I have recently started to use Entourage (I'm a new mac user) at
work. We are on an Exchange server and I'm having problems with
folders syncing and locking up my mac periodically throughout the day.
When I first loaded Entourage, it sync'ed all of my folders and that
process took a while - I'm okay with that. Since then, I have turned
off the scheduled jobs that caused periodic sync's with all folders.
I also moved all of my old "sent items" messages to another folder -
this has helped since this folder was sync'ed everytime I sent a new
email and it had thousands of messages in it.
At this point, I'm still struggling with two remaining issues:
1. Every time I restart Entourage, it wants to sync all of my
folders. This process does not take as long as the first time, but it
does take at least 5 minutes. During the majority of that time,
Entourage is frequently displaying the spinning color wheel and I'm
not able to do much. It annoying that I have to wait every morning
before I can start using email.
2. Periodically through out the day, Entourage will sync what seems to
be random folders. I expect it to sync my inbox and any folder that I
move a message to, but it will occasionally sync other folders that I
have not touched.
In both cases above, I would have expected Entourage to sync
completely in the background. Its frustrating that the sync operation
has an impact on my work in the foreground (spinning color wheel pops
up and I can 't type or navigate for sometimes up to 30 seconds.)
Is there anyway to reduce or eliminate these "lockups"?
Thanks,
Ed Scott
