Hello-

My office wants to go to outlook to keep everyone's calendars and
schedules together and so on.
I am the only mac user and I have no idea what to do. Will entourage
integrate with their outlook?
Can they send and receive meetings and see my schedule and vice versa?
If not what can I do?

Thank you for your help!

If they are switching to Exchange Server, which is usually accessed by the
Outlook client on Windows machine, then you can use Microsoft Entourage to
connect to the Exchange Server and collaborate with other users.

Hi Staci!

Yes, if you're planning to use an Exchange Server. Outlook, Entourage
and other E-mail clients never interact with each other. They connect to
accounts on servers. Any server will allow you to send mail and calendar
appointments but you need an Exchange Server to be able to share mail
folders or check other users' free/busy schedules.

Have a look here <http://entourage.mvps.org/exchange/exchangeatwork.html>.

Entourage does not support all the features of Outlook for Windows when
connecting to Exchange but you can do most of the basic features.

Hope this helps!

ENtourage works very well with Outlook, and the Exchange Server.
However, hopefully, your IT department is using at least Exchange
Server 2003. When I installed Office Mac 2004 and entered my Outlook
account, it loaded up on my Mac sync'ing email, calendar, and
contacts. I've also setup some user Outlook folders setup virtually on
my Dell PC that came over as well. However, user folders that are
setup physically on the PC will not come over. I hope you know what I
mean. I can easily setup and invite PC Outlook users to meetings. We
setup conference room reservations on our Outlook and I can access and
schedule these when I schedule meetings as well. Shared calendars came
across as well. However, Tasks will not sync across to Entourage.
