  • Microsoft Entourage 2008

In the four years since the last major version of Microsoft Office, Entourage has probably come under more attack from Apple’s applications than any other member of the Office suite. OS X’s Mail, Address Book, and iCal have all come to offer credible alternatives to Entourage’s core features. So how does Entourage 2008 stand up to Apple’s triumvirate? Pretty well, especially for users working in a corporate environment who use an Exchange server for their e-mail and calendar needs. For the rest of us—overall—Entourage is still superior to Apple’s offerings. Entourage maintains its advantage because it has built a strong feature set over the years, especially in e-mail. But Entourage 2008 offers few exciting new features, leaving the program vulnerable to Apple’s next onslaught.

Welcome facelift

Entourage finally looks like a native Mac application. Entourage 2008 was rewritten as a Universal Binary, running equally well on Macs based on Intel and PowerPC chips. (For me, the Universal conversion also solved Entourage 2004’s annoying tendency to bog down on Intel Macs.) Part of that transition included a revised user interface, which makes the program easier to use. Gone is the odd, non-standard toolbar; in its place is a familiar-looking Apple-style toolbar, which can be set to show icons, small icons, icons and text, or just text buttons. You can now add and subtract items from the toolbar, at long last bringing toolbar customization to Entourage, a feature the other applications in the Office suite have had for a decade.

Right underneath the main toolbar you’ll find the new Favorites Bar, which allows you to add shortcuts to items in the Folder List, so you can get to them with a single click. This makes it a snap to jump to the Inbox, one of your saved mail searches, or the new To Do List.

Mail call

Entourage is first and foremost a heavy-duty e-mail program, and its e-mail features have been refined, but for the most part not overhauled. You’ll still find excellent tools that help you organize your e-mail flood, such as the Mailing List Manager and fine-grained Rules that, in my opinion, ace Mail’s similar feature.

Some features have new locations or work differently. For example, there’s a Search field in the main toolbar that performs a Spotlight search on your mail, replacing the previous Advanced Search dialog. As in any Spotlight search, you can add multiple criteria to your search, and restrict its scope—to particular mail folders, in Entourage’s case. You can save searches to the Folder List or the Favorites Bar. Spotlight integration also makes searching through your e-mail much faster than it is in Entourage 2004.

The junk mail filter, which in Entourage 2004 became hopelessly out of date and useless, has been updated; when it was set to the High option, I found that it actually worked well, catching almost all junk mail. Microsoft has promised more frequent filter updates to keep up with the spamming arms race. Time will tell if, as in the past, Entourage 2008 falls behind and users need to again resort to extra spam-fighting help like C-Command’s excellent SpamSieve (). One minor but welcome change: when you select and delete mail from the Junk e-mail folder, Entourage deletes it forever, rather than just moving it to the Deleted Items folder as in the 2004 version, where you would have to delete it again. A new anti-phishing feature automatically blocks a long list of potentially malevolent file attachments, such as scripts and executable programs, and alerts you to suspicious links in e-mail that may lead to a fraudulent Web site.

There are several other new or improved features relating to e-mail or calendaring, but they apply only to users in corporate environments that connect to a Microsoft Exchange server. (For more on those features, see Entourage 2008 and Microsoft Exchange.) Given that it’s been four long years in the making, it’s a missed opportunity that Entourage 2008 hasn’t also added some of the best new features found in Mail, such as automatic detection of physical addresses and dates, or e-mail stationery templates. While I find Mail’s templates cartoonish, the concept of stationery is valuable. Presumably Microsoft’s business-oriented user base would inspire a more tasteful implementation of them.

For all users, the calendar looks better, benefiting from the overall user interface overhaul. My favorite new calendar feature is small but useful: you can now set the mini-month to appear in all parts of the program, even mail. This is perfect for quick reference when working with a mail message, and a single click on a date jumps you there in your calendar. Other Entourage modules, such as Address Book, Notes, Tasks, and Project Center, remain largely unchanged. It’s disappointing that Projects, in particular, haven’t improved, as they could use some obvious enhancements, such as better sharing of projects in a workgroup.

Check your day

The new My Day companion application gives you a view into your Entourage data even when the program isn’t running, displaying your upcoming calendar events and To Do items, which can include flagged e-mail messages. It’s nice to get a quick look at your schedule, but My Day is limited to viewing events, creating new Tasks, and marking To Dos as complete. My Day is okay as far as it goes, but it isn’t enough; you can’t create new events with it, and if you need detailed information about an event or need to change it, you must open Entourage anyway.

