This update (specifically addressing exchange compatibility) is
disappointing to say the least. This "update" has less functionality than
Outlook 2001. My organization uses Exchange 2000 Service Pack 3 and with
this "release" we are still condemned to the use of Outlook 2001 for a Mac
client running OS X for everything else.
Microsoft Entourage X 10.1.4:
1. lacks the ability Windows Outlook has of retrieveing deleted messages
erased from the deleted items folder.
2. does not retrieve Calendar scheduling data properly, resulting in vague
Error messages.
3. does not allow the clients to make a change to their password.
4. does not allow clients to open Public Folders...Public Folders is a huge
resource in our organization. The public folder icon is present in the
mailbox, but with a padlock on it.
As administrator for almost 200 Macs in a corporate environment, I can't
overstate the dismay over this product. What changed between this and the
beta product we criticized for the same reasons.
