New Items
| My Day | A separate application from Entourage that let's you quickly view calendar events and manage your To Do List. | | Out of Office Assistant | Available to those using an Exchange server (all ECU staff/faculty accounts). Go to Tools>Out of Office Manager. | | Customizable Toolbars | Change the toolbar by adding or removing tools you use or don't use. Just go to the View>Customize toolbar... menu. | | Favorites bar | A strip located just under the toolbar to hold your favorite shortcuts. | | To Do List | New user interface | | Spotlight Search | This is available but not recommended on older machines. It can cause the beach ball of death or sluggish typing in messages. | Sync Services (mobile phones/PDAs) Entourage no longer includes a conduit so everything goes through Sync Services. This allows users to synchronize through iSync. A list of compatible mobile phones can be found here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/index.html If you have a Palm, you'll have to use a third party application like The Missing Sync. ITCS doesn't support this product at this time. What is synchronized with the server? | Messages | Folders and subfolders once every minute. There is no way to change this setting and its done once every minute. | | Rules | No. What you create on the computer stays there. You cannot change or create new Exchange Server-based rules with Entourage. | | Address Book | Yes with the exception of groups. | | Calendar | Yes.
| Notes
| No. | Categories
| No. Assigning any text or color will not be viewable in Piratemail. | | Tasks | No.
| To Do Flags
| Yes, along with due dates, start dates, reminder dates and completion dates. | For those using Windows and Outlook on a Mac, please note there are some small differences between the Outlook and Entourage.
| Contacts | Entourage can store up to 13 different email addresses for a single contact. Outlook can only 3 different addresses. Result: Outlook will sync the default address, email 2 and email 3 but discard the rest. If you have more than 3 email addresses for someone in Entourage, you may lose them when opening Outlook. | Mailing Addresses in Contacts
| Outlook can have an "other" mailing address but Entourage doesn't have a matching field for this. Result: When synchronized, Entourage displays "other" as the "work" address. If you edit Entourage's "work" field and re-sync, the address label in Outlook changes to "business". | Children's names
| Entourage can store up to 10 names for each contact. Outlook can store more. Result: Do not edit the contact in Entourage or all but the first 10 names will be deleted when Entourage syncs. | | Calendar | Travel time specified in Entourage isn't displayed in Outlook. So 15 min travel time for a 1 hr appointment shows only 1 hr, not the 15 additional min. | |  |
