Different addresses on mail and entourage

Hello,
Is it possible to have both mail and entourage running on the same machine but have each application assigned to different email addresses? I am a bit on the neurotic side and would like to have mail for my mac account but entourage for my yahoo account.
Thanks

Of course you can! So long as you have different mailboxes, otherwise you'll be downloading all the mail from the same account, and the other mail program will get nothing.

Apple mail and Entourage duplicate email receipt

I noticed a new problem running Apple mail and Entourage mail on the same imac. Every incoming email to apple mail now also appears in the entourage inbox even though they are separate accounts with different services. The apple mail is a .me account using imap. The entourage mail is a pop account. I have used this setup flawlessly for the past 2 years, and have no idea why unexpected duplicate emails now occur in both inboxes. It only occurs with email sent to the apple mail account, and not vice versa. I don't know if this is related to a recent mac os x update on iMac to the latest version 10.6.4. I have made no preference changes to the email accounts. Anyone know what's causing this and how to fix it?

Are you using POP email? If you are look into Mail's Preferences, Accounts tab, highlight the account, Advanced tab and make sure you don't Save message of the server after download for days.

Unsure of what happened to my address book, mail, and app store?

My address book, mail, and app store are missing! Did they come with the computer when I bought it? (I have Mac OS X 10.6.8 and I bought it about 2 years ago) They all have different problems when I click on them. For starters, they three look like this in my app folder
Then, when i click my address book, it comes out all smushed like this: ( i had to crop out much of the image due to personal information, but all information and links are smushed)
The app store, when clicked, force quits immediately.
& lastly, the mail will not even open. no blank screen, no force quitting apple message, nothing. infact, to quit the mail program, i have to force stop it myself.
I really want to use these things and I just don't understand why they dont work, shouldnt they be included with my computer? that's the impression i was under, i didn't know i had to purchase the app store, mail, or address book? why wont they show up and what can i do to fix this?

This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only Guest login created by Find My Mac.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Mail AND entourage showing contacts in the order last name, first name?

hi, I want to use mail and entourage parallel. mail can display the name in the "correct" order last name, first name. using entourage I cannot find this option. it´s always a mess, sorted by last name, but in the order: first name last name.
Does somebody know the solution how to tell entourage to behave like mail in this matter ?

Templeton's suggestion is best if needing help with Microsoft Entourage. Since I know the answer is "not possible" I can at least steer you toward an AppleScript that will give you a workaround. Have a look here <http://www.barryw.net/weblog/files/category-5.html>.
Further questions about this script should be directed either to its author or to Microsoft's Entourage newsgroup <http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office.entourage>.
Hope this helps! bill

Email receiving but not sending, from mail AND entourage

Mail and Entourage on my MacBook Pro have both stopped sending mail from all of the accounts set up, although they are receiving okay. There doesn't seem to be a problem with the smtp server as my G5 iMac is sending mail no problem through the same smtp server.
Mail says "Client host rejected. Access denied."
Entourage says "Server did not understand the request."
Anyone have any ideas on this?

Differences in Apple Mail and Entourage

I am running both Apple Mail and Entourage. I've noticed some differences I'd like to have someone explain to me. Both have accounts connected to Exchange.
1. Apple Mail can access the Exchange server from any internet connection. Entourage has to be on the same subnet in order to connect. Why is this happening?
2. I just rebooted my Exchange server and Entourage will send and receive but Mail will only send. What would cause that to happen?
gbs

Let me answer my question. Apple mail uses IMAP and Entourage uses OWA. That doesn't necessarily answer why Entourage can't access the server when off the subnet.
When rebooting the server the IMAP protocol was not automatically started which prevented Mail from receiving messages.

Question about mail and entourage

Can I secure my mail and entourage by making a password on it so that someone can't totally open my them (mail and entourage)?

Are you asking if you can assign a password to your email before they're sent? If so, the answer is no. However, Secure Socket Layer or SSL email servers provide some level of security.
You might want to look into the usability of a Public Key Infrastructure or PKI. This will require a receiver of the email to have PKI as well, though. See http://www.pki-page.org/.
Alternatively, you can assign passwords to Office documents attached to your email.

