MAC Email Software + 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. Am I right?
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.

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?

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

Adding .mac email alias to entourage

I want to add my .mac alias to entourage so I can send from my alias. I am already receiving mail sent to my mac alias in entourage. Help

Aliases are, as the name says, just aliases for one and the same mailbox. Aliases are not seperate mailboxes. All mails sent to either the main address or to one of the aliases will all end up in the same mailbox.
You can, however, purchase or upgrade to a .Mac family pack or buy additional email-only accounts. See here for details:
http://www.apple.com/dotmac/pricing.html

How do i set up an alias email address in entourage?

How do I set up an alias .mac email address in entourage? I set it up the same as my master .mac email address, but it is not working.

There are a couple of ways of doing this. The easiest is probably to just add the secondary address in the Mail.app -> Preferences -> Accounts field.
The specifics of which vary a little based on the OS/Mail.app version you're running, but in Yosemite:
Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts
Select your iCloud account and change the 'Alias' popup menu from your iCloud address to 'custom'.
Doing this enables the 'Email Address' field. In this field you can enter the email address you want to appear in your From header.
If you want to use multiple addresses (e.g. your iCloud address and your other alias), you can enter a comma-separated list of addresses - e.g. '[email protected], [email protected]' and then you'll have a pop-up menu on each new message where you can choose the address to use for each outgoing message. You can also set the default address in Preferences -> Composing -> Send new messages from:

TS1394 After installing maverick, microsoft entourage fails to load due to "PowerPC applications no longer supported." Now what do I do to get my email back ?

After installing OS X 10.9.1 maverick, my email program, microsoft entourage, fails to load because "PowerPC" no longer supported. What do I do now ?

I've been holding off upgrading to Mavericks until I feel like I've identified the problems I'm most likely to encounter and have a solution for them. This concerns me, becasue I thought Office 2008, including Entourage, was good to go. It's very definitely not a PPC application - I'm running it on Lion (which can't run PPC programs), and Activity Monitor identifies it as Kind=Intel. Is the issue that Mavericks is misidentifying Entourage 2008 as a PPC application?

Alternate Email Software

Does anyone have recommendations for email software? I use both Mail (Mac default software) and Entourage (version 12.2.4). Both programs have their pluses and minuses. In my opinion there are more minuses for both programs than pluses, which is why i'm looking for an alternative.
I have not yet tried the Mozilla client on the Mac. Anyone use this or have an opinion about it? I did tried using it on a non-mac PC about a year ago. I didn't get too in-depth with it, but I am remembering that it, too, had it's limits and I didn't care for it. I don't know if it works differently on the Mac.
Anyway, I'm looking for all kinds of feedback and suggestions on what all of you have to say. Thanks

Thanks for reading, Kappy and Dave. My apologies for not being clearer about what I was looking for in terms of the software's capabilities.
As I stated in my initial post, I use the most recent version of Microsoft Entourage, and utilize this for my primary accounts. A problem I regularly experience is the software crashing/quitting. I've learned from reading other forums (and the Utopia site - Microsoft's Mac software webpage) that it's a common issue with Entourage users. Other limits include the inability to mask a hyperlink, e.g., I cannot input a link to an email and then edit the text to read something like "click here," or "Apple Website" etc. The only way to edit a link like this and send it through n email is to compose the message in MS Word, then send it via Entourage. It's a minor workaround but forces me to leave the email client and compose a new message in Word. This is a hinderance if I wish to include a link in a response to an existing message or a response.
Entourage also has issues with html and forwarding. If I receive a complex html email and wish to forward the message, the html collapses and turns in to code. I've found that the only way to keep the html intact is to redirect a message; redirecting, most times, is futile because the recipient will not know the message was sent my me.
Apple's Mail software is pretty good for the most part, but it too has small limitations. I'm not entirely satisfied with the spellcheck capabilities. I've tinkered with different settings but it never seems to do the job as well as Entourage. Another limitation, while minor, is the software's inability to auto capitalize the first word or alpha character following end-sentence punctuation. These may sound minor and petty, but they are the primary reasons that Mail is not my primary client.
I spend much of my work day composing email messages. With doing business through email, time management is paramount. The absence of an auto capitalization feature and a properly working spell check are the main reasons I do not use Mail for business; I am forced to proofread messages with eagle-eyed scrutiny before I can click send to ensure that I am sending an clear, error-free communication. That's not to say that I do not proofread messages I send through Entourage. When sending business messages I re-read everything, but I don't have to pay particular attention to capitalization following a period, and I am more comfortable with Entourage's spell checker, which operates akin to Word.
I don't know what each of you are using and what you experience, but in terms of saving myself a little bit of time toward trying many clients, installing several programs that will clutter my OS, and also save money on buying an email client that I might not like, I am asking for information from people using clients other than Mail and Entourage - more or less - and what they can share about their software:
-Which clients they've used, and which do they prefer
-What capabilities/features of the software do you like
-What, if any, are the limitations of your email client software that you would like fixed/improved
-Recommendations, et al.

