Newbie problems.

I've set up my address book and send and receive schedule, and
that's all working. But three things that WERE working originally have
ceased to work. I can only assume that I have done something to
un-select them, but I'm darned if I can figure out what that is.

The things are this:

#1- When I'm in the Mail component, the window has buttons across
the top of it that say "New," then a bunch of symbols, then "send &
receive," "move" and "categories." Not the toolbar at the very top of
the screen -- just at the top of the mail window. Now, I SHOULD be able
to use those buttons to manage my mail -- compose new, send, etc. And I
could earlier today. But no longer -- nothing happens when I pull down
their menus and make a selection. Instead, I have to go to the toolbar
at the top of the screen and get into "file" or "message" to do those
tasks. Keystroke shortcuts also work.

#2 -- My address book won't suggest addresses as I begin to address
e-mails. Again, it did earlier today and now won't -- I have to select
the address.

#3 -- The Entourage icon isn't animating to show me I have new mail.
Again, earlier today it was.

Does anything occur to you that might explain these mysteries?

I very much appreciate any help.

Replying to my own message -- I still don't understand what happened,
but on a hunch I re-started my computer and the glitches were gone. Oh
-- all but the Entourage icon not bouncing when I have mail. That still
doesn't work.

There's a checkbox for "animate icon" when new mail arrives in Entourage |
Preferences | Notifications. Try that.
