Entourage (2004) mailing list rule

I have a POP mail account which I've made leave messages on the server, but I've been getting a lot of spam lately and would like to set a mailing list rule to have the spam deleted from the server automatically instead of having to click on each mail and then click on "remove from server". Conveniently all the spam is automatically being labeled with {Spam?} in the subject line. This makes it easy to apply the If..., but I can't find an action to perform that will remove the mail from the server and I'm pretty certain Delete will only remove it from my computer. Any ideas? Thanks

  • HELP !!! Entourage 2004 wiped my emails!

    Hi- Got one of those "Microsoft Update" auto messages on my laptop wanting update my Entourage 2004 app. I declined. Then when I launched all my emails, mail accounts, were gone? I looked for; MainIdentity.rge and found only one copy in my "User" folder.
    I never ran the "update", I declined it? Now what - everything is missing. Curse you Microsoft.

    Now here is a fun fact, there is NO MainIdentity.rge file.
    The .rge extension is an Entourage File Archive of the Entourage database created with by a user selecting Export from the File menu. It can contain mail messages, tasks, contacts, notes, calendar events, and project files etc. If you did not make an archive, then you will not find one.
    There is a folder "mainidentity" - user/documents/micrcsoftuserdata/office2004identities/mainidentity
    That is the correct path to your Entourage Database. Since the contents of that folder is missing, take a look at the following:
    http://www.entourage.mvps.org/troubleshoot/crashes.html#crash15
    Within item 15. Identity has disappeared from hard drive, be sure to also click the link User Experiences about finding the database in an invisible folder "lost & found"
    If that does not work, then copy the contents from a backup into the Main Identity folder. There should be four files: Database, Mailing Lists, Rules, and Signatures.

  • Problems Migrating from Entourage 2004 to All-Mac Apps (Mail, Address Bk)

    Greetings All,
    Background: After careful consideration, I've moved from a Treo 650 and Entourage 2004 scenario to the new iPhone and all-Mac Apps platform.
    It hasn't gone easily: lots of missing, critical data (below).
    I don't understand why thousands of business people aren't posting about this: my data is invaluable, and compromised by chunks of it missing.
    I have now spent about 15 hours researching this, and posted in several Google Groups. It's rather tedious, and I have lots of friendly people answering rather than people with answers. I like friendly people, but seriously, I'd rather have a hostile person who knows how to do this at this point.
    I have read in several places of the scripts of a Paul Berkowitz called "Export-Import Entourage 1310," but the documentation provided doesn't make clear these issues are addressed.
    I have written (five times) Mark/Space regarding their Missing Sync for the iPhone, but they have reading-comprehension issues, and I'm still not clear if they can get the notes from either my old Treo 650 via it into my iPhone.
    Here is what is missing:
    a) Can Paul's scripts (or anyone's!) re-export/merge Contacts such
    that categorized/grouped are preserved? This is of great importance.
    b) Will it export Entourage's notes, and will they be
    correctly titled, and in a useful place on the iPhone? (I have about
    400 notes), again categorized?
    c) Any way to export my Entourage filters/rules to Apple's Mail?
    d) Any way to export the large *mailing lists* (groups) I had in
    Entourage to Apple's Mail?
    Thank you in advance for your informed answers, and I must say that this has been as annoying as Apple thinking we can't figure that when AT&T raised the rates, the savings on the new phone was wiped out.
    Think Better, Apple. If you're trying to get us to use your platform, document how to make the switch.
    Thanks,

