 - Message from Entourage Fail, but arrive via Outlook 2003 Hi. I have a small business server running Exchange 2003. I use Entourage and Outlook 2003. My domain is a Custom DynamicDNS domain (melkonian.net). One of my clients can not receive email when sent via Entourage. I can send this client an email from Outlook 2003 without issue, but if I send an email from Entourage the customer never gets the message. I am not sure if this is an issue with Entourage mail formatting, a setting in Exchange, or something on the customers end (which I have no idea what that item might be). Here is what I have done to test. 1. Sent email from Entourage to customers primary account and Yahoo account. Mail arrived at Yahoo account only. No NDR was reported back to me. 2. Sent email from Outlook 2003 to customers primary account and Yahoo account. Mail arrived at both accounts. Any help or suggestions would be great. Thanks.

 - Stupid Question re: Email Archival I've used Entourage 2004 for some time & overall, am most pleased with the product. Today, I had occassion to look for an older "sent" Email to retrieve some info. At this point, I've discovered that all of the Email that's in either my "Sent" or other special folders has no content older than one-month back from today's date. Obviously some scripting which must be a part of Entourage is either archiving or purging these older mail items. I'm hoping they're archived, not purged. My installation of Entourage is "out of the box"; i.e., there has been no custom tailoring of the product. Can anyone shed any light on this issue. If the Email's being archived, where, & how do I retrieve some of those items? Thx in advance! Tag: When will the isync update be out Tag: 61897

 - Beachball after Sleep Since I updated to the latest Entourage 11.2.1 and to Tiger 10.4.3 (at about the same time, so I don't know which made the difference), Entourage is almost always unresponsive for several minutes after my PowerBook wakes up from sleep. It takes so long to wake up that at first I kept using Force Quit; then one time I left it running for five minutes and suddenly it came back to life. I have seen mention of this before on this list, but cannot recall seeing any solutions. At the moment my work-around is to try to remember to quit out of Entourage before putting my Mac to sleep. It may be relevant that I have an Exchange server account that can only be reached if a VPN is active. Most of the time the VPN is turned off. Whenever I quit Entourage with the VPN turned off I get a warning that a network operation is in progress, though I don't have that account in my automatic send and receive list. -- ... Al Quirt ...

 - Forwarding HTML messages Can anybody please explain to me why Entourage is the ONLY email client for the Macintosh that can NOT forward complex HTML messages properly?! This has got to be the #1 most annoying thing about Entourage that will FINALLY push our entire office over the edge to use Apple's Mail instead. We desperately need a way for forward complex HTML messages to other users, without them becoming an unreadable blob of code. Just as a quick example, this morning we received an HTML-based holiday card that we needed to forward to other people... can't do it within Entourage. You lose the entire formatting of the message. Last week, we emailed a NetFlix Gift Certificate to ourselves that we wanted to forward on to somebody else... same thing, can't forward it on. Why is it almost the year 2006 and Microsoft is not addressing this issue? Thanks. Tag: When will the isync update be out Tag: 61890

 - How to Archive old mail and get ready for 2006 There may be other ways to archive your old mail files but the following is what I do toward then end of each year to get ready for the new year.. 1. I already have a mail folder called "Archived Mail' with sub folders for previous years. The first step is to created a new sub folder called "Mail 2005" 2. Used the standard Entourage tip to drag my current "Inbox" and "Sent Items" to the desktop. This created two mbox format files. It tales a few minutes so please do not rush. 3. Now drag the two new mbox files into the newly created "Mail 2005" folder. I then changed the filenames to Inbox-05 and Sent Items-05. 4. Check that these files are good copies of your current Inbox and Sent Items in the new Mail 2005 folder are correct. Check that they look like your current Inbox and Sent Items. If not correct, repeat steps 2 and 3 until you get it right. 5. Once you are satisfied (step 4), open your primary mbox and use the "Select All" and Delete Key to create fresh file that will contain your 2006 mail. Do the same thing with your Sent Items file. 6. After you finish the above I recommend rebuilding the database by starting Entourage with the Option key held down. The cool thing about this procedure and the reason I use it is I have almost instant access to old mail files. I just went in and stripped the attachments from the 2004 files. I have folders for my old Eudora mail and separate folders for 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005 Entourage mail. Each year is a mouse click away in Entourage. I have probably made this sound too complicated. It is not! Just saved and stored the old mail. Merry Christmas Tag: When will the isync update be out Tag: 61886

