I have a G4 and recently gone over to OSX and upgraded all my software. When I send an email using entourage everytime I attach a file and send it the recipient does not receieve the file whether its a pdf, jpg, eps or stuffed files. All they get is a load of coding.
View 2 RepliesI've seen lots of threads go by about importing e-mail from one program to another, and my case is seemingly simpler, but I have had no luck so far.
I want to import into Entourage the e-mail from a backup of the disk. I know how to import mail into Entourage from other e-mail programs and I know how to import mail into Entourage from an archive created by exporting from Entourage, but I cannot figure out how to import from a backup of the folders under the "/Users/(username)/Documents/Microsoft User Data" folder, under which is where Entourage stores mail.
When I send a photo as an attachment in Windows, it appears on the other end as an attachment, not as an actual image in the preview window. Is there a way to make Mac Mail function similarly? I can't seem to find it.

But in the same mail, if there's one bigger file, powerpoint/zip etc, no matter how many times I tried to save it, view it, download it, I just have no way to do it. I am using Mac OS x.

Some before my text, some in between my signature, some right below etc. Its all over. Its there a way to let Mail auto display in a more organized manner before I press the send button?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm using Mail with a gmail IMAP account. Recently a friend sent me an email with an Excel workbook attached, but the attachment didn't show up in Mail (no attachment in the message, no paperclip icon indicating an attachment in the Inbox). The really strange part is that if I go into my gmail account using a browser, the attachment is there. I received several other similar attachments from other people, and all those attachments showed up in Mail.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm happily using my new 24" iMac, but I've run across a little problem this evening. I was trying to send a 225mb file as a mail attachment through my Gmail account using Mail. When I go to send the file, Mail crashes and disappears. This happened a couple times, so I logged directly into Gmail and sent the file through the web browser. Now the system is hung up 'sending' in the Gmail browser, and Finder has become very sluggish (slow response to clicks, errors printing, etc). Can the iMac and/or Mail handle sending files of this size?
View 6 Replies View RelatedJust purchased new 17" MBP and am wondering what e-mail program you all prefer??? We are coming off many years with Outlook.
I set up Mail and it seems "OK" but I then discovered that Office 2008 has Entourage (I thought it was only in the Business version) and I am contemplating moving to Entourage before I invesnt more time in Mail.
We have two e-mail addresses and two different homes that we use our laptop at...with different ISPs...thus need a couple of different configurations.
From past reading I have heard not too positive comments on both Mail and Entourage...what are the issues with each
I have the Student ed of Mac Office 2008. The only thing I can't do with Entourage is Exchange right? Every time I try to send an attachments. It lets me pick the file(s), no problem here. Then I tell it to send it. Once the mail has been sent, the attachments don't open on the original or the sent copy. If I try to open it though Entourage I get "Entourage Error Unknown". If I save the file and try to open it that way. It will launch the right app to open the file correctly. But the App will tell me this file is corrupted or incomplete. Now it's not allowing my to save the attachments. I get some "Entourage Error Unknown". I get this on both sides with the original post and with the sent file.
View 2 Replies View RelatedOn my powermac G4 I have my contacts in Entourage. There are like a total of 1200 and I really don't need all of them on my new iBook so I've limited it to 200 of close contacts and saved them as vcf. Then I emailed myself the vcf file and try opening it on my new iBook which happily imports them into Address Book instead of Entourage (it also seemed to lose alot of the details, like categories).
I look for option in Entourage to import a VCF and it doesn't seem to have it. How do I import a VCF into Entourage? Or how can I these select contacts onto my laptop installation of Entourage?
I'm a switcher so sorry if this is a dumb Q (and yes I searched first) but Entourage keeps getting the same emails from my POP account. I have it set to leave messages on the server for a few days (3 I think) before deleting b/c my Blackberry pings the account for emails and if I leave for a weekend I want the BB to find the emails.
But whether I sort the emails into folders, delete them from Entourage, or leave them in the inbox, Entourage retrieves them - again. And I then have to delete them all.
ALso somewhat strangely, it doesn't retrieve them every time it checks the POP account (which it does every minute), only every once in a while.
I'm running Entourage 2004 on OS X 10.3.9 (iMac G3, for at least a few more weeks). I've never had problems with Entourage until we had a brief power-out the other day. Since I restarted, Entourage won't open. It says the database is corrupted, and I need to rebuild it. But I can't rebuild it -- the Entourage Database runs into an error almost as soon as it starts, and says it has an I/O error with a bad block. However, Apple's Disk Utility and Hardware Test both say everything's fine.
Anyone have any clues what to do next? Is it believable that Microsoft would find a bad block that Apple can't?
I've been trying to figure out how to set up the Entourage Mail app to auto-reply emails sent to my account. I'm going on vacation in like, a day, and want the app to automatically send a "out-of-office" reply. Anyone know how to do this?