    Hey Kevin, sorry for the deafening silence. I can trade you two possible solutions for your secret elegant solution, how about that?
    It turns out I have done the exact same thing you've done: I'm going from Entourage 2004/Treo 680 to Apple apps/Toodledo/iPhone. (Getting rid of Entourage altogether has more to do with the difficulty of using Entourage for my small business on the Mac than the iPhone switch.)
    So, there are 2 Applescripts available that deal with moving contact groups and categories to the Mac Address Book.
    The first is a script from Paul Berkowitz called Sync-Entourage Address Book. This script was developed before Microsoft turned on Sync Services within Entourage, and was intended to fill that gap. It purportedly can copy over contacts, categories and groups from Entourage to Address Book. It has special features for handling both categories and groups simultaneously. The latest version available is from Feb. 2006, and purports to work with Panther and Tiger, but there's no info on whether it works with Leopard. Also, there's no telling whether it will work simultaneously with Apple sync services. (I would guess not.) Berkowitz is not answering emails or responding in Microsoft forums anymore; according to one of the other Entourage MVPs, he is too busy with his day job, so this is apparently all the information there is. If you want to take a chance, the script is here:
    http://homepage.mac.com/WebObjects/FileSharing.woa/69/wo/1XKAw6Pv2qUMw3xZ.1/0.2. 1.2.26.31.97.9.35.0.1.1.1?user=berkowit28&fpath=Sync%20Entourage-Address%20Book& templatefn=FileSharing.html
    There is another (free!) Applescript from a guy named Jon Nathan called Sync Entourage & AB Groups, that syncs Groups only. It is designed to work with Apple Sync Services, and Nathan has written me that it is up-to-date and does work with Leopard. He also wrote me that you can get an idea of how long it will take in this fashion:
    "If you open the script in the Script Editor, switch to the "Event Log" tab
    at the bottom of the script window, then run the script from here by
    clicking the "Run" button, you can watch in real time as it processes your
    contacts and you can get a sense of how long it will take to process your
    contacts. This will take some time with that many contacts & groups so it's
    probably best to run it while you can do something else like eat lunch."
    Nathan's script is available here:
    http://www.jonn8.com/html/SyncEntourageABGroups.html
    So, some answers to your questions about note exporting from Entourage:
    For tasks and notes, I decided to use two iPhone apps from a company called Appigo: Todo and Notebook. Both apps store tasks and notes locally on the iPhone, interact with each other, and can sync to a Web service called Toodledo. Toodledo can import CSV files to their (under-featured, hopefully to be improved) Web notebook, and from there, you can bring them into Notebook on the iPhone. (Notebook works great on the iPhone and you will be loving it a lot more that the Memo app on your Palm, trust me.) In Toodledo, Todo and Notebook, you use folders in place of the categories you had in Entourage, for both tasks and notes.
    Unfortunately, I had a very frustrating time getting my 300+ notes out of Entourage using Berkowitz's import-export scripts, but I did figure it out, and can save you some time if your interested. (You will need TextWrangler in addition to the Berkowitz scripts.)
    As far as tasks go, I only have about 30, so it was no big deal to enter them by hand in Toodledo and bring them onto the iPhone with Todo. (FYI, Toodledo's basic Web service is free, you pay an annual subscription fee if you want your stuff encrypted on their servers.)
    The Toodledo developer has an active forum, and the Appigo guys have Google Groups for both apps. Both Appigo and Toodledo respond directly and quickly to feature requests, questions, etc.
    So how's that? What you got for me?

  • Any way to import entourage 2004 info (messages and addresses) into Mail - after installing Lion?

    I have just installed Lion - Entourage 2004 nop longer works (ok, I should have checked!). Does anyone know if I can set up Mail to import all my Entourage info (account details, emails and addresses)?

    The thing is, sometimes when I send PDFs it's fine, and sometimes she gets it and it's a jpeg and embedded ... not consistent at all ... I didn't assume for sure it was on my end, but without sitting at her computer and looking at Outlook, which I'll do the next time we meet, it's hard to know what's going on.
    I do know that sometimes when I attach a PDF, the whole thing shows up in the body of the email (like it's embedded), and sometimes it's just a PDF icon attachment, and so I know that's something happening on my end before I even send the file, but can't for the life of me figure out what.
    I like Mail a lot. But it does lack features that Outlook and Entourage have that I like. For instance being able to send an attachment to the main recipient only, and not the CCs and BCCs, which I used to so that a client knew I was sending the final high-res file to a printer, without having to send it to them. And I never had attachment problems when I used those programs, but maybe that's simply a function of using PC to PC programs.

  • Global Address list in Entourage 2004

    Is it possible to use the Global Address List in Entourage 2004, the GAL is running on a Windows 2000 server.
    If this is possible how??
    I am very new to Mac's so I have no idea what's going on.
    Thanks

    I found the problem. I didn't check the box 'Require authentication' under the tab LDAP - Global Address List.

  • 10.6.7, hardware failure but the hard drive is intact.  I can access the hard drive via Linux.  Need to get mail from Mail.app and from Entourage 2004.

    I need to know a couple of things, but y'all may not have all the answers I need.
    First, I need to know how to retrieve the mail files from Mail.app and from Entourage 2004.  I don't know if this is a valid asusmption, but in my experience with Windows, I know that Outlook keeps everything in a single monolithic .PST file.  Is this the case with either Mail.app or with Entourage?
    Second, I need to know how to access said mail files in a Linux mail app.  The mail from Mail.app is more important than that from Entourage, so it has to take priority.  Will I need some sort of converter program, or is there enough similarity between Mail.app and one of the Linux mail applications that I can simply import it?  (BTW, I'm running Ubuntu Linux 11.04 on my Linux netbook. I wish there was some way I could get Snow Leopard on here.)
    Any advice on any of this problem will be extremely helpful. Thanks.

