Nevertheless, Microsoft has positioned Entourage as a "similar" product for Macintosh customers on Exchange servers. Entourage had its origins in Outlook Express 5 on the Mac, as well as Claris Emailer and contained "no ported code, and no Office code". Microsoft claimed that Entourage was intended "to address an entirely different audience". Unlike the other applications in the Mac version of the Microsoft Office suite, Entourage did not share a name with its Microsoft Windows counterpart. Entourage also maintained a separate address book, but allowed synchronization of contacts and calendar events through Sync Services. Įntourage 2008 featured a new "My Day" utility, which assists in organizing one's day, and cites (in the welcome message) improvements to search speed, "to do" flags, improved junk mail and phishing protection, as well as quick navigation via favorites and customizable toolbars.Įntourage supported some Mac OS technologies, like the Spotlight search engine and AppleScript however, the use of a monolithic database made it difficult to back up incrementally with Time Machine. Entourage supported retrieving email using POP, IMAP, and (for Microsoft Exchange servers) WebDAV.
Information may come from within Entourage or outside the program. With Entourage 2004, Microsoft began offering a Project Center, which allowed the user to create and organize projects.
Entourage provided email, calendar, address book, task list, note list, and project manager functionality.
