finished, all messages and folders that I had set categories on were reset.
Has any one else tried the rebuild tool?

messages blocked
I cannot send messages from Entourage, but it is not a problem of
smtp, etc. I installed it one week ago and have been receiving and
sending from my yahoo account without any problem. Suddenly yesterday,
I tried to send one message and it get stucked in the outbox. I tried
to delete it but told me that it was being sent. I finally get to
delete it but it seems that it has get blocked because I have tried
several times, and every time I try to send one, down the window, I
have a number which increases with every message tried.
Down the window, I have two messages:
on the left: yahoo: loging on to smtp.correo.yahoo.es
on the right: the number of messages already blocked (and deleted by
me), and the message "there are not pending schedules", partially hide
by the bar which gets filled when sending or receiving, which keeps
empty...
It seems like if i had to empty the outbox but it is already empty,
because I deleted all. I do not know much of computers, so I do not
understand what may be the problem.
thanks for your help

Greyed out in-box
I carried out the Mac OSX software upgrade last week and have since
encountered a problem with my in-box. I keep getting a greyed out
block covering the details of about half the messages. I can click on
it to reveal details of one email, but as soon as I try and reveal
another, I get an error mesage (4362) which won't go away and I have

Text attachment bug?
I'm using 10.1.4 and really struggling with a text file line endings
problem.
I understand that Mac and PC and have different line endings - and I can
open a text file attachment in another app and re-save to remove the
problem.
My problem is I don't want to open these files and 'work around' the
problem - these files are sent every day and I have various people I want to
upload them to a web server as part of a site data update - so I don't want
to hand edit each one each time - the idea is they are saved to disk and
uploaded to a fixed directory (and thats all that should happen).
Does anyone know how to stop Entourage doing this - or is it a bug that we
have to wait for a fix for?
Regards

auto open separate new mail windows?
well I still can't get entourage 2004 to work, so in the meantime I am
tinkering with the current X system...
...I have all my emails in separate mailboxes, one for each person/jobs etc.
all my mail is auto moved to its appropriate folder on receipt
I like the 'bolding' of headers to indicate new mail in a folder, and the
right-click capacity of the mail icon to show folders with new mail
but, when a new mail comes in, I would like its folder to open and come to
the front, separately in each instance, just like they did in eudora... I
can't seem to find a preference for this
does anyone know a rule or script that will automatically do this to all new
mail? Tag: What happened to my replies? Tag: 39340
Since upgrading the OS, Entourage has problems
I upgraded my OS from 10.2.8 to 10.3.4 and now have
problems with Entourage (Office.X "10.1.5"). It does not
crash, but might as well.
I will change from one mail folder to another (which
happens to be a whole other account) and then the program
will stop working (this is not account specific, it happens
between any account combination).
A partial word will display in the bottom of the
window (something like a status bar; it displays messages
as mail is being checked) and then I am unable to click
anything. When I move my mouse over any of the options in
the top left (address book, calender, etc) they take on a
"checkerboard" pattern and the picture is no longer visable.
I have to "Force Quit" the application because it will
not accept a "Quit" from the "File" menu. I am able to
re-start the program after the failure without a system
restart being required.
I have re-applied the 10.1.5 update for Office.X to no
avail.
Please advise, I really need to fix this. Thank you
in advance to everyone. Tag: What happened to my replies? Tag: 39338

Message shows in Outlook Client but not in Entourage 2004
We have multiple people in our office using the new entourage 2004
client. At the same time we commonly have a terminal services windows
opened to our terminal server, with Outlook running. Both Entourage
and Outlook are talking to an Exchange 2000 server. All of the users
in our office noticed the mail count and unread counts in the two apps
we always different. After further investigation, there were simply
some messages that would not appear in Entourage. These messages
could be new messages, old messages, etc. We have even moved the
messages on Outlook from the Inbox to another folder to see if it
would then it would show up. Still nothing. Now the only way to get
these random messages into Entourage is to actually setup an IMAP
connection the Exchange server, and then move them into the Inbox of
the Entourage Exchange configuration. Has anyone else seen this odd
behavior..?

