Entourage issues

[ashleye]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel
Email Client: Exchange

Anyone know solutions for these issues?:
- The calendars at the base of the calendar folders list is missing. This was a very useful feature.
- The message resend option appears to be missing? It was very useful when a message bounced back due to an address problem and you could resend without having to cut and paste anything.
- For only a few specific contacts could I drag and drop to a VCF (Vcard) file on the desktop or to message attachment area in a new message. Not sure what's wrong with the formats for the other 500 contacts in my address book and contact book. Maybe those contact formats are corrupt?
- I haven't been able to sync Entourage address/contacts with the Mac address book. I followed the Entourage directions: "Synchronize Entourage with a device or other applications", if you can get it to work, please let me know how.

Resend is under the "Message" menu but it would have been nice for MS to
have included a button like 2004 or a keyboard command. Don't use the other
features I'm afraid.

Hope this helps

- The calendars at the base of the calendar folders list is missing. This was

a very useful feature.

here's a little upward pointing arrow in the bottom left hand corner of the
window border - click on that and you mini-calendar will 'grow' into it's old
position. Note that in 2008 this mini-calendar is available in mail & other
views as well!

- The message resend option appears to be missing? It was very useful when a
message bounced back due to an address problem and you could resend without
having to cut and paste anything.

First em under the 'message' menu. Note that it is greyed out until you
select a sent message.

- For only a few specific contacts could I drag and drop to a VCF (Vcard)
file on the desktop or to message attachment area in a new message. Not sure
what's wrong with the formats for the other 500 contacts in my address book
and contact book. Maybe those contact formats are corrupt?

it may be (there's also a 'send as vcf' command in the contact menu to save
yu dragging them to the desktop).

if his persists it may be worth rebuilding the database.

- I haven't been able to sync Entourage address/contacts with the Mac address

book. I followed the Entourage directions: "Synchronize Entourage with a
device or other applications", if you can get it to work, please let me know
how.

sync in entourage 2008 is seriously broken. I would advise against trying it
in the current version.

Thanks for the tips, found the calendars and resend. MS should put back the resend as a button though.

Rebuilt the DB but no luck with being able to extract any vCards from my address or contact folders. Export as a vCard won't work either.

What do I do to preserve my address files and get them to a state where vCard drag and drop and export work? :chagrin:
