Entourage X Calendar info and proxy settings

S

Steve Gualandri

I am running Entourage X 10.1.4 (030702) on Mac OS X 10.3.2 Panther.

I am connected to our exchange server at work through the ethernet
port (no VPN).
If I receive an email which contains html, I must go to Network
Settings in System Preferences and turn on the http proxy in order to
view the email. If I do not turn on the proxy I do not see any html
in the received email.

With just a proxy for http and https (no proxies for any other
service), my email works fine. My calendar, however, does not. I am
unable to view people's free/busy (scheduling) data. The error
message says that "Scheduling data could not be found" - "Check your
Entourage Exchange settings and try again."

I have found that if I do not enable the http and https proxies
explicitly but I enable the Automatic Proxy Configuration and give a
path to a .pac file, my calendar information works. I am able to see
other people's scheduling data. However, I am no longer able to view
html in my email messages.

In Entourage Mail and News preferences I do not have any proxies
explicitly enabled (no proxy for web, mail, or secure). These
settings work for me if I
turn on the http and https proxy settings in Network settings.

Here is the quick summary.

Network Settings
1) automatic proxy configuration only
no http, https proxy enabled
-> calendar shows me other peoples scheduling data
-> not html in email

2) http, https proxy set in Network settings
-> no schedule information for other people
-> can see html in email

3) automatic proxy settings - on
http, https proxy - on
-> no schedule information for other people
-> can see html in email

Any ideas on how to configure my proxies so that I see html in my
email and so
that my calendar still allows me to see other people's scheduling
data.

Have you tried entering your company's domain in the "Bypass" area of your
proxy settings? It seems like you can have the http and https proxies
enabled, but bypass them for the machines on your local intranet (including
your Exchange server) and everything will work.
