Entourage work offline like Outlook?

Hello, can Entourage 2004 work offline in the same way as Outlook? We
have laptop users who have migrated to macs and would like their email
to send off automatically when have internet connection. Presumably I
set the server address as the OWA rather than local server address and
all should be fine? The users are using OS 10.4.10 and one is on
Leopard. Any advice much appreciated.

Depends on what you mean.

Messages saved to the Outbox will not send "automatically" when you acquire
an Internet connection, but you can create a Schedule (Tools > Schedules)
that periodically (Repeating Schedule) Sends All and check the "Only if
connected" box.

This will generally work well. You might have issues if your web connections
are through a proxy.

Hi Adam, I have tested sending emails using the settings you advised
in Schedules, but received an error notifying that Network Prefs were
not set for automatic connections. Can you advise what the settings
should be? Many thanks.
