Importing back up copies of email

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Intel
When I import back-up copies of my email to a new computer, dozens of the old messages show today's date, not the original date they were sent or received. Not all old messages have the dates messed up. This happens when exporting and then later importing backed-up email as .rge or MBOX format. How can I correct this?

This tells me the rebuild was corrupted. When the database utility does a
rebuild, it makes a copy. Sometimes when the copy and new is being made they
are merged making a pile of corruption.
Unless you have a copy of your database before you tried to rebuild or an

You should be able to click on the columns now to sort. AFAIK this view is
the same in 04 and 08. I sent you a screenshot off list.

worked at an Exchange house I put my business events on my Exchange

Re: SSO, AD and Exchange via Entourage

Thanks for the info Bill,
Good to know the environment already supports kerberos. However in my situation, Mac clients are connecting internally to the OWA server, they are never routed externally. Through some tricks with split DNS zones, we are able to have the same address point to one address internally, and another routable address externally. In our situation, clients, even when connecting to the OWA server from inside the network (which happens to also be the HUB and CAS server), do still have full access to a properly configured domain controller and DNS server. We've taken great strides to configure our DNS so that clients are never routed out and back in the network, so no firewall comes into play in this situation. Also, the OS itself seems to have no problem pulling the kerberos ticket, so I'd assume DNS is functioning properly in our environment. With all that in mind, is it possible to leave Entourage pointed to the HUB/CAS/OWA server while connected internally and still have it use kerberos to authenticate? Or am I just spinning my wheels? It may seem like splitting hairs, but Exchange 2007 is designed so that clients communicate directly to the CAS (Client Access Server). This gives them one standard place to connect to, and the server than handles the redirection to their particular mailbox server. In a large environment like mine, it comes in extremely handy having only one place to point all clients to. It makes administering the back end much easier, and helps cut down on the confusion for our help desk.

As Adam has already mentioned, the hyperlinks are created by the e-mail
application on the receiving end; in this particular case, Entourage turns
the URL into an active hyperlink. There is absolutely nothing you can do to
control this behaviour.

The provider (the company I support) does not want him using pop3 for access to his mailbox. Their corporate policy is that all email must remain on the server, and when he was using pop3, he was downloading the email and deleting it from the server. They made him start using the Exchange account to keep this from happening.

Kinda defeats the purpose of having an Exchange account. He should
check with his provider to see if they allow POP access to the Exchange
server.

I have a user who has used Entourage for his pop3/IMAP accounts for a long time. Recently he was upgraded to the 2008 full version of Entourage, and now gets email via Exchange as well.
He does not like changing between the Exchange and OMC (on my computer) mailboxes, so he created a rule forwarding all emails from his exchange account to his OMC inbox.

How to stop Entourage from sending old emails when rebuilding database?

2009-07-06T19:20:36Z

A couple of times I've noticed Entourage 2004 do the following: when I
rebuild the database, it sends a handful of old emails without warning me.
People reply thinking I've lost my mind and the worst part is that I can't
tell who it sent to! Any way to prevent this?

This can happen if you have a very large number of items to sync,
especially in the inbox. Can you leave it overnight to finish the
process unmolested? You may also want to consider resetting the cache
and letting it do a new sync once.
