Messages + Contacts Not Visible on Mac

[automandc]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: intel
Email Client: Exchange

I have scoured the web on this and found only one similar report (http://www.mackb.com/Uwe/Forum.aspx...08-Exchange-03-sync-calendar-but-not-messages).

I am using Entourage 2008 for the first time. I am inside the corporate firewall, and have tried connecting directly to the mail server and to the OWA server.

When Entourage synchs, it appears to go through all the motions -- it recognizes subfolders in the exchange account, it even shows my calendar entries. I can do LDAP lookups, and even set user permissions on exchange folders (the changes were confirmed in OL2007). However, all of the contact and mail folders remain empty no matter how many times it syncs.

I created a folder on Entourage and it showed up in OL2003 (under parallels). A post to that folder from Entourage also showed up on OL2007, but as soon as I had read it in OL, it no longer appeared in Entourage after the next sync.

I have:
Made sure that "Show Only Unread" and "Show Only Flagged" are NOT checked.

Made sure there are no client-side rules or mailing list managements

Tried both direct to the backend and to the OWA server

Flushed/Rebuilt/deleted the local identity.

Etc.

I think we are running Exchange 2003, but I am not positive.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone? I would really appreciate any advice on things I could try. Is there a particular patch to Exchange 2003 that might be relevant?

Make a new message and put Exchange in the subject. Place the name at the
first part of the message so it does not get truncated when showing in the
message list. This might get the attention of those that are scanning the
lists to answer in their specialty.

Most people that volunteer on this list do not use the Mactopia forums. The
Mactopia forum is just an interface to a newsgroup. I use the Entourage
newsreader even though as a newsreader it is very basic. Most use more
advanced newsreaders.

If you can do email, then you can use the Entourage newsreader.

Another benefit is messages downloaded are searchable by Entourage's
Spotlight search. By clicking on the "more" button you can get older
messages to search for help.
