Entourage Browser is a simple and intuitive application, which will help you to perform some basic operations in Microsoft Entourage, such as saving attachments to your disk, preview its Contents without opening the whole message or backup your selected folders.
These are some features of Entourage Browser:
• You can preview and delete your messages without opening them.
• You can save attachments to your disk on-the-fly.
• You can backup manually or programatically selected folders using several formats.
• Entourage Browser supports POP, iMap and Hotmail accounts.
Entourage Browser is designed to be as simple as possible, so you don't waste time learning to use the app. When you first open EB, you'll see two columns: your folders and messages within such folders. Below, some buttons whose titles are self-explaining.
At the folders column, you will see a number (internal ID of the folder) and its name. When such folder is a IMAP or Hotline folder, you'll see an extra (I) or (H).
If you make new folders or delete them, or switch the current identity, you can "reload" the folder structure at any time.
Also, you can switch the identity withouth the need to switch to Microsoft Entourage (folder structure will be reloaded automatically).
When you click one of your folders, you will see its contents in the rigth column. Please, NOTE that creating the list of messages and its properties can take a LONG time if the amount of messages is very BIG. My tests in a iMac G4 700 MHz throw these results: 11 minutes to display 7850 messages. If you really need some of EB's message-preview functions, please, wait.
Tip: if you only need backup such BIG folder (and you don't want waste time creating the preview), you can click any SMALL folder, then add the BIG one to the selection, using command+click.
Anyway, before starting the Process of the backup, it will take some time retrieving the entire list of messages, so, please, patience and don't panic!
