10.1 Basic account settings
The settings differ according to what version of MS Entourage is used. For this reason, the
settings will be described in two parts. First, setting of MS Entourage version X will be focused.
Second, version 2004 with Service Pack 2 and Entourage 2008 will be focused.
Version X and newer versions of MS Entourage use different methods of accessing the server
data. In MS Entourage X, messages are downloaded from server using the IMAP protocol and
calendars with contacts are synchronized using WebDAV interface (Web Distributed Authoring
and Versioning). MS Entourage 2004 and higher uses WebDAV interface for downloading and
sending of email messages as well.
Other differences are shown in table 10.1.

The differences in the Exchange settings are as follows:
MS Entourage X
Entourage X is configured according to the fact whether it is installed for the first time or the
application has already been used and a new email account is just being created.
The Entourage Setup Assistant is started upon a successful installation of the application (or
when a new profile is to be created). The wizard requires basic user information and it is
necessary to follow it up to step seven. In step seven, it is possible to say that the email account
will be set later (I will set up my e-mail account later). The configuration is not standard so
that the account must be set by hand. Therefore, close the wizard at this stage.
The following section provides instructions for both those who are setting MS Entourage im-
mediately after the installation and for those who have used MS Entourage for some time:
1. In the Tools menu, select Accounts.
2. The Accounts dialog which is divided into four tabs will be opened. Switch to the Exchange
tab
