Sent Mail folder

[John Wolf]

I am using Gmail and really wish that I could make my Entourage sent mail
not be saved to my IMAP folder but to my local folder, and once done make it
a snap to access. In Account Settings--account--advanced I am able to do
this BUT its a pain in the tail to see my sent mail folder and I always need
to click on the folders on my computer and click on the sent mail folder.
This is a pain because in Outlook 2003 for Windows I can create a favorite
and make it easier to view my sent mail folder stored on my local PC. In
other words in Outlook I have a hierarchy and both my inbox and sent mail
folders are right next to each other. When I wish to view messages that I
have sent, I click on the folder and a second later see the messages. With
Entourage 2004 things are slower and more complex.

Anyway to do something similar on the Mac? Perhaps the Outlook people know
of a way, I am not sure.

Entourage 2008 has a favorites bar. You could drag the Sent folder from
folders "On My Computer" to the favorites bar.

But not 2004?

I hear Entourage 2008 is slower on a Intel Mac under SL than 2004.

Entourage 2008 should be faster since it doesn't require rosetta to run.

That's not what I heard from a Mac tech who claimed that 2008 is slower on a
intel Mac over 2004.

No, Office 2008 will be faster on an Intel Mac because it is a universal
binary, which means it has code to run natively on Intel.

From reports I read shortly after Office 2008 was released, it is about
25% faster on Intel overall.

Thank you sir! I want to upgrade, but maybe I should wait.

At this point I'd wait until you begin hearing announcements about
Office 2011.

For Office 2008, Microsoft offered free upgrades for purchasing Office
2004 shortly before release, but you had to redeem the offers within a
certain amount of time.

They may or may not do this again, but we won't know until later this year.

Strange why I did not know of this. How can I find out?

Nothing's been offered yet, but I'm sure Microsoft would be announcing
specials a little before they release Office 2011. You'll just have to
keep your eyes open and I suggest subscribing to their blog as well
