Greetings,
I need to connect to an exchange server at work, and I've been using entourage (mail.app works, but I can't set which folders it syncs, it want to grab all of them, and the public folders that I don't want are pretty big and slow).
I decided to try the 2004 trial, since entourage X is a little buggy and slow, hogs the processor, and has some uninformative progress dialogs, pretty annoying when you spend a lot of time on dial up.
Entourage 2004 imported my settings, but would not connect. It kept reporting a (114) unknown error. I have tried several times to create my account manually, no luck. 2004 just has different dialogs and account settings, so I can't make it do the same thing as X with certainty.
Anyone out there know how to completely map my X account settings to 2004? or, if I have moved the account successfully, does anyone out there have any reason to believe that there might be something in my exchange serve blocking 2004 but not X?
here are my settings between the two clients:
under the settings tab for 2004 and X: ID xxxxx Password xxxx domain xx server server1.xx.xxx.xxx name roger carlson email address [EMAIL PROTECTED]
under mail for X: smtp server1.xx.xxx.xxx advanced receiving: always use secure password advanced sending: SMTP server requires authentication under 2004, no options but a limit on size of downloads.
under directory, same for both: LDAP: server2.xx.xxx.xxx advanced: LDAP server req. a secure connection override default LDAP port: 3268
for both, free/busy server server1.xx.xxx.xxx
I think that the problem is that in 2004, there is no way to set secure password or authentication. Yes, I have tried both manual setup and the setup assistant, and I do know that when the assistant fails, it finally offers a dialog with an SSL checkbox. That doesn't change anything. I believe it is managing to communicate a bit with the server, because it takes a while to fail. When I put in junk for the server, it fails very quickly.
Any ideas? Or should I just stick with X and give up on 2004? maybe the upgrade isn't worth the trouble?
thanks in advance, sorry if this is covering old ground.
Roger
