Outlook:Mac and Entourage:Mac Integration with Exchange Server
Mac users who want an Exchange-aware mail client from Microsoft have depended on Entourage or Microsoft Web Access. Following the release of Office for Mac 2011, Microsoft has replaced the Entourage client with Outlook 2011. Progent's macOS and OS X technology experts and Microsoft-certified Exchange Server consultants can assist you to support a legacy Entourage system, plan and carry out an efficient migration to Microsoft's current platform, and enhance your Exchange Server deployment to improve the performance, availability, protection, collaboration support, and general business impact of your email, messaging, and conferencing ecosystem.
Microsoft Office Outlook for Mac, part of Office 365 for Mac, takes the place of Microsoft Entourage and has been re-architected to provide substantial enhancements in the areas of email creation and management, scheduling, backup and restoration, search, Windows coexistence, collaboration, speed, voice and video conferencing, voice mail, mobility, IM, and rich presence. The Outlook for Mac database for email messages, contacts, and calendars is now stored in separate text files, making them simpler to control. Outlook for Mac is also directly Spotlight searchable and able to be backed up and recovered with Apple Time Machine. Configuring accounts has been simplified so you can quickly add either Exchange-based accounts or accounts from popular email services.
Progent's Mac integration experts and Microsoft premier support professionals can assist you to upgrade from the discontinued Entourage email client for Microsoft Exchange Server so your Mac users can team with colleagues who run Outlook client. Microsoft Entourage enabled you ro use your Exchange account to send and receive your email, search your Exchange global address list, synchronize your calendar and contact list, and invite colleagues to meetings. Entourage was designed to work with AppleScript as well as Apple's Spotlight search utility. Progent can assist you to integrate a secure and dependable messaging solution that replaces Entourage for Mac with an up-to-date email client that can access your Exchange Server.
Most of the extensive capabilities of Exchange are available to Mac, Apple iPhone, and iPad users running any full-featured browser by utilizing the Outlook Web App (formerly called Outlook Web Access). Outlook Web App allows macOS, OS X and Apple iOS users to access email, voice messages, IM, and test via Apple Safari and other popular web browsers. Advanced features of Outlook Web App include conversation grouping for enhanced thread management, extended web browser compatibility, MailTips to help guard against dangerous or unsuitable email transmissions, an unlimited size single-page message folder to eliminate the time and delays related to advancing through messages manually, a nickname buffer to streamline email addressing, advanced filtering and search, calendar sharing, new presence indicators inside contact lists, client-based IM, ActiveSync integration for SMS text messages, and customizable favorites filters (such as unread messages) for fast access to task-relevant information.
