Entourage Set-Up
Hi. I want to set-up my daughter with an email account. She is a user with her own log-in. When we attempt to open entourage (2004) in her account, it prompts us that it can't be opened, suggesting rebuilding the database. We also get a (-50) error.
I thought I set permissions correctly, but must be missing something.
- Tried rebuilding database through my admin account, just for yucks, to no avail.
- Put alias in the main users-account folder; placed original under my daughter's user folders - and vice versa. Didn't help.
Thanks for your reply.
Ok...I experimented with a new account on my computer..
I don't believe your daughter has permissions to view the Entourage data stored on the Entourage Identity under your OS X Login Account...
If you want her to have all the emails that currently are in Entourage, I think you are going to have to copy to a backup hard drive the Entourage identity that you have been using up to this point, and then copy them back under your daughter's account:
1. While your daughter is logged in, and under her Entourage account, click on Entourage>Switch Identity. Highlight the Identity that has currently available for her, and rename it to something else (so that the next file you import won't be confused with the current identity).
2. Log out of daughter's OS X, and log into your OS X. Now take a look at the folder Documents/Microsoft User Data/Identities and the folder Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2004 Identities.
3. Copy the Identity for the Entourage Account that you've been using to an external hard disk. It could be called "Main Identity" if no others have been set up. If you don't have an external hard drive, try to copy the Identity folder to the folder Macintosh/Users/Shared (actually duplicate the folder and contents--don't make an alias of it).
4. Then log in to your daughter's OS X account. Once logged in, copy the identity folder (with all it's associated files) to her Documents/Microsoft User Data/ folder.
5. With your daughter logged in, start Entourage, and click on the Entourage>Switch Identity. If you see the Identity you want in the window, click on it.
Hopefully everything you had under your account will now be on her account as well. Because of the permissions issue, they will now be separate and distinct (emails she received will not show up when you are logged into your OS X account).
IF the folder you expect to show up in Entourage isn't there, recheck where you placed the new identities folder. Don't try to rename it under OS X. Entourage won't recognize it if you do...
Perhaps someone out there can let CoachDad know of a way to change the permissions of his Identities Folder so that it will be available to his daughter without going through the above steps?
Hope this helps. I may be out of internet connectivity for a few days starting Wednesday...

Entourage - set contact category
Hi,
This might not be the right forum for this but there are an awful lot of knowledgeable people here
I'm trying to add a category to an Entourage contact with the following script:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set category of contact id 280 to {category id 12, 19}
end tell
This generates the error message:
error "Microsoft Entourage got an error: Expected a reference." number -1727
I can't see what can be causing the error. What am I missing?
Thanks for your help.Found it!
The problem was in the {category id 12, 19} format. it should have read:
set category of contact id 280 to {category id 12, category id 19}
I spent so long looking into this I could no longer see the wood from the trees.

Email Software for MAC + Microsoft Entourage Setting
Hi,
I would like to know which MAC email software has advanced features, Apple Mail or Microsoft Entourage?
I like Microsoft Outlook in Windows, but I think in MAC, we have only Microsoft Entourage is available, no Microsoft Entourage.
The main feature I like is "read request", I think is not available in Microsoft Entourage.
Also, in Microsoft Entourage, I am getting images from my friend, but every time I need to click on "Download images". So, is there any way to save my setting permanently so i don't need to click every time on "Download images" for emails I am getting from same person.
I really appreciate your support.
Thanks.Hello Dan
I see the problem.
You can import your pst but you're right, it's a different format and copy/paste won't do
Here is the link to Microsoft How To on this topic
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2413370/en-us
I suppose you could also use bootcamp and have windows with outlook on your mac.
Also, I'm wondering if using a portable apps would do (I have not tested). You could setup on a USB key with Thunderbird MAC and Thunderbird PC and see if they can use the same profile.
All the best

Thanks.Can you be specific about what you consider an "advanced" feature?
but I think in MAC, we have only Microsoft Entourage is available, no Microsoft Entourage.
Sorry, but this statement doesn't make any sense (and it's Mac, not MAC). What is the real question you're asking?
I am getting images from my friend, but every time I need to click on "Download images".
Who's using Entourage, you or your friend? Is your friend sending HTML emails with images, or is he/she sending images as attachments to the email itself?

