Entourage was replaced by Outlook for Macintosh in Microsoft Office for Mac 2. October 2. 6, 2. 01. Kmail And Microsoft Exchange Server' title='Kmail And Microsoft Exchange Server' />OvervieweditEntourage provided email, calendar, address book, task list, note list, and project manager functionality. With Entourage 2. Microsoft began offering a Project Center, which allowed the user to create and organize projects. Information may come from within Entourage or outside the program. Entourage supported retrieving email using POP, IMAP,3 and for Microsoft Exchange servers Web. DAV. 4Entourage 2. My Day utility, which assists in organizing ones day, and cites in the welcome message improvements to search speed, to do flags, improved junk mail and phishing protection, as well as quick navigation via favorites and customizable toolbars. FeatureseditEntourage supported some Mac OS technologies, like the Spotlight search engine and Apple. Script however, the use of a monolithic database made it difficult to back up incrementally with Time Machine. Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager from Microsoft, available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Although often used mainly as an email. Entourage also maintained a separate address book, but allowed synchronization of contacts and calendar events through Sync Services. Comparison to OutlookeditUnlike the other applications in the Mac version of the Microsoft Office suite, Entourage did not share a name with its Microsoft Windows counterpart. Microsoft claimed that Entourage was intended to address an entirely different audience. Entourage had its origins in Outlook Express 5 on the Mac, as well as Claris Emailer7 and contained no ported code, and no Office code. Nevertheless, Microsoft has positioned Entourage as a similar product for Macintosh customers on Exchange servers. As a client for Microsoft ExchangeeditEntourage had included support for Microsoft Exchange servers since August 4, 2. Exchange Update for Entourage X was released. This early release required the use of IMAP for mail connectivity and Web. DAV for address and calendar functionality. Subsequent versions have dropped the requirement for IMAP and rely solely on Web. DAV. Users complained of the lack of a variety of functions present in Outlook for Windows and Outlook 2. Subsequent versions of Entourage added some of the missing functionality. However, full parity with Outlook as an Exchange client was never available in Entourage 2. Synchronization of tasks and notes with an Exchange server was not available. Many Exchange users have been vocal1. Microsofts omission of these features. Outlook and a number of other email clients now feature autodiscovery of mail server settings and it bugs me that I dont have this set up for our domains, but Im. Microsoft Office OutlookWindowsMicrosoft Office. The Bottom Line. Microsoft Office Outlook shines as an email client with great talent for organizing virtual folders, fast search, solid spam and phishing filters. Microsoft claimed to have prioritized reliability over expanded Exchange support in Entourage 2. One major shortcoming of Entourage was its inability to handle complex HTML. While messages could be received and viewed correctly, they could not be forwarded without all formatting being stripped out. As an example, an airline confirmation received from, say, Imaginary Airlines, could not be forwarded without all of the pictorial information being reduced to links, rendering the e mail unreadable. A workaround for this was to choose Forward as attachment which forwarded the message as a messagerfc. HTML formatting. An additional limitation was the inability to attach what is referred to as an Item in Outlook to a message while it was being composed since there was no menu choice to allow this. Instead, a user needed to find the item to be forwarded, i. Contact, select it, then choose Forward as v. Card from the menu. It was also not possible to create or manage server side rules on the Exchange server, so filtering only worked when the Entourage application was running. LimitationseditEntourage could not natively read Outlook Personal Folder files and could not read Outlook archived emails without first re importing them back into the main Windows Outlook database. As a result, it was impossible to directly transfer email data from Outlook Windows into Entourage Mac. Although Microsoft had released a PST Import Tool for Entourage,1. Windows to Mac, because this utility coidual files, rather than in a single database such as. Entourage database. Macworld indicates that Windows Outlook messages can be transferred to Apple Mail or Entourage by using Mozilla Thunderbird as an intermediate agent. Thunderbird on Windows is used to import the mail from Outlook. Then the converted mail file is moved from the Windows Thunderbird directory to the Mac and the import feature is used on Mac Mail or Entourage. However, message attachments will be lost in the conversion to Thunderbird. Commercial third party software e. Emailchemy1. 8 is available to facilitate the transfer of Outlook data to Entourage. But those using the mbox format will not be able to respect any subfolder hierarchy since the mbox format doesnt support it. Other alternative solutions include synchronizing to an i. Pod Touch or i. Phone through i. Tunes using Apple Mobile. Me service using an IMAP enabled email provider using a Microsoft Exchange server. Version historyeditSee alsoeditReferenceseditMicrosoft Office 2.
