Setup Assistant

The first time you open the Entourage application, you must create a new identity. This will automatically launch the Entourage Setup Assistant. You can use the setup assistance to customize Entourage and the Entourage features that you want to use. For example, you can import contacts from your computer’s Address Book application to Entourage. Additionally, the setup assistant allows you to select the domain controller, global catalog server, active directory and Exchange mailbox server that you want to use with the application.
Mailbox Synchronization and Public Folders

After closing the Setup Assistant, Entourage will automatically use the selected configurations to carry out functions on your computer. Entourage uses the Internet Information Server to connect to your mailbox. This Exchange server can communicate with front and back end mailbox servers. This allows Entourage’s email client to send and receive email messages from multiple email accounts linked to the Entourage application.