Different Address Book name and Mail recipient name

I sync my mobile phone with my mac so all my contacts are in Address Book (and hence are the same as my Mail.app addresses).
I add details to the name fields in my mobile phone (eg wife's and children's name) to remind me when someone calls.
eg.
Bill Smith's wife's name is Jane and his kids are Tom and Sue. So the mobile phone contact might be:
Bill (Jane, Tom, Sue) Smith
That works fine for my mobile phone, but when I use the same contact for email the recipients see "Bill (Jane, Tom, Sue) Smith". Not very professional.
I realise I could maintain two contacts for Bill (one with his phone numbers, and the other with his email address) but is there another way? Can I tell Mail to use a different field for the name or even just display the email address with no name at all?

This is a very strange problem that I am suffering since 2 years ago.
It seems that Mail.app likes to autocomplete your address book contacts with mail information but it makes it wrongly.
This can be avoided by several ways:
-unchecking that option in Mail/Preferences/Composing (I'm Spanish, so I'm not sure if that is the correct menu) but this also turns off the autocompleting when entering addresses in the "To:" form.
Apple should make different checkboxes because they are different options...
-putting spaces when surnames not needed so Mail thinks it is completed and won't autocomplete it
-Checking and deleting "Previous Receipts" menu because here starts the problem. If here the name is ok, it will remain ok but if here appears dupicated it will be duplicated very soon (I'm not sure when actually) so check it, correct it in address book and delete the entry from previous receipts.
-LAST AND BEST. Stop using previous receipts, it will still autofilling the "To:" form with your addressbook contacts but you don't have to check previous receipts every time you send a mail. Delete all the list, close mail and enter "defaults write com.apple.mail SuppressAddressHistory -bool true" in Terminal.

Strange problem with auto-fill addresses in mail and address book

There's an entry in my address book (version 4.0.6) that keeps adding a first name to an entry. I keep deleting it and somehow the first name keeps getting added. I suspected that Mail (2.1.3) was using auto-fill or LDAP to take the name it remembered in Mail and put it in Address Book by associating the email address, so I turned off LDAP and auto-fill and the problem still persists.
As an aside, I use mobileme to sync two macs (Address Book) and a pc (Outlook) so I really want to clear up this problem so the phantom entry does not keep getting transfered to all databases.
Should I delete some cache or something? One other problem (unsure if it's related) is that my Mail application always ask for my keychain password on startup - I have tried the keychain repair app and it seemed to work once, though this problem persists, as well.
Thank you in advance!

Yes. the dot in front makes it invisible.
Show hidden files...
Open the terminal and type or copy/paste:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
Reverting to the default of NOT showing hidden files:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false
Reboot or Force Finder quit needed for either change to show.
I'd move them both to the Desktop then reboot, if it works fine then you can Trash them.

HT2500 How to copy all addresses in mail and export CSV?

I've got 250+ addresses that I can access when sending email. I want to export those addresses into a .csv form to be able to import them to another mail program. If I go through Address Book I will only get 66 vcards and will not have the rest. Any ideas or workarounds?

Some of us like to advise against storing ''anything ''in the Inbox, let alone adding to it your Sent messages.
The setting you mention will start saving sent messages immediately. It's up to you to move historic messages from the proper Sent folder to wherever you want them. Be aware that if the account uses IMAP, it may take some time for the client (Thunderbird) and the server to get back into step.
I file my messages in different folders according to who I'm corresponding with (family), or the project the messages relate to (at work). So yes I too want replies filed alongside the messages they respond to. I go about this by using an add-on, "Copy Sent To Current" which modifies Thunderbird's storing strategy for sent messages, and can be set to prompt me to choose when sending.
Another approach you may prefer is Conversations, as in gmail, where the messages in a to-and-fro conversation are strung together. However in most business correspondence, it's customary to simply top-post at the top of the incoming message and send the whole thing back, so it becomes less necessary or useful to store all the messages anyway. Each message is in itself a summary of the conversation so far.
In either case, typing the appropriate words into the add-ons window's search box will find suitable add-ons for you.

