Entourage calendar and exchange do not sync

M

Mike Tuller

I just installed the Exchange update for Entourage, and can't get the
calendar to sync. I have items in my Entourage calendar and would like them
to go over to the exchange server, and then setup items in Outlooks calendar
and they do not show up in Entourage except for when I go into the folder
for my exchange account I can see a list of calendar events, and the one I
added in Outlook shows up. It doesn't however show up in the calendar in
Entourage.

I have deleted and recreated the account twice now, so the settings should
be correct. Has anyone been able to get it to work?

Me too-no idea why it¹s not working either. Glad I¹m not the only one, I
guess.

Same issue here, can't read the GAL. I was able to in the early beta but
not now
-----Original Message-----
I can't get it to work either. Also, I am getting a connection failure error
when trying to use the LDAP server (GAL) function. I've also had Entourage
crash a few times when trying to view the calendar. Sort of like it was
trying to sync, maybe, and couldn't so it crashed.

If you have Exchange 2000, then use the IP or DNS name of your Active
Directory in the Directory Services tool. This has allowed me to search the
GAL.

Is the another way you are trying to access the GAL? It doesn't seem to be
accessible through the Address Book.

In looking at this more, it looks like the problem might be that we do not
have Exchange 2000 with Service Pack 2. We are currently running Exchange
5.5. Fortunately our servers are being upgraded in the next week or so, so I
will see if everything works then.

I have this same problem (Exchange calendar events show up in the folder
list view, but don't appear on the Entourage calendar) but we're running
Exchange Server 2000 with Service Pack 3.

Hi,
I've got the same problem with the calendar and address GAL; I thought it
was perhaps because we do not have WebDAV turned on though with our server.

Guys. I have this exact same issue with my calendar showing up as a list...
BUT I don't know what you are talking about. I'm an end user with no support
for MAC products by our admin guys at corporate. They won't help me
configure my Entourage to work with exchange so I'm trying to do it myself.
Can you explain this in layman's terms.. Thanks so much

1. Go to Tools/Accounts/Exchange/the account/Edit/Advanced
Check "DAV service requires a secure connection (SSL)" under "Security".

2. Click on "Directory" tab of same "Edit Account" window.
Click "Click here for advanced options".
Check "This LDAP server requires a secure connection (SSL)"

Do I then have to do anything else?

Entourage made no attempt to do anything with my calendar?

Hi

I am one of half a dozen Mac users out of a staff of about 1400.

It is not reasonable for me to ask all these to change their settings to
suite me?????

If this is a true Exchange client it ought to support 'look and feel' with
its PC peers.

Entourage is not "a true Exchange client" as so many posters on this group
have pointed out; I don't think anyone claimed it was. If you want a more
robust Exchange experience, there are several other options listed here:

They don't have to change anything. If they send in RTF you'll still get the
mail but in plain text.

Outlook has traditionally been blind and insensitive to the rest of the
world, and has many protocols (such as its version of RTF and .vcs) which do
not follow internet protocols. Entourage has always followed internet
protocols, and thus has better interaction with all the non-MS apps out
there. Sooner or later Outlook will also comply. Don't expect Entourage to
start breaking protocols - it has to live in the big world, especially with
other Mac clients, and can't haughtily ignore the others like Outlook does.
Entourage is the good citizen, Outlook the bad citizen.

If you care about fancy formatting, ask your colleagues to please send you
HTML. otherwise, ignore it and use plaintext. If you originate HTML (which
you can set as default in Entourage/Mail & News Preferences/Compose and also
in /Reply & Forward, then not only will all your emails go out in HTML but
so will your colleagues' replies to you. Even if their first message arrives
as plain text, subsequent replies will be as HTML.

The one problem about their sending RTF is if they include attachments -
these will be wrapped up in a winmail.dat thing that needs TNEF's Enuf
(available at versiontracker) to open. They can easily mark you in their
Address Books as someone who gets plain text automatically (unfortunately
not HTML automatically) and then they never need to think about it again.

This is not different from MS Outlook from Office XP. Html makes all
the difference, and it has to be set up that way for Windows as well.
It's just a difference in default settings, that's all.

None of the options really work.

Its nothing fancy just sometime in a long email people use coloured text to
highlight THEIR comments within the body of the email.

I cannot ask them to do things differently, I have enough trouble justifying
keeping my Mac without giving the buggers ammunition. :)
