Here are four general tips to ease your work with Entourage X.

  1. To speed up Entourage: Under the "Entourage" menu, turn off "Office Notifications".

  2. To stop bouncing Entourage icon in Dock: Go to General Preferences -> Notification -> When Mail Arrives and uncheck the "Animate" icon.

  3. To get more space for mail folders: The amount of room on the left side of Mail window is minimal; to increase it, go to General Preferences -> General, and then check "Display small navigation buttons".

  4. To successfully send email attachments: This works for nearly all email clients on nearly all platforms; select Mail and News Preferences -> Compose -> Attachments -> Encode for, and then choose "Windows (MIME/Base64)".
Tip #4 is the same for Outlook Express. Microsoft email clients on the Mac have problems sending attachments to Microsoft Windows computers. The preference setting to fix this is misleading, because "Any Computer" doesn't work for any computer. It's been like this for years. Stupidity on Microsoft's part, or are they deliberately trying to make Macs look bad? The truth is out there...
