    Hip hip Hooray! Die, Entourage, Die!

    Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 is not only a great Mac release, it’s a great Office release. It seems that finally as much care has gone into creating Office for Mac as goes into Office for Windows.Despite the move to the cloud, many of us still use an office suite to do much of our work. Office for Mac 2011 is a great way to get more done on your Mac.

    This is an upgrade I’ll almost certainly make if for nothing other than the improved email client. Entourage is the lesser of several evils, in my opinion, and left a lot of room for improvement.

    I’m not thrilled with the lack of upgrade pricing, but the referenced review above isn’t the only one I’ve seen shine a positive light on this release. Also given the large improvement Office for Mac 2008 was over Office X, I feel relatively comfortable that Microsoft will deliver the goods.

    Entourage 2008 Exchange account stops receiving email but can send with no errors or incorrect account settings.

    Should you run across this issue, do not delete and rebuild the account – you stand to lose all locally stored information. Instead, try rebuilding the Inbox cache.

    • Right click (or control-click if you’re still a Mac user with a Mac mouse) the Inbox and select Folder Properties
    • Click empty

    The Inbox will now rebuild without loss of any locally stored information.

    There are some things I’ll always love about Macs – and then there are something I won’t and one of those things is Entourage. I’ve tried every Mac OS mail client out there and though currently using Entourage, I’m by no means happy with it – but, that’s another story…