Because I want to get my e-mail throughout the day, I just keep Entourage running all the time, and I can always put it in one of Leopard’s Spaces to keep it out of the way when I’m doing something else. If Entourage is running, then I don’t really need My Day.

Better database

A fairly common complaint from longtime Entourage users is that the program’s database was fragile and prone to corruption, requiring all-too-regular use of the included Database Utility to repair and rebuild it. Microsoft says it has done extensive work to make the database more reliable, reducing the need to rebuild. Over the course of two months, working with both the beta and the final shipping version, I experienced no database problems. As a test, I rebuilt the database anyway, and noticed an improvement over a similar rebuild in Entourage 2004: the rebuild no longer loses synchronized data such as e-mail in remote IMAP, Exchange, or Hotmail folders, or the links between items inside Entourage.

Entourage uses a single database file to store its information, and that file can become quite large over time. When Apple released Spotlight, Microsoft created a workaround so Spotlight could index and search Entourage’s e-mail messages: it replicates each message as a small text file in your User Library folder. But there’s no such workaround for Leopard’s Time Machine backup facility. If you receive even a single e-mail, the whole database is marked as new, and Time Machine will back the entire thing up every hour. If you’re short of backup disk space, you might consider excluding ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2008 Identities/ from your Time Machine backup, and regularly backing up that directory using another method.

Plays (mostly) well with others

When it comes to supporting typical Mac OS X technologies, Entourage is still ahead of the rest of its Office stablemates. Though all of the programs have the useful Services submenu in their application menus, it is active only in Entourage. And though all of the Office programs support AppleScript, Entourage has by far the most complete implementation. As a new feature in the regular and Special Media Editions (but not in the lowest-cost Home and Student Edition), Entourage provides eight sample workflows for Automator, letting you do things like create a zip archive for a group of messages, or print selected messages. Unfortunately, you can’t yet run these workflows from the program’s Script menu under Leopard; they work fine under Tiger. Microsoft says it is working to fix this.

Entourage works reasonably well with OS X’s Sync Services, allowing you to synchronize your Entourage contacts with Apple’s Address Book, and the Entourage calendar and tasks with iCal. You can also sync these and Entourage’s Notes with .Mac. Then you can use .Mac, iSync, or third-party synchronization software to transfer your data to and from other Macs or mobile devices such as smartphones. And of course, this shared data can also be used by iTunes to synchronize with iPods and iPhones.

My complaint about Entourage’s calendar sharing with iCal is that Entourage assumes that it will be your head calendar honcho. When you first synchronize Entourage with Sync Services, it creates an Entourage calendar in iCal, replicating your Entourage events in iCal. If you add or change events in that Entourage calendar in iCal or on a mobile device, those events will be synchronized back to Entourage’s internal calendar. But there’s no way to bring events from other iCal calendars (such as the default Home, Work, or Birthdays calendars) into Entourage’s internal calendar. Put another way, Entourage can publish data to iCal, but can’t subscribe to any of iCal’s other calendars. In effect, Entourage uses iCal as a convenient conduit to synchronize its data to other devices, but doesn’t treat iCal as a full calendaring partner.

Rough edges

I discovered a few minor bugs, some in all of the Office 2008 applications, and some particular to Entourage. All of the programs seem to occasionally miss clicks on their windows, and fail to bring the window to the front. You can usually work around this by switching to the program using the Dock, then choosing Window: Bring All To Front. In Entourage specifically, a couple of times I saw a message window fail to redraw correctly when resized, and some of the Mail Rules I’d been using in Entourage 2004 didn’t work until I opened and resaved them in the new version. Microsoft acknowledged the latter bug and is working on a fix.

Macworld’s buying advice

The programs that come with Mac OS X, especially in their Leopard incarnations, can easily satisfy people with lighter e-mail, contact, and scheduling needs. For Microsoft’s corporate customers, Entourage 2008 is an improved Exchange citizen over previous versions, which will help Macs better fit into Windows-centric organizations. Finally, if you’re outside of the corporate realm, and need a mail, calendar, and contact manager with lots of headroom and solid integration with the rest of the Office suite, Entourage provides a wealth of features that are deeper than Apple’s trio.

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager from Microsoft, available as a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Although often used mainly as an email application, it also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager, note taking, journal, and web browsing.

It can be used as a stand-alone application, or can work with Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft SharePoint Server for multiple users in an organization, such as shared mailboxes and calendars, Exchange public folders, SharePoint lists, and meeting schedules. Microsoft has also released mobile applications for most mobile platforms, including iOS and Android. Developers can also create their own custom software that works with Outlook and Office components using Microsoft Visual Studio.[6] In addition, Windows Phone devices can synchronize almost all Outlook data to Outlook Mobile.

