Constant Errors (disable?)

[profitj]

I wander quite a bit with my laptop. Whenever I lose network, entourage
starts spamming me with error messages, the icon starts bouncing in the dock
and it generally starts DEMANDING attention.

Is there a way to stop this behavior? Maybe disable the Error message
window? Make the Dock icon only bounce once on a notification (like iChat
and other apps do)? Maybe have entourage intelligently detect online/offline
settings, like lil ol' Mail.app does?

Thanks,
Josh

The annoying Dock Bouncing problem was fixed in SP-1. I see from the Source
of your message that you have not updated Entourage. You'll find the upgrade
here:

You might want to consider selecting "Work Offline" when you are out of
range.

Thanks! Updated to SP-1. Hopefully that will fix that for good.

I'll try and use the offline settings. That should help. Why is it that
Entourage can't detect network settings like mail.app does?

It used to detect the Location Manager <wistfully>. Anyhow, I have all my
schedules set to run "only if connected." Checking that box might help.
