- Email and Contacts database in one program.
- OS X.
- Some of the nice mail-handling features (automatic tracking of my correspondence with people.
I have a few questions:
- In Emailer, I use “Command-E” to select the first instance of a message title in a digest, then “Command-G” the subsequent instances and the messages themselves (no trip through the Find/Save dialog box). Is there an equivalent in Entourage?
- It appears that digests arrive both as a single message in the message window AND as attachments, which can be selected individually for responding. Does this eliminate the need for an AppleScript to extract individual messages from a digest? How does one extract one message to save while deleting the digest as a whole?
- What files or folders do I need to copy from my desktop Mac to my PowerBook to carry my database with me from place to place? I sense that this is what I’ll do to keep my contacts, etc., stuff that used to be in Palm DeskTop, updated on the two machines as well.
- When I import my database from Emailer, will Emailer’s folder structure be maintained?
- One problem with Emailer was that html messages arrived as attachments with names that didn’t indicate what was inside them, and of course when I’d move my Emailer database from machine to machine, the attachments wouldn’t follow. Does Entourage handle this better? What about binary attachments—when I copy my database from one machine to another, do these attachments go along for the ride with proper pathnames so that they can be found from their parent message on the receiving machine?
