Subject: Equivalent to Organization tab in Outlook
Message-ID: <128080878100508607663838465932529950782-Webmail2@me.com>

Hi all,

Two features I used extensively in Outlook are:

1. the ability to double-click on an email recipient name, and then see the contact info for that recipient in a dialog box
2. In that same dialog box there is a tab labeled "Organization" that shows the recipient's manager, as well as their direct reports.

In Entourage I can't find the same functionality (for either 1 or 2). Is there any way to achieve the same thing? Perhaps with a 3rd party product? 

Thanks,

Luc

Sorry, just to clarify further:

Re point 1 below, - I am able to get dialog box to come up upon double-clicking a recipient, but all fields other than email address are unpopulated. In Outlook when I did this I would see phone numbers, etc.

Re point 2 below, - That's unchanged, the "organization" tab doesn't show up.

I do have access to the GAL, for instance I can look up employees by last name from our company directory without any problems using the Entourage Address Book, selecting the Exchange account, and typing into the "Name starts with" field.

Any idea what might be the problem here?

Regards,
Luc

Command-Option-C opens the contact when you are in a message window. You can
easily add a contact this way if you don't already have them in your Address
Book.

I've never used Outlook so not sure what that is. Maybe one of the other
list members can help. Can you describe what a direct report is?

Outlook will open up their contact info from the GAL. The behavior is
different in Entourage.

These are fields in the Exchange GAL that show (if populated) who you work
for and who works for you. It's fully recursive - you can follow the chain
by double clicking each contact.

Again this works fine in Entourage if you're browsing the GAL, but not when
addressing a message.

Install the Flip4mac QuickTime codecs for WMV.
That's by far the best option (and it's free).

Lendon, you need the Windows Media player, or even better, get Flip4Mac and

Subject: All emails and addresses lost!
Message-ID: <C4EAD505.F%judit@bigpond.net.au>

I recently had a problem with my hard drive and had it replaced. I
reinstalled office 2004. I didn't lose much data.  After that I kept getting
error messages when I opened Entourage (2004) saying my database needed to
be rebuilt, but it would then open without me rebuilding it.

Today it wouldn't open. So I rebuilt my database but when Entourage then
opened I had NO email addresses or contacts. I checked my identities. I have
about five (because every time rebuild it creates another one) but the one I
am  using now is called  MAIN INDENTITY BACKUP 8 -22 -2008.


I had had to reset it up but what I really want is all my email addresses
and contacts and emails back.

I looked on other sites and they said my database must be in the wrong spot,
but I think it is in the right spot, although I have a number of data bases
(because of so much rebuilding).

I also have entourage x and even if I could get some emails of this
application it would be good but it says it can't find the identities even
though I can find them when I look through the hard drive.

I have spent hours and hours and hours on this so any help would be great.

See if you can open any of them. You can use the Switch identity  
command in Entourage to do so. If you manage to open one, export the  
contacts to an archive that you will be able to re-import in the  
newest (and hopefully not corrupted) identity,

Unless the database corruption is severe, Entourage will open without
rebuilding. The more corrupt it gets the harder it is to successfully
rebuild. Your best option, as long as you can open Entourage is to manually
move your data into a new Identity.

That's correct. Rebuilding makes a backup. However, not all backups are good
copies. I always advise making a copy first in the Finder. I have seen a
backup go completely bad during the rebuild leaving you with nothing. It's
rare, but it does happen.

Under File in the Menu bar select Export. You can export as Entourage
archive (.rge) selecting contacts or everything and as a tab delimited file.
Do both. Tab delimited files are extremely small and can be opened in any
text editor or Excel. The Entourage archive (.rge) can only be read by
Entourage but are extremely small also and easy for importing into a new
Identity.

Entourage won't see them if they are in the wrong place.

Entourage 2004 cannot access Entourage X Identities until they are upgraded
for Entourage 2004.
 
Hope this helps!

Thanks Dianne,
But how can I export information if there is none actually in Entourage? I
was able to import some addresses from another identity, but what is the
point of me now exporting them? Maybe I don't quite understand what I should
do. Can you clarify?

I'm wondering too is their any other place my identities might be. I  have
found some, but no recent ones.

Try going back to the first backup Identity and see if they are there.
Obviously, if there are none in the Identity you have nothing to backup.

You would need to search. Did you rename them to something other than "main
Identity?" Try searching for "main Identity."

Do you use Time Machine?

Message-ID: <981490.7390.qm@web36805.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Greetings All,

Forgive me if this has been reported before. The problem is in overwriting files. An example of the use case is where someone will send me a file, and I save it to disk. Later, an amended version of the file is sent, and I try to save it over the old filename.

This use to work, but now reports an error and suggests rebuilding the database and trying again. I have, but it still produces an error.

Mind you, after the problem I encountered with saving attachments of any kind in the past, now mostly fixed, I'm not going to complain too loudly, but it still is a bit annoying.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, any work-arounds, other than the obvious of deleting the file first?

