My wife and I just purchased a G5 iMac to replace our recently-deceased G3 iMac. It came with Office 2004 for Mac Test Drive pre-installed, so I thought we'd put it through its paces (we moved from Outlook Express 4.5 through Entourage v.X on the former machine). Now that VPC7 is near-to-shipping, I'm considering upgrading from Office v.X to Office 2004 Pro. However, I'm having a hard time getting adjusted to a number of features/bugs with Entourage 2004. I kind of ignored most of the 2004 questions on this list when they first appeared, since I wasn't planning on upgrading, but I took a look at the FAQ on the Entourage MVP Help page and a few are still unanswered. I'm separating them into separate posts, so the subject will be relevant.
1. Office 2004 Test Drive automatically checks the "Leave a copy of each message on the server" box in the Accounts option "so that you won't lose any mail should you decide not to buy the full version and go back to your previous mail client, where all accumulated mail will download to update it." I consider this a good feature, since I may decide to just go back to the comfort of Entourage v.X rather than ponying up the $330. However, the box directly below that, "Delete messages from the server after x days," is also checked and greyed out and is set for 2 days (this was our setting for the account in v.X). Thus, our mail has been getting deleted from the server after 2 days. And if the trial period ends without our having purchased 2004, we'll have mail stuck in the 2004 database that we cannot get into v.X. Am I missing something?
