Use AppleScript to synchronize Entourage mail
Now, when exactly would you need do you do this? I run Entourage on both my work machine and my PowerBook and have never encountered an instance that would create such a problem that required this solution (nor a set up like this).

The problem on my machines is, once you've launched Entourage (it is in my login items), the Database Daemon starts and keeps ~Documents/Microsoft User Data/Main Identity/Database open, even if you've quit Entourage. When you attempt to replace the file with a newer version you get an error stating the file couldn't be replaced because it is in use. I learned that you can turn off "Office Notifications" but then, I have all events and appointments in my Entourage calendar, some of them having a reminder set. So need the Database Daemon to run. Unless I'm syncing my Database files, that is.

Another reason to really copy the whole Microsoft Identity folder (mine is about 36 MB) between the two machines: I aloways have a pretty recent backup of my mail, addresses and events.

I do the same thing (the pain of using a pop client). This also does give me a great backup (I do this with iTunes and iPhoto as well). I use the Synchronize Pro app, which doesn't seem to require this whole shutdown thing...

The Database Daemon is there when you use Synchronize! Pro as long as you don't explicitly turn Office notifications OFF. |