Regards,
- Steve

I've looked everywhere.  If I had highlighted and deleted the draft I think
it might show up in the deleted items folder.  I was starting to work within
the document when I hit the delete/backspace key and the entire draft email
went away.

I did some tests and my draft ended up in the Deleted Items folder  every
time except once. When I selected the message and hit the "delete" key not
the backspace key, a window popped asking if I wanted to permanently delete.
Have you turned off the pref for notification?

Preferences --> Notification ?  Require confirmation when deleting.

I know I'm always forgetting to actually open a draft message to edit it. If
you select delete when you have the message selected and it's not open in
edit mode, delete will delete the message.

This is a Finder issue. The Finder sees the file as two separate files with
the same name.

Let's be sure the file is not being saved in the Entourage
"save attachments" folder. This might be causing the rebuild error. I have
seen cases where the user received the rebuild error and this was fixed by
simply moving the Microsoft User Data folder to the desktop. Let Entourage
create a new one, then move the individual folders back to the new Microsoft
User Data folder.

You could use Save As and name it with the date to differentiate between the
versions.

Thanks, Diane.  Yes, notifications requiring confirmation is selected but
even when I select the draft and hit delete I don't get the confirmation
request.  If the email hasn't been named or saved it also will not show up
in the deleted items folder.

It seems that you're right -- I can edit if I actually open the draft in the
draft folder.  The problem is in trying to edit the preview pane without
actually opening the file.  The only function I'm able to do in preview pane
is hit delete and the whole thing just goes away entirely.  Also, I don't
seem to have a backspace key in addition to a delete key like you have,
maybe because I'm on a powerbook.  Only delete and, of course, the left
arrow which just moves the cursor.

Does the above make sense?  Thanks for testing for me.

Makes perfect sense. Technically, it's not a draft until it's saved. The
behavior is of draft messages is not intuitive. You would expect to be able
to edit it if selected. They should put a banner at the top reminding users
to open to edit. Send feedback so your problem gets on the list to be
improved.

While browsing through my Saturday morning RSS reads I saw that
Lifehacker.com was asking its readers to vote for "Best Calendar
Application?" in its "High Five Call for Contenders" series. Since our blog
is about all things Microsoft Entourage I started scrolling through the
comments to read the votes.

As of this morning, three days after voting began, I saw 418 votes. Total
number of votes for Entourage? One.

The folks at MacBU should be saying, "Ouch!"

Part 4 in the series AppleScripting Entourage: "Create a TinyURL-no more
broken links" describes how to use an AppleScript to automate the process of
creating a TinyURL as well as an alternative to running AppleScripts in
Entourage with TypeIt4Me and TextExpander.

If you're not familiar with a TinyURL, it's an online service that converts
long URLs into short ones more appropriate to share in email. It's
especially helpful sending out long links.Long links that are notorious for
breaking. A TinyURL will not break in email postings and never expires.

Hi there at the Entourage Mailinglist,


Until now i'm searching "desperately" for a forward rule which causes to
prompt/ask if forward or not an e-mail if a specific mail address doesn't
show in the CC-field.

Any hint, script or 3rd-party tool will be heartly appreciated :-)

It's possible to create a rule to do this for *all* messages that meet your
criteria but to offer you the option of whether or not to forward would
require an AppleScript. Shouldn't be difficult to write.

Would the forward address always be the same or are you simply looking to
open the message and have it ready to be forwarded?

Eehm... i should be able to agree, but actually i don't have either the
knowledge nor time enough to play around with that, so i really appreciate
any help!
>

Yes, exactly - always the same address. Reason is that my superiors don't
trust that much in eternal reliability/accessibility/compatibility of
electronic e-mail backups ;-) So every e-mail received has to be forwarded
to a specific address to be later printed out for traditional paperful
storage... uuuhh!

But checking every e-mail manually if... then... is annoying and time
consuming, on the other hand i don't want my (few, but private) private
e-mails to be forwarded automatically.

Thanks again and in advance for your help!

How about this instead, which would be easier to implement:

Instead of prompting you to forward you could simply assign a category
called something like "Forward?". That way you don't have a dialog that
could get in the way and you can use a Custom View to show you all messages
with that category?

In that same rule you can add a criterion "Display dialog", which will alert
you that you've received messages you need to check. Altogether it would
look like:

    Rule name: Forward this?

    If
    Any CC: Recipient Does not Contain someone at company.invalid

    Then
    Set category "Forward?"
    Display dialog "Check your Forward Custom View for messages
        that may need forwarding."

Hope this helps!

Hi Bill,
 

Thank you so much!

This is quite another approach which i didn't think of, not completely
automatic but definitely useful and acceptable.

In Germany we call this "um die Ecke denken" - thinking outside the box ;-)

Anyway, thanks again!

