Outlook for Mac
Is there likely to be a new version of Outlook (Entourage?) for Mac anytime soon? I'm sick of Eudora - its served me well but I'd really like to make things uniform between my workplace (Outlook on PC) and home. If I had an Intel G5 I'd be tempted to just install XP on it and BootCamp it... Thoughts? Cheers, Antony. -- == == = = Antony N.

Re: Outlook for Mac
G'Day Antony! We are thankfully welcoming and arriving the new coming of Office 2008 in the last quarter of this year which will bundle all new Office apps for Macs in Universal Binary including Entourage! About time as well since a lot of places especially where I work have massive trouble. We connect to Exchange servers and Entourage is rubbish in regards to that in either incarnation of X or 2004. Outlook Express for Classic was great but it's gone, they better improve it greatly! Also since none of us have seen or used Office 2008 can't detail how similar it will be too Outlook 2003 or 2007 on PC. Entourage is vastly different and even more rubbish! Maybe stick with Eudora for now until Office 2008 or you could try switch to Mail or Thunderbird as alternative options. Are you locked into Outlook at work?

Then hope they get the Eudora look and feel for Thunderbird out real soon before Thunderbird annoys you too much. Leopard's Mail should be much improved, I believe. Maybe Apple will release it for Windows as part of their embrace and extend strategy :) Have fun, Shay (currently using Thunderbird) -- === Shay Telfer Perth, Western Australia Technomancer The love of liberty is the love Opinions for hire [POQ] of others; the love of power is http://public.xdi.org/=Shayfnord the love of ourselves - Hazlitt -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Outlook for Mac
Antony, I've been using Entourage as part of MS Office 2004 in my office for the last year or so ... It works fine. Most standard workgroup function e.g. I can arrange meetings, sync calendars (to my iCal at home) using .Mac and a local copy of iCal. Entourage doesn't play nice with Outlook forms, but everything else is pretty straighforward, provided you're happy you turn a blind eye to the kludgy way it handles contacts management, and the flaky Entourage database file structure. It's _far_ better than the OS9 Outlook client, which used to drive me up the wall.

Outlook for Mac - was: Exporting/Converting Pages Doc to CMYK
Entourage (any version) won't play nice with Exchange Server 5.5, which many IT departments still use. You can't set up an Exchange account via the 'Exchange' profile, but you can set up an account via SMTP. It's a little ugly, and doesn't have any of the calendar functionality of Outlook 2001 though. Interestingly, Apple's Mail app does support Exchange 5.5 Servers for well, mail (no calendar stuff). Personally, I use a combo of Mail.app for E-mail, and run Outlook 2001 for Calendaring functionality - at least until my IT department installs Exchange 2003. :) T. on 7/8/05 11:48 PM, Martin Hill at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm also surprised you still need to run the old Outlook 2001 under Classic. We run Entourage 11.1.0 (part of Microsoft Office 10.4) at Curtin which supports Exchange's Global Address book (via LDAP) for address look-up within the To: field as well as shared calendars etc. It doesn't have all the capabilities of Outlook 2003 on the PC, but it's a pretty good replacement for the old Outlook 2001 on the Mac.
