Synchronising Entourage on two computers

W

Will Mowat

Hello. I keep swapping between an iMac and iBook. Is there a way of
synchronising (is that the correct term?) Entourage so I'm always using the
latest set of messages, etc, whichever computer I'm using? Entourage doesn't
save messages as separate items, only as a block, so I can't pick and choose
which messages to transfer. Thanx.

There is no easy way to just backup latest messages.

Entourage stores as a database. You will need to copy over the database each
time you switch.

Options for just messages received is to select leave messages on server.
This way you can download to each computer before deleting.

Then you are left with ways of dealing with messages you send, addresses
added tasks, calendar events and notes that are created. There are some
scripts that can aid this process, but a lot depends on how often you switch
and your needs.

Have you considered IMAP?