RoadRunner offers webmail. Got to <http://www.roadrunner.com> and click on
the "Web Mail" link in the upper right corner. Check your account online and
see if the message was received there.

You won?t get any response from the Crash reporter. It is used by MS  
to diagnose issues and eventually correct them in future versions, but  
it is in no way for them a mean of communication with customers.

Try pressing the alt key as you launch the application to be offered  
the opportunity to repair your Entourage Identity. I suspect it is  
corrupted,

In addition to Corentin's response I see that the User-Agent header for your
messages is showing 11.2.3. The latest version of Entourage 2004 is 11.5.1.
Use the Help --> Check for Updates command to update your version of Office.
Updating may correct the problem you're seeing too.

What I suspect is happening is that these messages are malformed or corrupt
and giving Entourage problems. Most often these are spam messages or very
complex HTML messages from sites sending you newsletters. You will probably
never be able to read these in Entourage.

Turn off the Preview pane using View --> Preview Pane. This will prevent
them from displaying when you select them. You can them either delete them
or drag them to your Desktop and try opening them in Apple Mail or another
E-mail program. Either way, get them out of Entourage.

Hope this helps!

Subject: [ANN] The Entourage Help Blog: "Enjoy some stupid Moose tricks for
	Entourage!"
Message-ID: <C4FCF745.1557C%mecklists@comcast.net>

If you don't know about the Talking Moose then you're missing Macintosh
history.

In 1989, I purchased my very first piece of Macintosh software, which came
on an 800k floppy disk in the back of a book called Stupid Mac Tricks by Dr.
bob Levitus. It was a collection of fun applications that did nothing
productive except make your Mac more enjoyable. (I think that's productive,
don't you?)

On that floppy disk was a program called the Talking Moose. For me, that
book and that program defined my appreciation for the Mac. They taught me
that a computer can interject some fun into the middle of work, adding a new
dimension to "the computer" that I didn't know existed. The Moose is over 20
years old today and is still alive on Mac OS X. A few years ago when I
rediscovered the Moose I also wrote a couple of AppleScripts that allowed me
to use it with Entourage.

Here's to frivolous computing!

I don't know much about Mail. Sorry!

You can delete a message in Entourage and go to the Deleted Items folder. If
you select nuke the message, it does not go to the trash, but is erased from
the Entourage database. I'm not 100% sure it's nuked entirely, but I do know
that trying to recover anything that has been nuked or deleted from the
Deleted Items folder is next to impossible.

>From Entourage 2008 Help:

<quote>
 When you delete items in Entourage, the items are moved to a Deleted Items
folder. Items in this folder continue to take up space on your computer's
hard disk, and ? if your account is set to leave copies of the messages on
the mail server ? in your account mailbox. To free up some disk and mailbox
space, you can empty the Deleted Items folder.

Starting in Entourage 2008, if you delete items from the Junk Mail folder,
it will nuke them.

I have a list to send an invitationto that is 240 people. My provider will

 Get this script, Split Recipients X. This script  will replicate messages
into the number of copies needed to comply with an ISP's maximum number of
recipients allowed per outgoing message.

Simply drag it to the Entourage Script Menu Items folder. Be sure to unstuff
first.

If you don't understand using AppleScripts in Entourage start with part 1.

Greetings All,

Does anyone know of a way to delegate a task, similar to the way that MS Outlook works?

What's the closest we can get using Entourage? This would be a really useful feature.

Regards,

Hi Steve!

As you're aware, Entourage doesn't handle Tasks but I believe workarounds
for many things are usually possible.

To start the dialog rolling, what is most important to you about the whole
task delegation process that Outlook performs?

Is it the ability to send a task and have someone accept it, putting it on
his task list?

Is it the ability to mark tasks as partially completed or update the status?

Is it the ability to report those updates to the sender of the task?

Is it the ability to do all this interactively with Outlook *and* Entourage
clients or just between Entourage clients?

Something else?

Not everything is possible but with reasonable expectations folks may be
able to develop ideas.

Hi William,

Good points. Thanks for narrowing down the scope of the problem.

While having all of the features mentioned would be ideal, the most important one is the ability to send/receive tasks from Outlook & Entourage users. With that functionality, the rest could be managed.

Cheers,
    - Steve

Hello

I have a macbook pro with leopard 10.5.2 with enourage 12.0 installed. I have a hotmail account (free for seven years now) and I know by reading on your website that I can't dowload my hotmail emails to entourage. Yet I was able to download 1400 emails out of 2200 approxiamtely and I was also able to send mail. During the download, it stopped giving me a 18497 error. I have also read on your website that if I have been using hotmail for a while, it might work. Can anyone help? Any tips?

Pierre.

You can preview messages with Notification. Open preferences and select
"Notification" from the General Preferences list, then select "Display an
alert on my desktop" and tick the "Display Message Subject and Preview"
radio button.

Hope this helps.