Office 2004: How flag outgoing message?
In Office X's Entourage 10.1.4, the "flag" icon appeared in the toolbar and
allowed one to add a flag to an outgoing message.
In Office 2004's Entourage 11.0.0, the flag is grayed out when sending
messages. I'm using OS 10.3.4.
1. Is there a way to flag outgoing messages?
2. Does a flag appear with the message when it's received, or only show in
"sent" mail (when it works)?

An unknown error (4362) occurred
Entourage, error when sending mail
(Dual 1.25 GHz Power PC G4 Mac running Mac OS 10.2.8
Entourage:mac v.X 10.1.4 Service Release 1)
Mail could not be sent using the account "XXX @ XXX."
An unknown error (4362) occurred
web search says that:
CAUSE
This problem may occur if an Entourage X database or a user
identity is damaged.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, rebuild the Entourage X database
files.
I tried this, it didn't make a difference in my case.
The problem seem to appear when an email has been saved to
the "Drafts" folder and then attempted to send after that.
The fix is:
. cut the text out of the email
. delete the email
. start an entirely new email
. paste the text into the new email
. attach any required files to the new email
. send
this has happened twice and the solution above worked both
times Tag: What happened to my replies? Tag: 39317

Project Center Crashes Under Load
Hello Everybody,
We've recently been conducting a test deployment of Office 2004 in a Mac
only workgroup at my place of employment.
We had really hoped that Entourage 2004 would have full Exchange Server
support for shared calendars, contacts, etc (please take note Mac BU). After
recovering from the shock and disappointment we began playing with the
Project Center.
Project center worked well initially using a shared project on an iDisk
(.Mac) but everything fell apart when we loaded it up. We put about 4000
contacts in the project and an average workgroup calendar. Now the computers
won't sync. If you change a contact in one the change won't propagate to the
other (only 2 computers are using this project right now - both are
reasonably fast dual G4s). Entourage just says its syncing the project
forever. We've let it run for hours, entourage becomes unresponsive and
needs to be force-quit.
Any ideas here? It seems like this shouldn't be to big but perhaps I'm
wrong; any information or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Entourage New Mail (or other item) Window Location (Position)
In Entourage 2004, when I create new mail message (or new calendar event or
new task or new newsgroup post) the window for the new item is always
positioned in the upper left corner of the display. I then have to drag it
to a new, more easily managed location. It seems that most of the other Mac
apps that I work with remember the last position of a window and return to
that spot. I am new to Mac and to Entourage (and new to this forum.) Maybe
I am missing something? I searched on Google and found a couple of folks
asking the same question but no real replies. Even if Entourage does not
remember the window position, is there someway to set it so that it opens
some place other than the upper left corner, in other words, in the middle
of the screen?
Thanks for any help.

Can't send mail
I have just upgraded to Office 2004 from Office V.X and now I'm unable to
send mail. There is no problem, however, with receiving mail.
I have an iMac G4, running OS X, Version 10.3.4, and am using DSL service
through AT&T.
Entourage Version 11.0.0 is configured exactly as the older version of
Entourage had been, overriding the default SMTP port to 465. Reverting to
the default port fails to eliminate the problem.
It is obvious from reading the AT&T Mac newsgroups that many others are
experiencing this same problem. I'm wondering if others on this newsgroup
have encountered the same problem and, if so, were able to correct it. Is
this an issue that Microsoft is working on?
The older version of Entourage still works fine, so I am using it for my
mail.
Any help would be appreciated.