In Thunderbird, I cannot send email. I am asked to enter an email address in Mail and Newsgroup Account settings but when I click on this option, nothing opens.

I can connect to Thunderbird and receive email. However, I cannot send emails. When I press send (either from replying to an email or entering an email address manually) I get the following error message:
Sending of message failed.
No sender specified. Please fill in your email address in the Mail & Newsgroup Account settings.
When I click on the menu option within the email message Tools/Mail & Newsgroup, the message minimises and the programme returns me to my inbox. There is no Mail & Newsgroup setting on the mail programme.

Comparing Mac Mail and Entourage?

How do people compare the pros and cons of Mac Mail vs. Entourage?
iBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

A broad question, but the first point of consideration might be if you use an Exchange Server (at your place of work as an example) for Mail, Calendar, Contacts, etc. Entourage is more or less Microsoft's equivalent of Outlook for the Mac, and easily integrates with Exchange.
Mail is a standalone mail application, that allows you to access POP or IMAP mail services.
Hope that helps,

Import trouble into Mail and Entourage

Hi All,
Just swtiched to Mac from a PC and I am trying hard to get my Outlook files from my PC imported into Entourage. I've been using the system where your first import the Outlook files into Netscape 7.2, transfer the folder to the Mac, and then important into Mail (eventually into Entourage).
Here's the issue: When I do the import into Mail from the Netscape export, only ONE e-mail shows up in each of my imported folders (some should have thousands of messages). I've tried several times and I can't figure out what is wrong...nor can I seem to find any evidence of anyone else having this problem.
I checked the Netscape export files and they are very large on my big e-mail folders, so I know the data is there.
Please help...I will be very grateful for any assistance!
Warmly,
Dave Stachowiak

Hi Dave.
I don’t know whether it would matter, but I’d use Thunderbird instead of Netscape as the intermediate mail client.
Also (and this does matter), you’d get better results using Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to do the conversion.
Eudora Mailbox Cleaner requires rebuilding the imported mailboxes in Mail afterwards, but instead of rebuilding them one by one, you can re-create the entire index as follows:
1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. Make a backup copy of this folder, just in case something goes wrong, e.g. by dragging it to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
3. Locate Envelope Index and move it to the Trash. If you see any other “Envelope Index”-named file there, delete it as well.
4. Open Mail. It will tell you that your mail needs to be “imported”. Click Continue and Mail will proceed to re-create Envelope Index — Mail says it’s “importing”, but it just re-creates the index if the mailboxes are already in Mail 2.x format.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

G mail and entourage

I just created a gmail account and successfully got it into entourage. unlike my hotlmail accounts, there are no sub-folders for sent, deleted mail, etc.
but the main problem is although i can send and receive sith the new account, as soon as mail comes in from gmail, it goes to the gmail folder then immediately disappears. i realized that it is somehow transfered to my main inbox for roadrunner (same with sent messages, but to the rr inbox, not sent message folder).
can't find anything on google site or entourage help.
thanks.

Hi Donna,
Since Entourage is not an Apple product. You'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office> rather than an Apple forum that focuses on Mac/Windows compatibility.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

Right Click/Ctrl Click Addresses in Mail and Address Book

I used to be able to right click an email address in a mail message to copy just the address - now that action copies the entire entry: "FirstName LastName <[email protected]>" - so this handy feature is now gone.
Rt Click/Ctrl Click on the email address in Address Book used to bring up 'New Message' in a pop-up menu, this feature is gone too.

Terrific! Thanks for the speedy response. Here's the important part of that post, for posterity:
I did some digging and found a very relevant preference setting, AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard.
1) Quit Mail
2) Go to your Terminal, and copy and paste the following command (all on one line).
defaults write com.apple.mail AddressesIncludeNameOnPasteboard -bool NO
3) Open Mail
When you open Mail again, copying addresses will be back to the 10.5 behavior.
