Project Center

E

Errol Maxwell

I have used the old Entourage for some time. Was really excited to
hear that 2004 had the Project Center feature. However, I might be
wrong, but it looks like a project can watch a certain folder of email
in Entourage but does watch any subfolders.

Please tell me that I am wrong but it looks like Project Watch focuses
on emails in a specified folder and none of its subfolders. This
seems strange as when keeping an eye on external files, it does seem
to include subfolders.

For example, I may have a folder called "Moving House", it would be
natural to create subfolders for emails received to do with things
such as "Lawyers", "Removal firm", "Banking" etc.

It looks like Project Center will only focus on "Moving House" and
will not associate any email that I drop into "Lawyers" when it is
showing you the emails in the Project Center view.

I have many subfolders that relate to one overall project. I would be
grateful to anyone who can give me a tip on how to overcome this.

By rules. You can keep your various folders and subfolders. The same rules,
wit the same criteria, which assign messages to various individual folders
can all also "Set project" to the particular project they're all part of. If
you ever move messages manually to one of these folders from the Inbox, say,
just assign the project yourself before you drag the message.

Using the watch folder is just one way of getting an e-mail to belong to a
project.

You can associate e-mails with the project by assigning contacts to the
project. Any e-mail from a project contact will be part of the project
regardless of the folder it's in. Another way is to use mailing rules. Maybe
you are using rules to get your "Moving house" e-mails into the proper
folder? If so, you can add an action to those rules, named "Set project".