Easy question for someone. I am using entourage for my mail but cannot send mail. is there a guide for setting up the account as I get an error message every time I try. What settings do I need to input.
ThanksActually, a more precise link is: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups
Either way, we cannot help you with what settings to enter. You'd need to ask your network admin or ISP for the server settings. -
Send to 2nd email address in Entourage
I like to add a second email address recipient to this script:
set strRecipientAddr to "[email protected]"
set strRecipientName to "OpticalCo"
set theMessage to "Latest LabelFile for today"
set subjectvar to "Latest file attached"
set strLogFile to (path to home folder) & "Desktop:LabelFile.df1.zip" as text
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set composeMessage to (a reference to (make new outgoing message ¬
with properties {recipient:{address:strRecipientAddr, display name:strRecipientName, recipient type:to recipient}, content:theMessage, subject:subjectvar} ))
make new attachment at composeMessage with properties {file:strLogFile}
send composeMessage
end tell
It's not required for the 2nd address to be hidden.
Any help would be appreciated?The general syntax for multiple addresses in Entourage is:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
activate
make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"filename", recipient:"[email protected]; [email protected]", content:"the_content"}
end tell
In other words, the addresses in your string are separated by a semicolon. -

I am trying to create a script to send a message I have in my drafts folder at a particular time, i intend to use ikey or keyboard Maestro to run the script but I am struggling with the script itself, can anyone direct me?
I need the script to recognize the subject title in order to send the correct email
set strRecipientAddr to "[email protected]"
set strRecipientName to "Name"
set subjectvar to "test email"
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set composeMessage to (a reference to (make new outgoing message ¬
with properties {recipient:{address:strRecipientAddr, display name:strRecipientName, recipient type:to recipient}, subject:subjectvar} ¬
send composeMessage
end tell
many thanks!
TonyIn that case, unless you actually need to review the contents of the email in order to approve the invoice, I would use dispatch time '2' and specify the 24 hour hold on the NAST record. RSNAST00 will not process the record until that time and the email will not be dropped into the queue. This is a safer method than allowing the email to be generated and possibly processed incorrectly. You can set a wait time on an email as well though.

Switching from Entourage back to Mail...any suggestions
I downloaded Entourage and I am not happy with it, I want to go back to mail but I'm worried about the switch, anyone have any suggestions on keeping the previous emails?
If you have Entourage set up to use IMAP and leave messages on the mail server, all you need to do is simply not use Entourage any more. No big deal.

Iphone Calendar Invites sync with OWA but not Entourage
I have a MacBook Air (OS X 10.5.7), iPhone 3g (running os 3.0) and Office 2008. I have Entourage set up and running for email and contacts but it only syncs one-way for calendar - from Entourage/Exchange to iPhone, but not the reverse.
The iPhone syncs with changes made in Entourage/Exchange calendar.
If I create a calendar event on my iPhone, it will show up in OWA, but not in the Entourage calendar. If I accept a calendar invite on the iPhone, it shows up in OWA, but not in Entourage.
If I create an appointment or calendar event in Entourage, it shows up in OWA and the iPhone.
If I create an invite for an event on the iPhone, other participants receive the invite.
The only thing that doesn't work is creating or accepting a calendar event on the iPhone or OWA and seeing it in Entourage. Help! Very frustrated.On your iPhone, go to settings and then mail,contacts,calendar,etc. Change your default calendar to Entourage.

Hey guys. I hope this is a suitable forum for posting a question about Entourage. I FINALLY got Tiger and wanted to do a fresh install so I backed everything up to an external HD and installed Tiger. I wanted to save all my Entourage setting, so I did the export and chose to save pretty much everything - emails, contacs, settings etc. As you probably know, it creates an .rge file of the archived info. After finishing the installation of Tiger and Office, I fired up Entourage and went to import the .rge file. It brought back my (and my wife's) contacts, but our emails are nowhere to be found. Fortunately, I had mine on the server, but my wife's email from her account are gone. It said everthing was imported successfully, so I don't understand what happened. Anyone have any ideas on this? Am I missing something? Do I need to do something special in order to see the old archived emails? Thanks for the help guys.
Forget about importing the files. All you need to do is move the Microsoft User Data folder located in Users --> YourUser --> Documents to that same location on your new installation.
If you didn't backup that folder, I suggest you post your question on Microsoft's Mac newsgroups since it's really not related to "Windows Compatibility:

Entourage help: receiving duplicate messages!
Sometimes I get the same message 5 or 6 times in Entourage and then it won't let me delete them. I press delete and nothing happens. When I log in to my webmail account (which Entourage is linked to) the message is only there once. Help!!
Sounds like maybe you have Entourage set to leave messages on the server, which will cause it to download the same message again and again.
Go into Tools / Accounts and choose the account you want to edit
Click Options / Server Options and deselect "Leave copy of message on server"
Hope that helps! -
What are the correct Entourage Setting to send and receive e-mail on comcast.net?
As Entourage is a Microsoft product, you may be better off asking this question in their forums. Comcast can provide you with information such as the server names for sending and receiving email.
Best of luck. -
I'm posting on behalf of my boss, he's in need of an Applescript for Entourage.
It needs to extract the body of incoming emails and put the results into a .csv file on the desktop.
The emails will be in the following format:
First Name: John
Last Name: Smith
Street Address 1: 9 High Street
City: New York
Postal Code/Zip: 12345
Country: USA
There are also 4 other fields before First Name, but these need to be ignored.
The First Name and Last Name need to be put into the same field in the .csv field. So it would be: John Smith.
I posted this on scriptlance but I don't think there's anyone there who has the skills. So feel free to post a bid on what price you could do this for.Two examples.
Example 01.
Process latest e-Mail messge of 'Inbox'.
--- Code starts here ---
property tList : {"First Name: ", "Last Name: ", "Street Address 1: ", "City: ", "Postal Code/Zip: ", "Country: "}
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"

set tParagraphs to paragraphs of message_Content -- Convert e-Mail message to individual lines of text.
set tString to "" -- Variable to contain '.csv' files' content.
repeat with i in tParagraphs -- Cycle through the individual lines of text.
repeat with j in tList -- Cycle through the items of 'tList'.
-- If the line of text contains an item from the 'tList' continue -
if (i contains j) then if (j contains (item 1 of tList)) then -- If the line of text contains first item of 'tList', continue, by appending a space (' ') after 'tString's new entry, else ...
set tString to tString & (get (characters ((count j) + 1) through (count i) of i) as string) & " "
else -- ... append a comma (',') after 'tString's new entry.
set tString to tString & (get (characters ((count j) + 1) through (count i) of i) as string) & ","
end if
end repeat
end repeat
end tell
if ((count (tString)) > 0) then -- If 'tString' is not empty, continue.
set tDate to do shell script ("date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S") -- Obtain unique name for '.csv' file.
-- Write the contents of the 'tString' to tne newly created 'Desktop' based '.csv' file.
set FILE_REF to open for access ((((path to desktop from user domain) as string) & tDate) & "Entourage.csv") with write permission
write tString to FILE_REF
close access FILE_REF
-- Format of newly created 'Desktop' based file is: 'YYYYMMDDHHMMSSEntrouage.csv',
-- where 'YYYY' is year, 'MM' is month, 'DD' is day, 'HH' is hours, 'MM' is minutes, and 'SS' is seconds.

Mac OS X (10.4.6) -
Hi, I need a script that would select a group from Entourage address book as bcc recipient.
Following is a script I have compiled that would copy some selected text from Safari and paste it in a new Entourage message. I managed to select the "to recipient" and also a "signature" but do not know how to add a bcc recipient (which is a group).
Any hint?
Here is the script so far:
delay 1
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "c" using command down
end tell
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set theRecipient to {address:{display name:"My Name", address:"[email protected]"}, recipient type:to recipient}
set theSignature to the content of signature "Sign1"
set theMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {recipient:theRecipient, content:theSignature}
activate
end tell
open theMessage
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "v" using command down
end tellUsing portions of Budgies' and keesters' code ...
set theSender to "[email protected]"
set theSubject to "Bob"
set theBody to "is this what your after?"
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set MyReply to make new outgoing message with properties {recipient:theSender, subject:"Hello: " & theSubject, content:theBody}
open MyReply -- (Optional) Display the e-Mail message. Delete or comment this line (with '--') to not display the e-Mail message.
--send MyReply --Un mark this to auto send your mail.