 - Address book contacts dont match E-mail !!! Hi, I am a new Mac Entourage user (OS X) and have a bizarre problem that I just dont know how has happened! My contact/address book contains around 150 contacts, but the E-mail addresses for these contacts has become 'mixed up' - ie the E-mail addresses are all still present, but it looks like the E-mails have randomly associated themselves with different contacts If I double click a contact, it also shows the wrong E-mail address.... I have a PDA which I use to sync (and the PDA does have a correct version) - could it have become corrupted somehow due to the sync process?? I have also tried a 'resync' but the Mac still shows the wrong info.. If there is no way to fix, do you think I should delete all the contacts and then re-download from PDA? Lastly, if I want to BACKUP my E-mail (ie all folders/E-mails under the main tree) can I simply drag/drop onto a Windows 2000 Server?? Many thanks, and sorry for the dump questions!

 - Graphics when transferring to a PC Hi there I Have: PowerPoint:mac 2004 11.2 iMac G5 OS X 10.4.3 I like using Powerpoint but have two problems - I'll send a separate post for each one. Graphics I usually have to transfer my presentations to a borrowed PC laptop to show them - I also have (PC) colleagues who sometimes want copies of my presentations. Trouble is some of my graphics don't show on a PC - I get a QuickTime logo instead. All my PC PowerPoint presentations are okay on the Mac. I don't know too much about QuickTime - I don't do anything in particular that I know of to use it for anything - but if there is a way to make sure that Graphics I use show properly on a PC I'd like to know about it. An example is a graphic I've copied from a web page. (I use Safari 2.0.2) Any suggestions? -- Don Edmonds 7 Rankin Street Kaikohe New Zealand 64-9-4053030 64-27-2568290 Tag: When will the isync update be out Tag: 61870

 - Progress Window (Corrected posting!) Sorry everyone - my previous posting on this subject "escaped" before I had checked it properly. Here it is again with corrections. I have: Entourage 11.2.1 iMac G5 OS X 10.4.3 When I hit the send and receive button I would prefer that the "Progress" window automatically appeared - but I haven't found a way to set it to do that (it did on Outlook Express on my old iMac) - is there a way? Also (and more important than the issue above) - sometimes the progress window has a bit of extra information Sending: To: Completed: Receiving: From: Completed: But note that I said sometimes. Sometimes it does not have the extra information. Whether on not it has this extra information seems to be quite random (but by Murphy's law it's never there when I really want it!). I haven't found a way to turn this on or off. As I still use a dialup I find the information useful e.g. It will tell me the name of a very large file that is taking a long time to send or receive which can help me to decide whether to abort the process because the phone line is required and do my send or receive later. How can I make the Progress window ALWAYS display the extra information?

 - Anyone using the "Postponed" scripts? I've been using Bryan Harris's Postponed/Delayed Send scripts for years (http://scriptbuilders.net/files/postponedelayedsend1.95.html). They're an important part of my GTD strategy and Entourage 2004. However, over the past month, the second script (the one that brings the postponed emails back into the InBox) has stopped working. I've tried downloading them again, and checking the parameters (Postponed folder, both scripts in the Scripts folder, etc), and the Postponed script does work. But the emails never work their way back to the Inbox. Anyone else using this script successfully? Tag: When will the isync update be out Tag: 61866

 - File locations Hi All, I'm new to groups... Because of a major motherboard and disc failure, I'm migrating from OS X Panter using Entourage X to Entourage 2004 on OS X Tiger on a new machine. Fortunately, I've backed up my Microsoft User Data "Main Identity" folder fairly recently. I used the wizzard to "import" the Main Identity data into Entourage 2004. My folder structure imports fine (i.e., the names of folders that I created in Entourage X), but all of the folders are empty. There are no old e-mail messages to be found. My database file in Main Identity is fairly large (2 gigs) so I believe the old messages must be there...somewhere. Does anybody have any suggestions for how/where to find them and bring them into my Entourage 2004 on my new computer. As I type this, I'm wondering if the probelm is in going from Entourage X to 2004?? Thanks, Roy Tag: When will the isync update be out Tag: 61865

 - iPhoto to Entourage: Why can't I see the photos? There are two strange things here. Unlike Apple's MAIL, when I send photos from iPhoto to Entourage to email someone, you cannot see the photos while actually composing the email. Isn't there some way to remedy this? It's very annoying to not see the photos you are trying to tell someone about! MAIL does it well, in fact, you can type in comments between each photo, making very specific comments. Isn't this possible in Entourage? (And if not, what a goof!) To get around the above problem, I will sometimes save the email (with photos already attached) as a draft. Then I can open it again and see the pictures. BUT I still can't type from this photo-visible stage, and if I double-click in order to edit, invariably, every other photo chnages into an unable-to-display icon (the small white box with the red X in it)! So half my photos get zapped and don't send correctly. HELP, PLEASE! -Codito Tag: When will the isync update be out Tag: 61859

