Public Folders Not there

My company has a shared public calendar that I can't figure how to access in entourage. Following the directions here <http://tinyurl.com/6bl6hu> it would seem to be a no brainer thing to do. Problem is I don't have public folders in the list. It's just not there. I was able to add another users calendar but I had to put in their name and email address to find it. Also just because it may, or may not, be relevant I do get an error about not being to make a secure connection whenever entourage starts. It doesn't seem to affect anything though.

Hi,

To access public folders in Entourage you have to provide the public folder
server settings in Entourage.

Open the account settings in Entourage, you can do it by clicking Entourage
on the top and then account settings.
Now Open your exchange account
Go to the Advance tab and provide the public folder server settings. you can
provide the same settings what you have in the Exchange Server feild with
/public
Now close your accounts window and try to access your public folders

As far as the certificate message goes, you need to install the certificate
on your Mac machine. Follow http://support.microsoft.com/kb/887413/en-us
and this will help you in installing certificate on Mac machine.

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much. That solved my initial question however since you responded to the part about the certificate I might as well bring it up here because it's not getting any response in the other thread I started about it. The directions you sent don't talk about 10.5 but regardless I am pretty sure I installed the certificate. I first added the x509 keychain, not installed by default in leopard, then went to the exchange servers certificate server and downloaded a certificate. Once I had it I added to my login keychain, the x509 keychain, and the system keychain. It's definitely there but neither messenger nor entourage seems to acknowledge it. Not sure what to try next.

Oh yah and although I know have the public folders and I can view the shared calendar it's empty on the mac and not on the PC.

Never mind it being empty. Got it going. Now the cert thing.
Click to expand...

What did you do to get it going? My office just got a bunch of new
Macs for us and we can see our Public Folders and Shared Calendars
(for conference rooms, etc.). I can see all the messages in Public
Folders, and each calendar in Shared Calendars. But each of the Shared
Calendars is completely blank -- it looks like it is never receiving
the data from the server (message in the statusbar says contacting
server, candycanes for awhile, then quits). Checking through OWA, the
calendars are there and unchanged.

Any ideas? It looks like I have the public folders set up just fine
(Entourage 2008, btw), but is it something wrong with my config? Or
the server setup? (Macs are new in our office, and our Exchange
servers are notoriously locked down so they don't support IMAP or
ActiveSync, etc.)

Thanks,
Shawn

The only thing I did was wait. It took maybe 30 minutes but everything eventually showed up. Once I could see the public folders I no longer needed to do anything but wait.

I do not use an exchange server, but 2 IMAPs (CS + .MAC), 1 POP (gmail) and 1 WEB Mail (Hotmail).
MAC OS 10.5.5 and Entourage 2008 (Version 12.1.4 (081024).
1) Keep getting in my system log - Microsoft Entourage: Warning: accessing obsolete X509Anchors.

I done this:
A) Added X509Anchors in Keychain
B) Added a certificate
C) Deleted all accounts and re-installed
D) Followed all recommendations for here and on other forums

The command recommended - sudo certtool i root_certificate.cer v k=/System/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors - results in error message: The keychain you are accessing, X509Anchors, is no longer
used by Mac OS X as the system root certificate store.

Further when under accounts settings I try to select a certificate under Digital Signing the response is: Entourage did not find any valid certificates on the MAC OS key chain.

Any ideas?????

I am connecting via an exchange server not imap. I didn't know you could do the public folders stuff via imap.