I am having trouble converting my Mac (not PC) Outlook Express messages to Entourage (eventually I would like to move them to Mac Mail as well). On my old iMac I ran System 8.6 and Outlook Express. The messages on my old iMac were mostly saved as a single file named "Messages" in my "Main Identity" folder - this is how Outlook Express seemed to save the messages. I now have a PowerMac G5 running 10.5.6 and running Mac Mail as well as Entourage. I need to have a look at my old backed-up messages for business purposes, but I am unable to do so. I have given away my old iMac and so now I am stuck with System X and Entourage/Mac Mail.
I have downloaded the PST Import Tool but it does not seem to recognise my Mac Outlook Express files. I tried to open the files with Entourage; my old Outlook Express "Messages file" is recognised (or labelled) as an "Entourage database" but it does not open. I did have some individual messages saved that I was able to simply copy and paste as messages on to Entourage. But 99% of the old messages are stored in this single, large "Messages" file. And it is this file which I need to convert/import and am unable to do so. How do I convert this mac file into something that Entourage or MS Mail is able to understands seems to be the key question. All of this is very disconcerting to me - I have been a Mac person all my life and given that I am not changing computer platforms, I did not expect to encounter such problems. And there are some important e-mails I really do need to retrieve.
I am fairly new to the wonder that is Entourage.
Can anyone tell me how to set up my auto sig so that it only appears once in an email trail or alternatively only in new messages?
At work we use Entourage with exchange access to our work email. My coworker would like to be able to back up all his emails in entourage, and transplant them to his home PC which is using Outlook, and have them be all in his inbox and whatnot...what do I have to do?

View 2 Replies View Relatedwell I'm about to start using either Mail or Entourage for my yahoo and Gmail accounts. I know that for Yahoo you need to pay $19.99/year or so to get it work on Mail/Entourage so I guess I got no choice but to do so. This will be my first time ever using a mail app because for years I've used the website-based e-mail only, so I'm still not so familiar with these apps. I've tried both Mail and Entourage and so far I like Entourage better. It just looks neater and seems to have more options than Mail (I might be wrong). Are there any downsides of Entourage I should be aware of? Is it possible to import all the birthday etc. alerts that I have on Yahoo mail calendar to Entourage calendar? Also, is it possible for Entourage to notify you when you receive an e-mail the way Mail does? Another thing: I heard that next year Outlook for Mac will be available with the release of Office 2010. Anybody know when MS plans to release it? Should I wait till then and just get Outlook instead or is the release date still quite remote?

I'm about to "migrate" from Gmail webmail to Entourage for the first time. At times I like to use Gmail's smileys for fun when sending an e-mail to a specific person, so I was wondering if there's a way to integrate Gmail's smileys into Entourage? Or somehow be able to access them through Entourage?
View 6 Replies View RelatedFor example when I search by the sender's name in Finder, it will list emails that contain the sender's name. But when I want to look for those emails in Ｕser/Library/Caches/Metadata/Microsoft.... or wherever all I get is a bunch of numbered emails like "1.vRge08Message" and up to whatever number of emails I got in Entourage.
Why doesn't it display emails by the sender's name like it did when I searched for them in Finder?
I just wanted to know if it is possible to add inboxes in MS Entourage? At the moment I have 2 accounts in 1 inbox, and I don't like the mess. I would like 1 inbox pro account.

I try to send & receive my mail on entourage, I am able to receive all of the messages, but I get an error message that says "Entourage cannot connect to the server. Verify that your computer is connected to the network."I know I am connected because I am searching the internet on Safari and Firefox and I am about to receive messages and I can log onto yahoo chat.I am assuming it has something to do with my preferences, but it was working before and I haven't changed any of my preferences. My email provider is yahoo.I was told to switch my SMTP (out-going mail) port from 25 to 567.
