Hi Damon
Let me know if you get any reasonable suggestions. But like you say,
Entourage isn't a MAPI client and is still not fully integrated into
Exchange through WebDAV. I miss the ease of use that Outlook 2001 brought to
the table and also its faster interface. Entourage is sluggish at the best
of times.
It's all part of Microsoft's senior management plan not to fully support the
professional corporate market. It must drive their MBU mad!
Regards
David Miller

> Delegate Issues
> One user who is a PA to her boss has Editor delegate privileges to her
> boss's calendar. In Outlook 2000 on PC, she can create entries, and also
> edit and delete entries that she has created and also those her boss has
> created too.
>
> In Entourage, she can create, edit and delete her own entries, but cannot
> edit or delete her boss's entries. This happens with contacts too.
>
> The same user also has editor access to 2 generic mailboxes. She is able to
> create new emails and reply to emails but not delete them. This also happens
> for other users too, and the ability to delete emails is available in
> Outlook 2000 on PC.

> General Application Sluggishness
> Users need to access a number of calendars for other staff in the
> organisation. During testing I found that if you access a calendar through
> the Open Other User's Folder menu command, that the calendar is cached
> locally and after disconnection, accessing the calendar at a later date
> causes the calendar to be cached again.
>
> Therefore, I advised users not to disconnect from the calendars so that the
> caching only occurs for new or modified items. This has caused Entourage to
> be very sluggish as it seems to be constantly accessing the Exchange server
> for changes to the connected calendars. Users are generally having upwards
> of 10 calendars connected with a couple of users having upwards of 20. The
> progress bar in the bottom right corner of the main Entourage window is
> constantly working and users are having problems with even typing an email.

> Is there anything I can do to stop these problems from happening? The
> delegate issue is particularly problematic as they didn't occur in Outlook
> 2001 and the PA's boss is wanting them to revert back to it. This is a real
> backwards step for me as I am in the process of eliminating the Classic
> environment and have ordered 4 MacBook Pros so we won't even have Outlook
> 2001 as an option.
