How to Disable or Uninstall Entourage?

I am experiencing calendar conflicts between iCal and Entourage. Although I previously used Entourage, now iCal is my primary calendar and iMail is my primary email client. Therefore I only use WORD and PP from the Office suite but not Entourage, I would like to disable or uninstall Entourage to prevent further conflicts. How can this be done?

Thanks.

Open Entourage and select Preferences under "Entourage" in the Menu bar.
Select Sync Services and uncheck all options. Quit Entourage. I don't
suggest removing as it could create a problem updating in the future. It
takes up very little space.

Thanks, I already did that. The problem is, more specifically, that when new meeting or appointment requests come in via email and I try to put them into iCal, they automatically want to go to Entourage instead - even if they are from Mac users using iCal! So I drag the ics icon to iCal and it places itself in Entourage calendar instead! I even received a meeting confirmation from the Apple store that went directly to Entourage instead of iCal. So Entourage is behaving like a default calendar. Any way to stop this?

Drag the iCal attachment to your Desktop and then select File --> Get
Info. Set iCal to be the application to open these files instead of
Entourage.

Hope this helps!

Did you set Mail as default email application too?
