It may still be a problem with your server, notwithstanding the other
clients that work OK with it. Or it may be a problem with Entourage. The
only way to say for sure is to give more information like the name and
version of the server (also the server capabilities - right click on the
server name (not the INBOX) and choose Get Info), and maybe some analysis of
what operations Entourage is sending if you have a network analyser. (You do
- tcpdump - though it is tricky to use.)
What should the "get info window" say??? IMAP4REV1 is all that is mentioned
concerning server/imap versions. But again, there isn't much I can do about
my server. And as stated, Mail, Netscape7 works, and they are FREE. So I
would expect at least as good but Better is more like it. MS charges for an
inferior product???Hey haven't I seen this before?? And if you don't work
for them they're getting a good deal for your services. However I'm just
interested if Entourage WILL WORK AS EXPECTED. If one thinks no then that's
cool but don't tell me it's the server's fault. I would expect that MS would
build the application to have setting which can be adjusted for whatever
server's out there. When an individual is given an account at a university
or business they don't go and complain that their client works but the
server is not working as expected? That doesn't happen too often because
others use the client that WILL work and as far as I can tell "hothouse
flower" Entourage doesn't? Oh wait I'll tell my academic computing director
that MS is perfect and he'd better get his slack arse in there and fix the
freak'n server so it works well with MS's Entourage??? I don't know what
world you live in but I live in a world where people have been seeing this
stuff for years from MS. "Doesn't play well with others" kinda thing, Where
have you been? This is just another aggravating example evidently?
Are you using what MS call "Live Sync"? NO
I don't believe Paul does. Then you do?
Yes, Microsoft have seen servers misbehaving during testing.
Again it's like blaming the victim. MS, the richest computer related
business company on earth doesn't put enough resources into Entourage to
make it a completely usable program across the board. What's everybody
elses' problem??? Give me a break.
A less antagonistic approach from you might help, frankly. You don't
*deserve* a response from unpaid individuals on a newsgroup.
I've been posting to usenet for years. You don't tell someone who has a
problem with their app that it their problem unless you have an idea what it
might be. The 'your server is bad" isn't even close. It would be better to
have said..."I know your pain, Entourage is a piece of shit...it only works
if you kiss it's ass every five minutes."
Thank you, for saving me time. I'll go back to Mail.
