Hi,

sharing email folders, or calendar items and contacts, is only supported via
Exchange server. Very few home users own an Exchange server, as such a
server is mostly used in businesses. Furthermore, even if you had access to
an Exchange server, you would not be able to use it, as the Home & Student
edition of Office 2008 does not offer Exchange support.

There may be other solutions in your case; just give a detailed description
of what you are trying to do, and we might be able to come up with a couple
of suggestions.

Hello again,

this is an entirely different issue, and it is not related to Entourage at
all (which is what this newsgroup is about). There are a number of ways to
achieve this, and the easiest solution is the use of iDisk (available to
MobileMe/.Mac users). You should post this question on Apple's Mac OS X
discussion boards, as you are more likely to get an answer there.

Hi again,

now that is a yet another issue. You should have mentioned the fact that you
are using Entourage's Project Center right from the start; that would have
simplified things a great deal. Anyway, what I have mentioned before remains
true: you need some sort of server to share your project data (AppleShare or
HTTP DAV file server). An iDisk (part of MobileMe) will also work. If you do
not have access to any of these, then you won't be able to share your
project data.

DropBox which is free for up to 2Gb of data is designed to share files and
show the different revisions.
