 - Entourage 2008 address book synch I have upgraded to Office 2008. One of my mailboxes is on a hosted Exchange server, also synched to my BlackBerry. I imported the Entourage 2004 identity and everything synchs fine, except for address book contacts. First no contacts showed up in the folder, then I manually copied the previous identity contacts, and I got duplicate contacts in my Exchange account. Now the problem is that address book synch doesn't occur at all between Entourage 2008 and the Exchange server (and the Blackberry too, of course). If I add a contact in Entourage it shows up in the Exchange mailbox, but not the other way round. Today I added a contacts on the Blackberry and nothing showed in Entourage. Calendar and email synching work flawlessly (so far :-)). I verified the settings and all seems ok. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for the help. I really like the new software, and I wouldn't want to downgrade again. Best regards, Daniele Tag: Slow Performance Tag: 86273

 - Solution question (not a problem) Hi I was wondering if anyone else had a similar need to us with regard to Entourage on Mac - OS X 10.3, 10.4 and (possibly sometime in 2008) 10.5 - and BlackBerry Enterprise Server/MS Exchange 2003. Our BlackBerry phones are used by on the road account managers who share a FileMaker-based database of contacts when in the office. I am looking to enable the AMs to have access to these contacts when out of the office. Being that there are a lot of them I want to make it a searchable function. Having the contacts loaded into everyone's local Contacts is just not feasible for support or speed. Has anyone solved this one or have any suggestions? Regards Craig.

 - Entourage cannot send mail with one specific account I run my own mail server (OSX 10.5.1 Server, running Postfix), and Entourage will not send mail through it, saying, "Authentication failed because Entourage doesn't support any of the available authentication methods." It's a simple password authentication. These exact same settings work fine with Mail.app. Entourage first created the account by importing the Mail.app account, and when that didn't work, I deleted it and recreated it by hand in Entourage. Port 25 is unblocked. My .mac account will work, but my own IMAP account will not. Has anyone run into this problem? Tag: Slow Performance Tag: 86235

 - Entourage prints in large fonts / outlook users receive large fonts All users in my office (other than me -- the sole mac user) use outlook and html messages. I have to use Entourage primarily because the number of appointments I get and I am very happy with it overall. However, sometimes they get the super large font situation when I send emails to them. I changed my preferences so that my emails are always composed as Arial 10 which helps a lot, however, I have heard that if they try to cut and paste the emails they get the large font. Also they tell me that if they view the email on the web using OWA they also see the large font (although not necessarily in outlook). I have also encountered a problem that emails and airline receipts print out very large on printers and I have not been able to adjust that. The only thing I have found in newgroups as a solution to this is using plain text and although I understand the reason for saying that, its not very practical for me with the forced line wrap and types of emails I have to send. Also the typical response I have seen to the font issue is that it is a fault of HTML and not of Entourage, but in my experience, the same emails work fine in Apple mail, so I don't know if HTML can fully be to blame. Finally to my question -- Is it possible to adjust plain text so it wraps rather than start a new line and has anyone else encountered the large font printing problem and found a solution?

 - Calendar Dates Incorrect Hi All-- I recently upgraded to Mac Office 2008 on OSX Leopard (MacBook Pro 17" - First Edition). Everything went smoothly with the upgrade. However, I've noticed that the default dates for new events in my Calendar are incorrect. Creating a new event defaults to January 5th, 2008; if I click the calendar icon to change the date, the pop-up calendar shows January 1, 1970. Any date I select does not change the event date, which stays at January 5th. I'm connected to and Exchange Server, however, all dates on my machine and the server are correct. Also, Entourage 2004 worked fine. Anyone else having this problem or know of the solution? ~ropa Tag: Slow Performance Tag: 86194

 - Entourage 2008 and Palm Treo I just upgraded to Office 2008. I loved it until I realized that Microsoft had removed the Entourage conduits in Palm's HotSync software. Now, they claim that the only way to synchronize a Treo is through Apple's iSync. Yes, except that iSync doesn't work with the Treo (it does work with a few Palm devices, but only PDAs, not their smartphones). Apple recommends that you buy Missing Sync from Mark/Space. Nice, but Missing Sync works with Entourage 2004, not 2008. And it costs $40, by the way. I spent some time playing with all of that (I have not purchased Missing Sync yet), and the result is a total mess: the "work" addresses that are in my Address Book on my Mac are totally gone from the Treo but the "home" addresses appear as "work." Let's not talk about the Calendar data or the Notes... You get the picture --a big mess. Now you would think that in the year 2008, one could synchronize a Treo with a Mac using Entourage, as I was able to do in 2005. Apparently not... And if you search Palm's support Web site and enter Entourage 2008 in the search box, you get 0 article. So we are in a situation where Microsoft is basically saying: get a Windows Mobile phone. Then you go to Apple that says: get an iPhone. And Palm? Just playing dumb: We didn't see anything, didn't hear anything, and won't say anything. If you have any advice, let me know before I switch back to Office 2004. Tag: Slow Performance Tag: 86164

 - Mail Import from Apple Mail Hi there, I just imported most of my mail from Apple Mail. But not all of it. It imported all of the mail from my inbox but it did not import my sent mail or my trash. How do I get it to do this? Also, in Apple Mail, I have 2 accounts - a gmail account and a yahoo account. When I switch my identity from my gmail identity to my yahoo identity in Entourage, I tell it again to import my mail. I assumed it would import my corresponding yahoo mail from Apple Mail but it doesnt - it starts to import my gmail again. What the heck is up with that? How do I fix these issues? I LOVE my new MacBook but the Apple Mail program's word processing features do not even compare to those of Outlook so I am excited to get started using Entourage.

Microsoft "help" has tips to create new identities in Entourage, but when I try to open Entourage, I get "Entourage cannot access your data. To attempt to fix the problem, rebuild your database".

(entourage 2004 + leopard btw) Normally, when I get a new message, it displays on the INBOX of the exchange folder. Very rarely, it downloads the messages to the INBOX on my folders on my computer. I am often unaware of this (no notification), except that it is bolded. This happens very infrequently, but I do not know why it happens. The emails are coming from a mailing list, but again most of the emails from that person using the mailing list , goes to my exchange folder inbox and not local folder inbox, so im not sure its a factor. Any suggestions?? I'm often missing out on important emails because its diverted to my "folder on my computer" and I only check inbox on exchange.

I just upgraded to Office 2008 and I am experiencing slow performance in Entourage. 
If I'm in the mail window and click on the calendar view, it takes about a minute for it to open. 
And my processors are screaming at 75%. 
If I check off a task as complete, same thing. 
I have deleted the database daemon from the startup items and rebooted; deleted 2008 identity from spotlight, rebuilt the database, etc. 
Please advise.
