If you are launching or setting up Entourage for the first time, you may see a window similar to the one pictured below. When you see the Entourage Setup Assistant, you may simply dismiss it by clicking on the red button in the upper left corner of the window as account configuration must be performed manually.
Click on the Tools > Accounts as shown to bring up the Accounts configuration window.
You will see four tabs, Mail, News, Directory Service and Exchange. Click on the Exchange tab and then click on the New button to begin configuring your Marquette email account.
The new window that should now be open will be titled Edit Account and the Account Settings tab should already be selected. If it is not, please select it now. Here is a list of items that you will need to enter in this window:
Account name: eMarq
Personal Information
Name: your real name
E-mail address: your e-mail address, formatted as firstname.lastname@marquette.edu
Server Information
Account ID: your eMarq username, generally your last name followed by first initial.
Domain: MARQNET
Password: your eMarq email password
Check the box to Save password if you wish for Entourage to remember your email password.
Exchange server: emarq.marquette.edu
Check the box next to This DAV service requires a secure connection (SSL)
Make sure Override default DAV port is NOT checked.
You may use the picture below as a guide:
Next, select the Options tab in the Edit Account window. Select Standard under the pulldown menu next to Default signature if you wish to have your signature automatically inserted in your messages. (You may edit your signature later by selecting Signature under the Tools menu once your account has been configured).
Click on the Advanced tab in the Edit Account window. Settings changed here will allow your Entourage calendar and contact data to properly synchronize with the Marquette email system. Change the following as pictured below:
Public Folder Settings
Public folders server: emarq.marquette.edu/public/
DAV service requires secure connection: CHECKED
Override default DAV port: UNCHECKED
Directory Settings LDAP server: adauth.mu.edu
This LDAP server requires a secure connection (SSL): UNCHECKED
Override default LDAP port: UNCHECKED Search base: LEAVE BLANK
When you are finished configuring Entourage, you may click on the OK button found in the lower right corner of the Edit Account window. The tabs for Delegate and Security should not be configured at this time and are only needed for advanced users of Entourage. For example, if you are a delegate for other accounts or wish to assign a delegate, you would be considered an advanced user.
Junk E-mail Protection
To turn on automatic Junk E-mail Protection, select the Tools menu and then Junk E-mail Protection...By default, Junk E-mail Protection is set to filter at the Low setting. This is generally a good place to start as higher settings may begin messages deemed legitimate to your Junk e-mail folder.
Optional Settings
You may wish to customize how Entourage looks and behaves. These options are packaged in two functional groups: General Preferences and Mail & News Preferences. Both groups of options are available from the Entourage > Preferences menu.There are several categories for General Preferences: General, Address Book, Calendar, Fonts, Spelling, Notification and Security. Mail & News Preferences contains categories for Read, Compose, Reply & Forward and View. Included in this document are a couple of settings that are popular among Entourage users which you may want to check immediately and explore the rest at your leisure.
Calendar Customization
Open Entourage > Preferences and select the Calendar option as shown below:
The option to note here is related to the deletion of old calendar events. Setting Entourage to Delete non-recurring events older than "X" days/weeks/months is generally a good idea as calendar items add to the amount of data stored in your email account. A common choice is 12 months.
Mail and Attachment format
Many times people using a Windows-based computer can't open the files you send as attachments. You typically need to add the proper file name extension to correct this problem. A file name extension is the three or four letters, preceded by a period (.), that appear at the end of file names. For example, Windows(R) Office files have names that end in ".xls," ".doc," or ".ppt." This extension tells a Windows-based computer what program to use to open the file. When you select the Append file name extensions check box, Entourage will automatically add the correct extension to the names of files you attach to messages. To make this change for compatibility, open Entourage Preferences and select the Compose option. Check the option to Append file name extensions as shown below:
Adding a signature
The use of an email signature can be a helpful way to let the recipient of your email message know who you are and how to contact you. To add a signature that will be appended to the end of your messages, click on the Tools menu and select Signatures from the list. In the Signatures window, highlight Standard and click on the Edit button to begin making changes to your signature.
The signature will contain two dashes by default. When creating your signature, it is advisable to keep it to only a few lines, but contain the most important contact information about yourself. A simple example is shown below. When you are finished editing your signature, you may simply close the editing and Signatures windows by clicking on the red button in the upper left corner of the window. If you are prompted to save any changes, accept the prompt to save.
