Inbox for Exchange account no longer updates in Entourage 2008
I upgraded to Entourage 2008 a week ago, and everything was initially
working well with my corporate Exchange account. However, since
yesterday the Inbox has not updated while messages to other folders
are received successfully. Outlook on Windows and OWA both show
messages being received to the Inbox and any other folders.
I have tried restarting the system in hopes that some process had
simply died. I would prefer not to create a new Identity as that is a
bit of a nuclear option, and I don't want to do that each week if this
is going to happen frequently. Is there a way to diagnose and fix the
issue?
Thanks,

Entourage 2008 IMAP Does not Show new email
I have upgraded to the complete new suite, and Entourage does not work properly with IMAP email. All my other accounts work fine, but entrourage does not show new email. The email can be viewed via webmail and outlook (PC via IMAP) but Entourage lags by 1-2 days in showing new email.<br>
<br>
I have rebuilt my database (Thinking that maybe the upgrade had a problem) - and even deleting the IMAP account and re-adding it. Still, only email to a certain day/time shows up. Tag: error 5.7.8 bad user name with Entourage Tag: 87882
"On My Computer" - can I get rid of this?
Why can't I get rid of this On My Computer sidebar group? This seems to be a
POP3 notion, and I use IMAP and Exchange only. I'd like to not have these
folders cluttering the sidebar.

Outlook-like Invite email as 'Optional' or 'Resource'?
From Outlook, when you create a meeting request, you can add email as 'optional' or 'resource' (in the case of meeting rooms).<br>

Sorting of Projects in Project Center
I love the Project Center in Entourage - I think it is just a unique and awesome UI for an app like this.<br>
<br>
There is one tweak which I actually think would be pretty simple and really helpful for me. That is the ability to sort the projects in the Project Center View in a couple of key ways.<br>
<br>
It is already sorted alphabetically, it would be great to have the options to sort by:<br>
1. Color - I use labels for the status of projects and it would be good to lump all the projects that need attention together and so on.<br>
2. Due Date - As difference projects are due at different times it would be helpful to be able them organized by the ones that are due the soonest or the opposite.<br>
3. Sub Projects / Dividers: This may be harder to implement but it would be helpful to be able to visually organize the projects into sub folders like a) West Coast Clients b) East Coast Clients c) Events d) Conferences, etc. This top level doesn't have to be a project or anything more than a divider that can create these sub divisions to help visually organize the projects going on.<br>
<br>
I think these are some visual tweaks that would just continue to make the Project Center one of the most helpful interfaces in organizing information and work.<br>
<br>
Of course, the best would be if some sorting function already existed and I've just missed it, so let me know! Tag: error 5.7.8 bad user name with Entourage Tag: 87858
After Sending, Move To Tool...
Entourage 2004 had an option via a tool icon to move a message to a folder after you send it. I do not see that tool available in the customize tool kit but only in the top menu.<br>

Issue syncing between Entourage and Exchange
I use Entourage 2008 hooked up to my corporate Exchange server. It has been working great until recently I have had some synchronization issues where I have deleted/moved messages in Entourage but they do not get deleted/moved on the Exchange server. For example, I have a SmartPhone where changes made in Entourage are reflected on the phone. That is, once again, until recently. I loaded a parallels session and ran outlook and it matches the phone and not Entourage.<br>

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: error 5.7.8 bad user name with Entourage 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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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).<br>
<br>
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: error 5.7.8 bad user name with Entourage Tag: 87845

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.<br>
<br>
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: error 5.7.8 bad user name with Entourage 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,

Office 2004 for MAC/Using Exchange server
Hi,<br>
<br>
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.<br>

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

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?

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.<br>
<br>
Not very convenient for planning out my next several days.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

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: error 5.7.8 bad user name with Entourage 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.
To set preferences:
In the menu bar under Entourage select Preferences --> Fonts
