according to MS developers, a server based groupware solution based onto "iCal" standards used by Entourage is technical possible ... and not available yet and there are no promises for any future MS products. Entourage (in contrast of Outlook Client Mac) is meant to be a pure RFC conformant client, therefore don't expect E. to connect to Exchange provided calendars unless Exchange makes them fully accessible via iCal. (for the interested reader -- there seem to be iCal based calendaring open source projects in development at sourceforge) > Oh, and how do people integrate Entourage with Exchange�s Directory?

Without E�rage choking when presented with about > five thousand �Contacts�? :-) Well, if Exchange or Active Directory share their databases via LDAP, there should be no major problem -- either ask your admin or give some details ... btw, why do you want to import five thousand Contacts if you have an LDAP server available? Eventually E'rage doesn't permit to do so because working from a local contact database is likely to spoil corporate goals? ;-) You've done a lot of bashing (IMHO because not getting the distinction between E'rage and Outlook Client right), but you missed a major and valid point -- the missing ability of E'rage to write to an LDAP database. Even the (now fortunately almost forgotten) Netscape 4.x clients did provide that feature (because Netscape naturally was developed with Netscape Messaging Server -- open standards based -- in mind). Therefore -- though I appreciate the RFC-only approach very much -- I suspect MS to some degree avoids to make E'rage a suitable client for any corporate messaging/groupware solution. Of cause, they state E'rage is targeted mainly to private/power users and admittedly they didn't fail in any way to address that target. just my 0.02 cent, mixed up with a couple of complaints suitable to direct E'rages evolution according to my personal needs ... -Thomas -- Thomas Schierle, Munich, Germany PGP key [DSS/DH] 0xA23CDA1D available at various public key servers -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
