I believe I've asked about this before, but haven't resolved the issues. I have discovered a few more things and tried some things that DIDN'T help, so I thought I'd bring this up again.
Usually I read my mail at home on my dual 1 GHz "mirrored doors" G4. However, I try to keep my Entourage identity up to date on my PowerBook G4 400 MHz as well. Sometimes, after I use Synchronize Pro X 2.0 to synchronize the two computers (the folder I synchronize contains aliases to the "Main Identity" folders on the two computers, as well as aliases to several other key files; e.g, my Quicken datafile (which turns out to be a package, not a file), and my Web Confidential passwords file), I won't be able to read new mail in Entourage from the dual 1 GHz G4 because the retrieval of mail hangs with the beachball spinning. If the PowerBook is networked, a "connect to server" dialog pops up as Entourage tries to retrieve the mail, with the PowerBook's hard drive selected. Once I log in and mount the PowerBook's drive on my dual 1 GHz's desktop, the rest of the mail retrieval session proceeds normally. Curiously, if the two Macs AREN'T networked, the desktop Mac can EVENTUALLY retrieve all the mail from the POP server (it seems to do it in increments of about 5 messages, one group every 5 minutes or so). I don't have any automatic sessions scheduled. The other curiosity is that I don't recall seeing this problem occur on the PowerBook when IT isn't connected to the desktop machine. If, after synchronizing, I retrieve some new mail to the Main Identity database on the PowerBook, then synchronize AGAIN, I can disconnect the two machines and conduct additional mail retrieval sessions from the desktop Mac. I've tried repairing permissions on both computers before and after synchronizations. This doesn't help. Both machines are running Jaguar 10.2.3, but the problem began at least as far back as 10.1.5 Any idea what's going on?
