This is a very useful white paper that is designed to help Mac admins in Exchange environments. I wrote a lot of the original content (including the table, and the flow chart diagrams.)
In Entourage 2004, we made incredible improvements to the Account AutoConfigure, but incase it doesn't work in your Exchange environment, this pdf has more information on how to set it up manually
Speaking of which, so for e-mail, Entourage 2004 supports POP3, IMAP, Exchange, and Hotmail. If you don't know what Exchange is, you likely don't need to worry about it. Entourage 2004 has a nifty feature that I designed that I call Account AutoConfigure. We redesigned Entourage so for a majority of the time, all you have to do is enter your e-mail address, and Entourage will automatically configure the right IMAP/POP/SMTP server information - so that you don't need to know what it is. For example, try
someone@earthlink.net or
someone@mac.com!
It just works automagically! This is really useful because most people don't know their IMAP/POP/SMTP server, or they get very confused between them.
And here's a Bonus Tip for the day - If you're a RDC user (Remote Desktop Connection), and you want to connect to multiple machines simultaneously - there is a way to do it. Just make a copy of the application! Yep. That's it! You can have multiple copies of the RDC app running at the same time. Pretty neat!