Outlook 2019[edit]

Macintosh[edit]

Microsoft also released several versions of Outlook for classic Mac OS, though it was only for use with Exchange servers. It was not provided as a component of Microsoft Office for Mac, but instead made available to users from administrators or by download. The final version was Outlook for Mac 2001, which was fairly similar to Outlook 2000 and 2002 apart from being exclusively for Exchange users.

Microsoft Entourage was introduced as an Outlook-like application for Mac OS in Office 2001, but it lacked Exchange connectivity. Partial support for Exchange server became available natively in Mac OS X with Entourage 2004 Service Pack 2. Entourage is not directly equivalent to Outlook in terms of design or operation; rather, it is a distinct application which has several overlapping features including Exchange client capabilities. Somewhat improved Exchange support was added in Entourage 2008 Web Services Edition.

Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011

Entourage was replaced by Outlook for Mac 2011, which features greater compatibility and parity with Outlook for Windows than Entourage offered. It is the first native version of Outlook for macOS.

Outlook 2011 initially supported Mac OS X's Sync Services only for contacts, not events, tasks or notes. It also does not have a Project Manager equivalent to that in Entourage.[28] With Service Pack 1 (v 14.1.0), published on April 12, 2011, Outlook can now sync calendar, notes and tasks with Exchange 2007 and Exchange 2010.

On October 31, 2014, Microsoft released Outlook for Mac (v15.3 build 141024) with Office 365 (a software as a service licensing program that makes Office programs available as soon as they are developed). Outlook for Mac 15.3 improves upon its predecessors with:[29]

  • Better performance and reliability as a result of a new threading model and database improvements.
  • A new modern user interface with improved scrolling and agility when switching between Ribbon tabs.
  • Online archive support for searching Exchange (online or on-premises) archived mail.
  • Master Category List support and enhancements delivering access to category lists (name and color) and sync between Mac, Microsoft Windows and OWA clients.
  • Office 365 push email support for real-time email delivery.
  • Faster first-run and email download experience with improved Exchange Web Services syncing.[29]

iOS and Android[edit]

Outlook for phones and tablets[edit]

In January 2015, Microsoft released Outlook for phones and for tablets (v1.3 build) with Office 365.[30]This was the first Outlook for these platforms with email, calendar, and contacts.

Internet standards compliance[edit]

HTML rendering[edit]

Outlook 2007 was the first Outlook to switch from Internet Explorer rendering engine to Microsoft Word 2007's. This means HTML and CSS items not handled by Word are no longer supported. On the other hand, HTML messages composed in Word look as they appeared to the author.[31] This affects publishing newsletters and reports, because they frequently use intricate HTML and CSS to form their layout. For example, forms can no longer be embedded in email.

Support of CSS properties and HTML attributes[edit]

Outlook for Windows has very limited CSS support compared to various other e-mail clients. Neither CSS1 (1996) nor CSS2 (1998) specifications are fully implemented and many CSS properties can only to be used with certain HTML elements for the desired effect.[32] Some HTML attributes help achieve proper rendering of e-mails in Outlook, but most of these attributes are already deprecated in the HTML 4.0 specifications (1997).[33] In order to achieve the best compatibility with Outlook, most HTML e-mails are created using multiple boxed tables, as the table element and its sub-elements support the width and height property in Outlook. No improvements have been made towards a more standards-compliant email client since the release of Outlook 2007.[34]

Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format[edit]

Outlook and Exchange Server internally handle messages, appointments and items as objects in a data model which is derived from the old proprietary Microsoft Mail system, the Rich Text Format from Microsoft Word and the complex OLE general data model.[35] When these programs interface with other protocols such as the various Internet and X.400 protocols, they try to map this internal model onto those protocols in a way that can be reversed if the ultimate recipient is also running Outlook or Exchange.[36]

This focus on the possibility that emails and other items will ultimately be converted back to Microsoft Mail format is so extreme that if Outlook/Exchange cannot figure out a way to encode the complete data in the standard format, it simply encodes the entire message/item in a proprietary binary format called Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF) and sends this as an attached file (usually named 'winmail.dat') to an otherwise incomplete rendering of the mail/item. If the recipient is Outlook/Exchange it can simply discard the incomplete outer message and use the encapsulated data directly, but if the recipient is any other program, the message received will be incomplete because the data in the TNEF attachment will be of little use without the Microsoft software for which it was created.[36] As a workaround, numerous tools for (partially) decoding TNEF files exist.[37]

Calendar compatibility[edit]

Outlook does not fully support data and syncing specifications for calendaring and contacts, such as iCalendar, CalDAV, SyncML, and vCard 3.0. Outlook 2007 claims to be fully iCalendar compliant; however, it does not support all core objects, such as VTODO or VJOURNAL.[38] Also, Outlook supports vCard 2.1 and does not support multiple contacts in the vCard format as a single file. Outlook has also been criticized for having proprietary 'Outlook extensions' to these Internet standards.

