## Chapter 38 MS Entourage support

MS Entourage is a mail client for Mac OS X, supported by Kerio MailServer. This support uses the interface for MS Exchange in Entourage and it includes:

- support for groupware data such as mail, calendars, contacts and public folders,

- Free/Busy server for meetings management,

- connection of various LDAP databases for contact look-up,

- learning of the Bayesian filter by moving folders to Junk E-mail or INBOX (for detailed information, see chapter 13.1 Spam Rating tab).

Cooperation of Kerio MailServer with MS Entourage is supported directly. This means that no extension is required to be installed at client stations. It is only necessary to set correctly the basic parameters for an Exchange account.

For proper functionality of Microsoft Entourage, the following services must be running in Kerio MailServer:

- HTTP(S) — Kerio MailServer uses this service to communicate with the WebDAV interface and with the Free/Busy server.

- LDAP(S) — used for searching for contacts in the Kerio MailServer's LDAP database.

### Warning

In addition to configuration of the services on the server, it is also necessary to map corresponding ports on the firewall protecting the server. Otherwise, services will not be available from the Internet (for details, see section 2.3 Firewall configuration).

Kerio MailServer supports the following versions of the mail client:

- MS Entourage 2004 and MS Office 2004 for Mac SP2 — 11.3.3 for Mac OS X

- MS Entourage 2008 + MS Office 2008 for Mac SP1 — 12.1 for Mac OS X

MS Entourage must be installed on one of the following versions of Mac OS X:

- Mac OS X 10.3.9 Panther

- Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger

- Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

### Warning

Each user profile in MS Entourage can be used for an only Exchange account. Any other account will be dysfunctional. Functionality of POP3 and IMAP accounts is not affected by the account settings.

If any problem occurs regarding communication of Kerio MailServer and an Exchange account in MS Entourage, enable the WebDAV Server Requests option in the Debug log (to see where and how to enable the option, refer to chapter 25.9 Debug log). The corresponding log may help when solving any related problems.

Specific options and settings on client side are focused in the Kerio MailServer 6, User's Guide).