    I have it running on one of my single core netbooks.
    WIth your other problem, just borrow a Mac temporariy, drag a enclosure to a Apple Store and use one of theirs, they don't mind as they have Deep Freeze installed on all their machines so changes don't stick upon rebooting.

  • Transfer Entourage 2004 in Tiger to Mail in Lion

    I've been reading postings for hours but I haven't found an answer to my specific question.
    I just bought a refurb May 2011 iMac that was delivered with Lion installed. I've been using a 2005 G5 running Tiger and Office/Entourage 2004. I'd like to know if there's a way to transfer all the information from Entourage to Mail.
    I've seen posts about using Sync, but I don't know what is supposed to happen after you click the check boxes. The two computers are connected via a LAN in my house, so there's no mail server.
    I've also seen posts about using the "import" function in Mail, but it tells me it can't find Entourage (probably because I'm on the iMac and Entourage is running on the G5).
    I also bought Snow Leopard 10.6.3 from the Apple store because I have several dozen programs that I want to continue using but that won't run in Lion but I haven't done anything with it yet.
    So, here's my question: Is there a (hopefully painless) way to transfer ALL my settings and info (accounts--I have approximately 15 accounts set-up in Entourage--, schedules, existing e-mails and folders, address books, calendars, etc.) from Entourage 2004 to Mail in Lion? I exported my Identity from Entourage and I transferred the Main Identity file on my iMac, but I don't know what to do with it now. I've figured out how to transfer the folders (via drag-and-drop mbox files) but I want everything transferred.
    Also, I've not seen anything about transferring accounts from Entourage to Mail at all.
    Am I asking too much?
    Thanks!

  • Importing Entourage 2004 Email in Apple Mail

    hi,
    i want to import my emails from entourage 2004 to apple mail 3.3 and found an old apple script, but it doesn't work. could anybody suggest a tool for this ?
    thank you !

    thank you for the fast answer, i guess i have to think a bit more easier on a MAC (had PC's the last 15 yeras, but never again).

  • Microsoft entourage 2004 on .mac mail?

    Hello!
    Anyone know, how to allow Entourage 2004 to work on .mac?
    I know Entourage uses a different mail server, but I can't find it.
    Thanks for your help!

    Anyone know, how to allow Entourage 2004 to work on .mac?
    .Mac is a service provided by Apple that includes email account access and a .Mac email account can be accessed as an IMAP or POP account with any email client such as Entourage or Apple's Mail application or with an email client such as Outlook or Outlook Express on a Windows PC.
    Thanks, but want to check my entourage mail on Apple's mail program.
    There is no such thing as entourage mail so if you want to access the email account with the Mail application that you are currently accessing with Entourage, who is the email account provider for the email account you are currently accessing with Entourage?
    Is it an Apple .Mac email account or is the email account provided by your internet service provider that you use for connecting to the internet?
    You can get the account setup information for this email account by checking the account settings with Entourage such as the account type - IMAP or POP, the incoming mail server and outgoing mail server for the account along with the account's user name format which is usually the portion of your email address in front of the @ sign only but with some email account providers it is the entire email address.

  • How do I apply a rule to an entire mailing list in Mail?

    I have created several mailing lists, and I want all mail coming from anyone in these lists to go to a folder... how do I do that, besides entering emails individually? Is there a way?

    That's the thing. I have the group in my Address Book. How do I select it though?
    That window just allows me to put in email addresses... and nothing shows up when I start writing the groups name. What am I doing wrong?
    Go easy on me, I'm not even a one week old Mac user...

    To repost from elsewhere:
    Well, no one at MarkSpace or MS could fix it.
    I did. I figured it out. 30 hours of Groups, trial and error, and then, a Eureka, elegant moment.
    20 minutes for the poor sap trying to get their data out of Entourage/their Treo.
    Now who is going to pay me?

  • Wanting to switch from Entourage to Mail 2.0 Any advice appreciated.

    Greetings,
    I've been using Entourage 2004 for three years now - I'm a former Windows user. However, I am trying to migrate over to Mac only apps. I'm eager to switch over from Word and Excel but I need Windows environment compatibility. Anyway, is Mail 2.0 any good? I use Entourage for the following:
    1. Contacts
    2. Calendar Reminders
    3. Inbox Filtering (into different boxes) and Forwarding (Rules)
    4. Color Coding Contacts (e-mails, contact cards, etc.)
    Many people I know use Mail, but I was wondering if there are also must-have plug-ins for Mail 2.0? I was listening to MacBreak and they briefly spoke about Mail and plug-ins, but didn't mention any must haves. I tried QuickSilver today for the first time, and it's MS Office integration is less than stellar. The Entourage plug-in for QS drives me crazy as it rarely seems to work properly.
    Anyway, that aside, if any of you mail gurus can recommend Mail and must-have plug-ins I would appreciate it.
    Thanks in advance!