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.

CSS html signatures in Microsoft Entourage

Hi,
I have found a site that shows how to do it in mail but i am wondering if its do-able in Entourage.
Please help.
Essentially i wish to have a live text signature and a graphic on the right of that text. All i can see is the text goes either above or below the graphic, not next to.
Cheers.

Setting 'Entourage' to send messages as HTML:
01. Select 'Entourage's 'Entourage, Account Settings...' (or 'Tools, Accounts') menu item.
02. Click once on the e-Mail address your AppleScript message will be sent 'from', and then the toolbars' 'Edit' icon button (or double click on the e-Mail address). The 'Edit Account' window will appear.
03. Click on the 'Options' tab.
04. Under 'Header' enter ...
content-type
05. Under 'Value' enter ...
text/html
06. Click the 'OK' button of the 'Edit Account' window.
07. Close the 'Accounts' window.
Now, within your AppleScript code, you must surround your e-Mail messages' content with at least '<html>' and '</html>'.
A working example of your code is shown below.
set vEmailAdd to "[email protected]"
set strRecipientName to "ClientName"
set vClipboard to "This is a simple e-Mail message."
set vEmailSubject to "TestInvoice"
set vClipboard to "<html><body>" & vClipboard & "</body></html>"
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
set composeMessage to (a reference to (make new outgoing message with properties {recipient:{address:vEmailAdd, display name:strRecipientName, recipient type:to recipient}, content:vClipboard, subject:vEmailSubject}))
send composeMessage
end tell

I have a .mac email address, can i use this as a regular email address?

I have a .mac email address which i set up for ichat (ages ago) how can i use this as a regular email address in an email client? Is there SMTP/POP details?

With the introduction of iCloud, Apple has discontinued its "@mac.com" addresses support and has switched to Users using "@me.com" suffixes. To utilize this you will need to setup an iCloud account with a new Apple ID. And Apple discontinued iChat and has switched to Messages.app, using Apple ID's.
Hope this helps

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.

Changing from microsoft entourage to mac mail 7.2 ?

Is there a way to switch from Microsoft Entourage 2008, Version 12.3.5 [latest installed update v 12.3.6] to Mac Mail 7.2 and keep all my mailboxes and contacts?
John Modder

Open Entourage, drag the email account folder to the desktop of your Mac, this will produce an .mbox file. Import that file into Mail (File>Import)
Theoretically your folder structure should be intact, realistically it may not be.

On a mac computer, how do i set the default brower to open up links in emails to Safari, and not Mozilla

Thanks for the suggestion.
A few weeks ago I downloaded some free software from the "tucows.com" website, it appears to have permanently hijacked my web browsers (both firefox and IE) so all searches go to their "searchqu" site, and new tabs open at that site. I was unable to repair this with the addins you suggested or by editing my user preferences files, and ended up having to reinstall firefox. Hopefully I won't run into the tucows rootkit ;)
But thanks anyway.

Does Microsoft Entourage 2008 for mac work with the new Mac OS X v 10.7 Lion

Does Microsoft Entourage 2008 for mac work with the new Mac OS X v 10.7 Lion?
I am just about to install Lion just need to check to see if if my work e-mail will work

Sarah,
Check this link:
http://roaringapps.com/app:2533
It contains some issues that people have encountered with Lion and Office 2008. It appears it can work, but you may have to go through some of the steps a few of the posters there have listed.
That website also contains a pretty large list of applications and if they will work with Lion.
Hope this helps! (I am not affiliated in any way with the site linked).

Hi kellyo68596735,
That capability is a function of PDFMaker, which is currently only available on Windows.
