We use IMAP email at the office. There are emails that I can not delete from
my inbox. I don¹t want to rebuild the database because I lost a lot last
time I did this.
That's strange. Are they specific e-mails? Go to Tools > Accounts, open
your IMAP account, and click the "Advanced" tab. Try changing your deletion
method, and see if that helps.
It's possible that Entourage and your server aren't communicating properly.
What IMAP server are you using? If you don't know, find out:
1. Go to Tools > Accounts, and open your IMAP account.
2. Copy down the name of your IMAP server.
3. click the "Advanced Receiving Options" button and write down the port #.
4. Open Terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal)
5. Type in
telnet your.imap.server 143
(Replace your.imap.server with the IMAP server in your account settings, and
143 with a different port number if necessary.)
Also, when I send a message to myself it comes in as junk,
even though I am in my address book. Any ideas?
The contact identified as the "Me" contact isn't considered to be legitimate
mail automatically by the Junk Mail Filter like the rest of your contacts,
mainly because spammers will sometimes use the destination address as the
sending address to try to foil some filters. You can force Entourage to
mark mail with your own address as legitimate mail by duplicating your "Me"
contact in the address book.