    Jason, I don't know how to fix your problem, but there are a couple of things that don't sound right to me:
    If I am sending an e-mail of some length it looks
    as if it sends, goes into my sent box, but is never
    received by the recipient. I know, because I CC myself.
    I don't understand this. What does CC have to do with it?
    It seems like Apple Mail knows which messages are tests
    and which are the ones I want to send for real and just
    blocks those from actually going out.
    Well, you've already stated that your messages go to the Sent mailbox, so it's clearly not Mail that's blocking them...
    Something to try here would be using another mail client, such as Thunderbird, and see what happens there.
    Apple : Please help me on this, because it is a very
    bothersome problem and one that I don't think is easy
    to pinpoint the cause of.
    If you really want Apple to help you on this, you've chosen the wrong way to request it.
    BTW, have you checked your server settings? :-D

  • Moving from Entourage to Mail/Address Book

    Hi, I am currently using Entourage 2004 where I have my Mac account and two other email accounts syncing. I was interested in using Apple Mail, Address Book and iCal instead. Is there a way to export my email history within all of the folders and subfolders to Mail from Entourage? Likewise, can I bring in the contacts list and calendar in Entourage to the Address Book and iCal?
    Thanks.

    BDAqua, I have one IMAP and two POP accounts. So as you may know, Entourage splits the two different eMail configs into two separate folder trees. Will Mail, bring in bother folder systems?

  • How do I switch from entourage to mail?

    I think I'd like to start using Mail again...
    Is there an EASY way of getting all my messages over to Mail, as well as my address book, all of which is in Entourage. (I POP my gmail, deleting Gmails copy once its accessed on my mac, so setting up the accounts isnt a problem.)
    And then, how would I back up my emails/address book? I think I found the folder for MAIL, but I cant seem to find the folder where all the Entourage messages are kept. I'd like to backup all my data.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    For messages, use the Import Mailboxes feature with Entourage listed as the first email client to choose from.
    For Address Book contacts, you have several options. With Entourage and the Apple Address Book launched and both positioned on the Desktop so each is partially visible, select an Entourage contact and at the menu bar go to Edit > Select All to highlight/select all contacts. Click on and drag the selected contacts to the Address Book "All" Group which will copy all contacts over.
    If this doesn't work, create a folder on the Desktop named contacts or whatever you prefer. Do the same with all Entourage contacts but click on and drag the selected contacts to the folder on the Desktop which will create a copy of each contact as an individual vCard file within the folder.
    At the Address Book menu bar, go to File > Import and select vCards navigating to the folder created on the Desktop which contacts each Entourage contact as separate vCard file.
    Assuming you are using Office 2004, Entourage 2004 includes a sync with Address Book and iCal function. Selecting this will sync the Entourage address book and Apple Address Book.
    And then, how would I back up my emails/address book?
    I think I found the folder for MAIL, but I cant seem to find
    the folder where all the Entourage messages are kept. I'd
    like to backup all my data.
    All Entourage data is stored in a single large database file located in your Documents folder > Microsoft User Data > Office 2004 Identities > The name of your Identity.
    Regarding Mail, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on your backup.
    Go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist. Copy the com.apple.mail.plist file and place the copy on your backup .
    Done with backing up Mail.
    For Address Book contacts, at the menu bar go to File and select Back up Address Book.
    Save this file on your backup and you are done.

  • SMTP error with entourage 2004 on OS 10.5

    I'm running Entourage 2004 on OS 10.5. For the last week we've had an issue with receiving emails. For several days it wouldn't download any, presenting the error "An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic." (-3259 )
    " Halfway into this, it downloaded the bulk of the emails from the days it hadn't connected, but never finished and gave the same error again. Emails can still be sent fine. It's an AOL email account.
    It's set up to receive from an IMAP server as imap.aol.com.
    It's set up to send from smtp.aol.com, overriding default port with 587, password required.
    I started to set up a new account with this email, and when it tried to verify the account settings, the IMAP settings verified fine, but the SMTP settings didn't.
    I found one forum that said "smtp.aol.com" had to be changed to "smtp.aol.com:[email protected]"
    That didn't work (couldn't find the server)
    So...it's sending emails just fine and they even get received by other mail accounts in entourage, but unable to verify the smtp settings for receiving.
    Yet it cannot receive emails and verifies imap settings just fine.

    Hi Roy,
    You have them swapped, SMTP is for Outgoing mail... usually!
    For Incoming Mail Server, try: imap.aol.com.