 - Rules just don't work Firstly, for some reason my Junk Mail filter is becoming rapidly less and less effective, and only catching a smaller and smaller proportion of incoming spam. This includes messages with a vast range of obvious words in the subject referring to sex, prescription drugs, stock investments etc etc. Words like (apologies in advance if anyone considers some of these words offensive) sex, penis, viagra, cialis, and many others which are definitely too rude to send to an open forum. So I thought that I'd try and fix the problem myself by setting up my own additional Junk Mail Filter rule. The problem is that despite creating a rule that looks for a big range of words in the subject, set to trigger "if any criteria are met" and then mark the messages as Junk and move them to the Junk folder, the message still come straight through to the Inbox. Why is this? I've looked and looked and I can't see any reason why this rule shouldn't work properly. To make sure that another rule isn't in some way "masking" this rule I've moved it to the top of the list, and I can't see anything else I can do to make it work.

 - Enhanced dock functionality I think we can all agree that Entourage is a MUCH better email client than Apple's Mail application. However, there is ONE nice thing about Mail that Entourage does not have: Mail has "enhanced dock functionality" in 4 important ways that Entourage does not. #1. Clicking-and-holding on the dock icon for Mail gives you the opportunity to "Get New Mail". This is PERFECT for people like myself who prefer to check their email manually (instead of setting their email program to check mail on a schedule). The beauty of being able to check email from the dock icon means that you don't have to LEAVE the current application that you're working in just to check to see if new email has arrived. If new email HASN'T arrived, then you're still working in your current app. #2. Clicking-and-holding on the dock icon for Mail also gives you the opportunity to "Compose New Message". This is FANTASTIC! Again, you don't need to bring all of your Mail windows to the foreground just to compose a new message. The new message window floats above whatever application you're currently working in. This would be GREAT for Entourage to embrace this as well. #3. The dock icon for Mail shows the NUMBER of new messages that have been received. This is a really nice extra touch that I would love to see Entourage add to their dock icon! Actually, it would be really nice for Entourage to leapfrog Mail in these regards by providing even more functionality, like DockStar does: http://www.ecamm.com/mac/dockstar/ #4. Dragging-and-dropping any file to the Mail icon ALWAYS creates a BRAND NEW email with that file as the attachment. However, in Entourage, it seems to attach the icon to the FRONTMOST WINDOW in Entourage. If the frontmost window is not an outgoing message, THEN it creates a brand new email message. Is this the desired behavior for everyone? I have found this to be confusing for me. I actually prefer Mail's behavior, although I can see how the Entourage behavior could be desirable in some cases. Perhaps this could be a preference in Entourage? It would be really nice to see Microsoft embrace the dock more with Entourage. Thanks, Scott Tag: When will the isync update be out Tag: 61808

 - Public Folder emails reverting to Not Read Entourage 11.2.1 Exchange Server, with the latest and greatest service pack (We were hoping this would fix our problem) Users can read or mark as read emails sent to Public Folder "FolderA". A few minutes goes by, sometimes I watch 3 or more "synch" schedules go by, sometimes on the first one: The number of Unread Messages (bold, in parenthesis, next to FolderA) climbs, until all messages are Not Read. Anyone else see this? Any explanation for this new feature? Thanks for your help! Tag: When will the isync update be out Tag: 61803

 - Junk filter suddenly not working? This is odd. Since 2 days ago, a bunch (20 or 30) very blatant spam emails have gotten through to my Inbox in my Entourage 2004 (v11.2.1). When I say blatant, I mean text emails that have the classics like Cialis, Viagra, etc. I haven't added any new accounts in months, and my Junk mail filter has always been set to High. Normally, this simply catches 90% quite well. Now it's been more like 40%. Any ideas? Tag: When will the isync update be out Tag: 61802

 - Exchange Sharing Trouble I'm trying to help a client set up a small office on Entourage (SP2) with Exchange (hosted by their ISP). It seems to connect fine, mail functions work, etc. OWA access seems to work fine via the web. When connecting to the Exchange Server from an Outlook client, I'm able to access shared folders. However, trying the same thing from Entourage (selecting File->Open Other User's Folder... and selecting the user and folder type) results in the following error: The user's folder could not be found. Entourage could not find a mailbox for the user (user's name). Any thoughts about where the problem might be? And, regarding delegation, it seems that we can't set it up via Entourage, as the Exchange Server requires an SSL connection. I see the message that "Entourage cannot use a secure connection to set delegation options." Since our Exchange server can't be connected to without SSL, the delegation fails. I assume this means we'll have to set up the delegation using Outlook first. Anything I'm missing here regarding delegation? Thanks, Jeff Tag: When will the isync update be out Tag: 61800

