I would hope some of the folks at MS MBU are on this list and will take note to update Entourage to change it from HTTP connection to Exchange Server back to MAPI connection; sort of the best of Outlook 2001 for the Mac. The problems with Entourage connecting to the Exchange server now as well as making one database file for the Exchange server account cache and the "Folders on my Computer" seems it should be a higher priority of MBU to give Entourage, rather than Word or Excel or PowerPoint, an update worthy of Office 2008.

Perhaps it makes sense, then, that Microsoft has to date spent the bulk of its Office 2008 Preview devoted to Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, with little focus given to the Mac-only Entourage. Or, coming at it from a different angle, one could say it makes sense because so little has changed in Entourage, at least as of the beta Think Secret used. Entourage has a more polished, Leopard-friendly interface, but underneath that luster it's virtually identical to the version that shipped in Office 2004. The Email, Address Book, Notes, and Tasks portions have seen virtually no change. Even the application's preferences are largely untouched, while the Project Manager remains a poor man's Microsoft Project and of marginal use for any projects that require heavy collaboration. -- Thanks - RevDave Cool @ hosting4days . com [db-lists] -- 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/> -- 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/>