Security concerns[edit]

As part of its Trustworthy Computing initiative, Microsoft took corrective steps to fix Outlook's reputation in Office Outlook 2003. Among the most publicized security features are that Office Outlook 2003 does not automatically load images in HTML emails or permit opening executable attachments by default, and includes a built-in Junk Mail filter.[39] Service Pack 2 has augmented these features and adds an anti-phishing filter.[40]

Outlook add-ins[edit]

Outlook add-ins are small helping programs for the Microsoft Outlook application. The main purpose of the add-ins is to add new functional capabilities into Microsoft Outlook and automate some routine operations. The term also refers to programs where the main function is to work on Outlook files, such as synchronization or backup utilities. Outlook add-ins may be developed in Microsoft Visual Studio or third-party tools such as Add-in Express. Outlook add-ins are not supported in Outlook Web App.

From Outlook 97 on, Exchange Client Extensions are supported in Outlook. Outlook 2000 and later support specific COM components called Outlook AddIns. The exact supported features (such as .NET components) for later generations were extended with each release.

SalesforceIQ Inbox for Outlook[edit]

In March 2016, Salesforce announced that its relationship intelligence platform, SalesforceIQ, would be able to seamlessly integrate with Outlook.[41] SalesforceIQ works from inside the Outlook inbox providing data from CRM, email and customer social profiles. It also provides recommendations within the inbox on various aspects like meeting scheduling, contacts, responses etc.

Hotmail Connector[edit]

Hotmail Connector setup screen

Microsoft Outlook Hotmail Connector (formerly Microsoft Office Outlook Connector), is a discontinued and defunct free add-in for Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007 and 2010, intended to integrate Outlook.com (formerly Hotmail) into Microsoft Outlook. It uses DeltaSync, a proprietary Microsoft communications protocol that Hotmail formerly used.[42]

In version 12, access to tasks and notes and online synchronization with MSN Calendar is only available to MSN subscribers of paid premium accounts. Version 12.1, released in December 2008 as an optional upgrade, uses Windows Live Calendar instead of the former MSN Calendar. This meant that calendar features became free for all users, except for tasks synchronization which became unavailable. In April 2008, version 12.1 became a required upgrade to continue using the service as part of a migration from MSN Calendar to Windows Live Calendar.[43]

Microsoft Outlook 2013 and later have intrinsic support for accessing Outlook.com and its calendar over the Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) protocol,[44] while older versions of Microsoft Outlook can read and synchronize Outlook.com emails over the IMAP protocol.[45]

Social Connector[edit]

Outlook Social Connector was a free add-in for Microsoft Outlook 2003 and 2007 by Microsoft that allowed integration of social networks such as Facebook, Linkedin and Windows Live Messenger into Microsoft Outlook.[46] It was first introduced in November 18, 2009.[47] Starting with Microsoft Office 2010, Outlook Social Connector is an integral part of Outlook.[48]

CardDAV and CalDAV Connector[edit]

Since Microsoft Outlook does not support CalDAV and CardDAV protocol along the way, various third-party software vendors developed Outlook add-ins to enable users synchronizing with CalDAV and CardDAV servers. CalConnect has a list[49] of software that enable users to synchronize their calendars with CalDAV servers/contacts with CardDAV servers.

Importing from other email clients[edit]

Traditionally, Outlook supported importing messages from Outlook Express and Lotus Notes. In addition, Microsoft Outlook supports POP3 and IMAP protocols, enabling users to import mails from servers that support these protocols, such as Gmail or Rackspace Email. Microsoft Hotmail Connector add-in (described above) helps importing email from Hotmail accounts. Outlook 2013 later integrated the functionality of this add-in and added the ability to import email (as well as calendar) through Exchange ActiveSync protocol.[44]

There are some ways to get the emails from Thunderbird; the first is to use a tool[50] that can convert a Thunderbird folder to a format that can be imported from Outlook Express. This method must be processed folder by folder. The other method is to use a couple of free tools that keep the original folder structure.[51] If Exchange is available, an easier method is to connect the old mail client (Thunderbird) to Exchange using IMAP, and upload the original mail from the client to the Exchange account.
