how can I change the picture size in an email which I compose?
It was so simple in Microsoft Outlook on Windows. Is there not such a
possibility with Entourage?

This option is not available in Entourage. Sorry!

Basics:

You can control which e-mail application iPhoto uses from the General tab of
the Preferences pane under the iPhoto menu. The icon of the selected
application will appear for Email in the tool bar at the bottom of the
iPhoto window.

Select the photo and click on the purple E to email the photo. A window pops
up allowing you to select size. Click "Compose". A new email will open in
Entourage with the photo attached.

In Entourage 2008, select the new Toolbox and click on the right icon,
Object Palette. Select the camera tab. This puts you into iPhoto. It does
not give any options to reduce photos. As a comparison, email from iPhoto on
medium produced an attachment of 56.98 KB. The same photo dragged in from
the Object Palette was 1.13 MB.

Other options:

Automator Workflow:
