You're correct. Entourage 2008 assumes you will be using your domain account name and password. > So firstly can someone confirm that I am not insane and this is what happens > by design, and secondly, is there a workaround that I can use to get this > working, either in some configuration or plist file? You're perfectly sane and, yes, you can do this another way. First, just leave this field blank in your Exchange account in Entourage. Second, go to Tools --> Accounts... and click on the Directory Service tab. You can set up a different LDAP account there. The only downside that I can foresee is that I don't believe this setup will have the same ability as the LDAP setup in an Exchange account for browsing the GAL. (You can still search, of course.) I could be wrong about this because I've never had to have a separate LDAP account with an Exchange account. > All other aspects of E2K8 work fine, although I can't believe we are still > waiting for native MAPI support Don't hold your breath. In fact, better exhale now. The MAPI protocol was de-emphasized in Exchange Server 2007 along with the WebDAV protocol used by Entourage. That means that both protocols are slated to go away (possibly in the next version of Exchange Server after 2007, maybe a later version). Development of these two protocols effectively ceased with Exchange Server 2007. Microsoft is encouraging all future development to be done against the new Web Services protocol instead. Hope this helps! -- bill Entourage Help Page <http://entourage.mvps.org/> Entourage Help Blog <http://blog.entourage.mvps.org/> YouTalk <http://nine.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/youtalk> Twitter: follow meck -- 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/>
