Entourage and Mail.app

samergeissah · 2nd August 2008, 22:28

Hi guys,
I have a few questions. I hope someone can help me with them...
First off, the only reason I use Entourage is that I can connect to my company's super secure (no IMAP, POP3...etc) using the exchange address: https://webmail.XX.ae
That works fine for almost everything except company directory (which I manually import almost every month).
I would prefer to use Mail.app.
1) Is there a way to configure Mail.app (even through some third party add on) to fully work like entourage using (https://mail.XX.ae) as the address for exchange.
2) Is there a way to connect to my company's active directory? What to I need for that?
3) I get a lot of mail which I file month by month (incoming and outgoing). The .mbox files become very big and eat up my hard disk space. Is there a quick way to drop them off on a external usb HD and have entourage connect to them automatically whenever the disk is attached. Any other way to manage those files? I need to access them quit often.

Appreciate someone with experience guiding me here.
Thanks

Use a Gmail account for backup. Set GMail up a IMAP account then you can just drag emails over to it.

You really only need to ask in one place. What are the problems you're having?
