Interesting Leopard Behavior

H

Hal

I'm running Leopard 10.5 and Entourage 11.3.6 on two different computers.
One is a wired desktop, where Entourage is almost always running. The other
is a wireless laptop, where I rarely use Entourage.

Since the upgrade to Leopard, Entourage will spontaneously start on the
laptop when a it senses a new inbound email message. Is there a setting in
10.5 that controls this behavior or does it just fall into the category of
weird stuff?

Hi Hal!

That's kind of a catch-22. Entourage must be running to receive a new
message. Something else must be happening.

Is Entourage running but you mean to say that it comes to the front of
the screen? That's a preference found in Entourage menu --> Preferences
--> Notification --> Bring application to front.

Or do you have a third part utility that works with Entourage that may
be launching it on a regular basis?

JR, that seems likely -- my wife often closes windows without quitting. That
of course is one of the big differences between Mac OS X and Windows. In
Windows, closing an applications last open window stops the application. In
Mac OS X, it may or may not, depending on the app.

BTW, the Quit command is in the application menu (e.g., the Entourage menu
in Entourage, Word menu in Word, etc.) in Mac OS X. It was in the File menus
in earlier versions of Mac OS.

If she just wants the window to be out of sight, she could use the Hide
command (command-H). Otherwise she should Quit (command-Q).