Category that automatically flags incoming mail as junk
I have this odd thing that's bugged me for a long time. I'm using
Entourage 2001 on OS 9.2.2. One of the categories I have defined in my
address book is "Dogs." (I have a dog, do paintings of dogs, and have a
lot of dog-related friends.)
I do not have Junk mail filtering on at all.
Whenever I get a message from one of my friends that is part of the
Dogs category, Entourage displays a note that "This message appears to
be junk mail." If I click on the "This is not junk mail" link next to
it, it removes the Dog categorization from that message.
Why on earth would Entourage be sensitive to any category label that
I've defined for people that it recognizes are in my address book. Dogs
is the only category where this happens. I assume if I did turn junk
mail filtering on that they'd get filtered?
thanks,
Kevin

Cannot use Entourage 2004 sync tool after installing Agendus for Palm.
I recently downloaded a trial version of Agendus 8 for my Palm Tungsten T1.
After installing I found the Entourage 2004 sync tool no longer would work.
The sync log shows that it fails to recognise that it is installed and no
attempt to reinstall or tweek with the settings help.
In dispair, I blanked the Tungsten and user and tried to sync again. It
worked.
Installed Agendus. It doesn't work.
Have done this many many times and Agendus seems certainly the problem
here but Iambic say it's not their problem as Agendus doesn't interfer
with the syncing process and simply displays data that has been
transfered by whatever.
Can anyone help. I like the look of Agendus, but couldn't commit myself to
it if I cannot sync the data from Entourage 2004 onto the Palm and back
again while it's installed.

recently migrated to a mac for graphic processsing capabilities from
the world of PC, I need to find a solution to my email problem. The
identities solution in Entourage seems to differ radically from that
of the PC based MS Outlook.
I need to configure Entourage on my G4 Powerbook so that when opening
either of the two idenities the same email information, (received,
sent etc.), and address book is displayed. As happened when I used my
old Sony Vaio Notebook running XP Pro and Outlook 2003. The reason for
selecting two identities as a setup is explained below - is this the
correct solution?
I was used to opening my PC Outlook in two different identities
running two sets of accounts; Home and Office, so that I could from
home pick up personal email direct from my ISP, and work email via a
VPN to the office, or whilst at the office, my work email from a
network PC that acts as a mail server, (running a third party mail
server program), and personal email from the ISP. It was configured
like this with different accounts with different send and receive parameters so
that I got around the problem of 'receive failures' popping up on
screen. For example whilst at the office if the VPN account was used
it could not go out through the hub and back in again to the mail
server PC, or at home if the office email server network address was
used it would not find it as it would need to go through the VPN
first. With the PC all email appeared to end up in the same pst file
and thus on was displayed no matter which identity I opened Outlook
under.
Am I barking up the wrong tree, or do I need to employ a dedicated
server at the office running Microsoft Exchange and get rid of Pop
accounts and thus pick up email directly from this server from all
locations. since we are quite a small company it seems to be a bit of
a sledgehammer to crack a nut solution in terms of cost, however there
will no doubt be other benifits.
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Tag: What happened to my replies? Tag: 39209
Projects come, projects go
I'm a general contractor, and I live and die by projects.
The new Project Center in Entourage is demonstrating the potential to
change my life for the better, so I'm very interested in making it do
everything for me that it is capable of.
I had, in fact, already established something very similar by hand,
(all documents, spreadsheets, contracts in Word, sales presentations in
one folder, email routed to separate folders by rules, tasks sorted by
project, etc.) which is quite time consuming to maintain.
So far, this is the first issue I may have a problem with: projects end.
All projects end, but customers continue to exist.
Many of my customers are repeat customers, and when they send me email
past the end of a project, I want the email to go somewhere besides the
project in the project center. That is, I want the project to continue
to exist as an archive of what was said and done, including a record of
the contacts, but I want the new business to go to a new project.
Furthermore, one customer will (hopefully) be associated with several
different projects, and I want email from that customer to go to the
correct project, (the current project) and not get sprayed across all
past projects. However, I would also like to associate that customer
with past projects, so I can keep a list of who was associated with
which project.
Are there ways to accomplish all this, or can one contact only be
associated with one project at a time?
