Entourage 2008 - Sharing Calendars

L

Laurent

The Help menu in Entourage 2008 seems to be outdated, so hopefully someone can help me figure out how to share and view other people's calendars? Please do not tell me to go to File, Open Other User's Folder since the 'Open Other User's Folder' option does not appear under the File menu, or anywhere for that matter. Please help!!!

Do you have an Exchange account set up? That option is only available
with Exchange accounts.

Hi Bill - Yes, I am on a MS Exchange Server, and have the version of Mac Office 08 that includes the ability to be connected to Exchange. My colleagues are still able to schedule meetings on my calendar, I just can't figure out how to view their calendars and all of the instructions in the Help function appear to be old, maybe for Entourage 2004, since the options that they direct you to under the different menus do not exist. For example, under File, there is no Open Other User's Folder or Folder Options choices.
Let me know if you have any thoughts.

Hi Laurent!

That option is available in the correct version of Entourage 2008. Can
you please verify for me what you're using by selecting Entourage -->
About Entourage? Specifically, include the numbers in parentheses.

Also, can you please check that you have a "Mail(Exchange)" tab under
Tools --> Rules...?

Bill - Thanks for the reply.
OK, I am using Entourage: Mac 2008, Version 12.0.0 (071130)
And yes, there is a 'Mail(Exchange)' tab under tools/Rules, but nothing appears there.
I'm not sure this matters, but I do know that I am connected to my exchange server by an IMAP connection.
Any thoughts?

Hi Laurent!

That explains everything. If you're connecting using IMAP then you do
*not* have an Exchange account set up. Exchange Server supports IMAP but
that doesn't make your Entourage account an Exchange account.

Have a look at these instructions for setting up your account as an
Exchange account:

"Connecting Entourage to an Exchange Server at work"

Hope this helps!
