Not ideal, but I switched over to ical, mail and address book from
entourage and everything seems to be working great. I would like to
be able to migrate back to entourage in the near future though. I
find it's functionality and user interface easier (probably from
years of PC use).
Please get the entourage issues worked out ASAP.
Thanks,
Ray
