Configure Entourage
1. Launch Entourage and in the Setup Assistant, choose the appropriate option for your situation. We'll proceed as if you are not importing anything (which is the default choice).
3. Enter your e-mail address and click on the arrow to continue. (ACS is not an Exchange server.)
4. If you see a warning that "Automatic Configuration Failed" just ignore it and click on the arrow to proceed.
5. Complete the IMAP settings window as shown below, using Joe Schmoe as a sample person. You will need to provide your password, although you do not need to have saved it in the Keychain.
6. Click the right arrow and verify your settings.
7. Give the account a name (something like BU ACS) if you want to, then click on Finish. You can then decide if you do or don't want Entourage to be your default e-mail program.
8. Next, you need to go to Tools-Accounts. Select your new mail account and double-click on it. Go to the Account Settings area and look for the button toward the bottom that says "Click here for advanced sending options." Select that and configure it as shown below. Then close that window and click on OK.
9. You're all set now with the basics but feel free to modify your working enviroment to suit your needs, using the Entourage-Preferences menu.
10. You might also want to configure the LDAP Server using the Entourage-Account Settings menu. To do this, click on the Directory Service category and click on New. BU's ldap server is ldap.bu.edu. Enter that and then click on the right arrow button. The Account name for this could be something like BU LDAP SERVER. After you've entered the account name, click on Configure Account Manually and click on Options. The Search base is o=Boston University, c=US (and make sure o is the small letter o, not the number 0). Enter that information and click on OK.
About the Mail directory
If, after configuring your mail program and connecting to the server, you do not see any of your known/existing mail folders, set the Root folder path (a.k.a. the IMAP server directory) as Mail. This should not be an issue for any new accounts created after February 19, 2008, but could be an issue for those created prior to that date. To make that change, go to Tools-Accounts. Select your new mail account and double-click on it. Go to the Options area and put in your Root folder as "Mail" (no quotes) and click on OK.