 - Entourage and Exchange2003 Hi All I have a Tiger clients with the latest Entourage on it, all patched up. I also have a Exchange 2003 server SP2 all patched up. I have integrated into AD via directory services, which seems to work well. However I just cannot set Entourage up as an Excahnge client. It just does not connect!! If I set it up as an IMAP client it all seems fine. However I cannot seem to access the global address book at all as a IMAP client. Can you tell me how, or is there a way I can import it. (I tried this about a month or two ago, and it all worked then as an Exchange client without problem. SO I am a tad upset that I cannot get it to work now. The IMAP seems OK tho'....)

 - http error (-18599) in Entourage I am one of two Mac users with limited technical support within our company. Neither of us are able to send email suddenly using Entourage 2004 version 11.2.1 (051004) on 10.4.3. Important background info: our company's Outlook Exchange server was rebooted on Friday afternoon due to a problem with using Exchange WebAccess online. This has not been fixed yet; no one can access their email using WebAccess, but they all (PC users) can receive and send email in the office using Outlook. But since the server was rebooted, the Mac users cannot receive or send email. I receive the following error: HTTP error: Access to the resource has not been authorized. Mail could not be sent. The message has been moved to your Drafts folder. Error -18599. I have tried to use Outlook Express with Virtual PC, and can receive email, but cannot send email. We tried to install Outlook on the Virtual PC, using the correct Exchange server settings, but it doesn't work at all. Going a little crazy here with no email!

 - Some calendar printing questions I would like to change some of the parameters when printing an Entourage calendar in the List format. Can I do the following? - Hide the mini-calendars? - Display the note associated with the event? - Hide days that have no events? Using Entourage 2004. V. 11.2.1. OS 10.4.3 Thanks!

 - Sync Palm OS 5 w/Entourage 2004 I have a Palm T|X and Entourage 2004. I use Missing Sync, not Palm Desktop to access the conduit. I have the latest SP for Entourage installed and use the option for new Palm devices. Sync'ing the Palm and Mac requires two iterations of sync when adding or changing data on my Palm. The first sync MOVES the appointment to Entourage. The second sync then propogates the change from Entourage back to the Palm device. I am only opting to sync calendar events within 4 months previous of the date and all appointments into the future. Is there a work around for this? Tag: When will the isync update be out Tag: 61774

 - Sync Entourage between iMac and Powerbook Hello. I use Entourage 2004 primarily on my G5 iMac. When I need to go away on business or holiday, I take my Powerbook with me. What I would like to know, is there an easy way to get all my Entourage data sync'd between my iMac and Powerbook. For example, an iSync Script or similar? At the moment, I just link the 2 up with a Firewire cable, press T on the iMac and then transfer the Microsoft User Data folder across to the Powerbook - and vice versa. This can take up to 10 minutes I know I could use IMAP - but I choose not to as I like to be in control of my messages and where they are stored.

 - keeps showing old database info after it is replaced? I transfer the database file everyday between my work and home computers. For some reason, only on my home computer (at least what I have noticed), when I delete the old database and copy the new one into the folder, and open Entourage it displays the old version. This is after I deleted the old database. I have to logout or reboot for it to recognize the new database. Why does this happen? It does not seem to happen on my work computer. Using Tiger and Entourage 2004. Thanks! Tag: When will the isync update be out Tag: 61770

 - Messages don't open unless I'm using Entourage vrsion11.1.0.and OSX 10.3.9 It's been working OK until this afternoon. When I click on a message, It doesn't open. If I double click it will open up completely but I don't usually want this. I did read this morning about holding down the command, shift and o to have only unread messages show. That's nice but not if it is causing this new problem. Mary Tag: When will the isync update be out Tag: 61767

 - Stuck deleted messages I have 3 messages in my Deleted Items Folder that are causing Entourage to crash when I either click on them and hit the delete key, or when I quit I have a schedule that deletes items in the Deleted Items folder, or if I try to view them. I've turned off the Preview Pane so viewing won't cause a crash. I've also rebuilt the database twice. Running a database verification causes it to crash. Sometimes the daemon crashes when I am doing nothing. Using Entourge 11.2.1 and OS X 10.4.3 Any ideas? Is there someway to manipulate the user database file with another program?

Normally, announcements are only made shortly before releases by Microsoft.
This date is not shared with anyone AFAIK.
