windows-1252. Single left-pointing angle quotation mark (0x8B) is not supported by ISO-8859-1.

    - POP/smtp problems? In need of a more informed opinion than my own... Out of nowhere yesterday Entourage stopped sending mail. I am receiving mail correctly, but anything I try to send just hangs out in my Out box. When I try to close Entourage, it asked me if I am sure I want to close since there is 'a network operation in progress.' I am assuming this means that Entourage is sending the mail, its just not going anywhere. I would assume this is a problem with our provider, but mine is the only account having issues, and I am the only one using Entourage. I have deleted my account and set it up again three times and nothing. All the ports are correct and the settings are where they should be. Anyone have any idea what else I can try? Thanks!

    - Script to copy contacts from public folder? Hi all, I'm trying (and struggling) to develop a script to handle a particular Entourage/Exchange task (Entourage 2004 11.2.5, Exchange 2003): copying contacts from a public folder address book to an Exchange "personal" address book. I noticed some postings on a similar topic from a couple of months ago and I was wondering if anyone had made progress on accessing non-favorite public folders (or alternatively, favoritizing public folders) via a script. My AppleScript mojo is weak. :-( We're trying to get around the problem of a lack of LDAP access for our remote users by creating a public folder full of corporate contacts -- a super GAL. Works fine as a Favorite public folder, EXCEPT for those pesky Blackberry/Treo/WinMobile users who want to have the corporate contacts available and don't want to do lookups for them; it's also easier to populate with extra info (cell numbers, etc.) than the GAL is. It would also be nice (but not mandatory) to be able to use things like EntourageABMenu against these addresses, which would require copying them somewhere else. Ideally this script would be run on a weekly schedule, or triggered by the user as needed. Here's what we're trying to script [wish listy items in brackets]: 1. Select all the contacts in the placeholder Exchange address book "Corp_Local" [or alternatively all the contacts with a "Corp_Local" category -- Treo and WinMo5 devices only sync up "Contacts" folder so they may need to go in there] and delete them or move to an archive AB -- clear out the results of last sync. 2. [are we online? if not, fail or display "retry later" dialog] Display the "Corp_Public" public folder address book. Wait 1 minute to sync up. [If the address book is a favorite, the wait is unnecessary] 3. Select all the contact records in the "Corp_Public" address book and copy them to "Corp_Local." [Assign them all a category of "Corp_Local," could use the Custom 8 field script or similar.] Some of the issues I've seen in *extremely* preliminary poking at the script -- a) The IDs of public folder address books change from user to user. This would not be such a big deal if I could hunt them down by name, but; b) for public folder address books that are NOT favorites, I don't seem to be able to look up the ID by name. I can check the ID if the book is selected ("get the displayed feature of front window") but then 'get the id of address book "Corp_Public"' fails. This is not really that surprising, but still annoying. Likewise I can't display or select public folder address books by their URLs. ------ If anyone has suggestions, alternate approaches, consulting offers or help, it would be much appreciated. thanks, --Mike miketrose at gmail dot com P.S. If the GAL search functionality exposed by the "do OWA GAL search" AppleScript command really does work via HTTP and not LDAP... why the heck isn't there an interface for it in Entourage? It would really make this a lot easier. :-) Tag: Recover deleted messages Tag: 68452

The email will start off with the first line of typed text instead of the usual memo stlye format. To make matters worse it seems to only happen with certain people, and then not all the time.

You may be able to open the Database (~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office
2004 Identities/<Your Identity>/Database) in a text editor and search for
the message. Copy the entire message (headers included) into a new plain
text document, and save it as a .eml file. You can then drag it into
Entourage to import it. That won't always work though, especially if you've
added a lot of new data since you deleted the message(s).

(replace "Office 2004 Identities" with a different version if you don't have
Entourage 2004)

if you're on exchange server there is a way to 'recover deleted
messages' but the feature needs to be manually activated on whatever
folder you are rescuing (it may be on by defult for the deleted items
folder). note that this feature does not have to be active before you
delete the messages accidentally as long as your exchange server
provides support for this (ours does).
