Set-Up Microsoft Entourage 2004 With Your Graduate Center Email

Entourage 2004 (included in the Office 2004 suite), provides Outlook functionality in a Mac OS X-native application. When you have configured Entourage, you will be able to synchronize your Exchange calendar and address book as well as read and reply to email. To configure Entourage 2004 to access your Exchange account at The Graduate Center, follow the instructions below:

1. Open Entourage. You may see a window asking if you'd like to make Entourage your default email program. Click Make Default if you'd like to; otherwise click Cancel. If you have not created any previous accounts in Entourage, you will see the Entourage Setup Assistant. Close that window if you see it.

2. From the Entourage menu, select Account Settings... In the Accounts window, click the Exchange tab, and then click New.

3. In the Account Setup Assistant window, click Configure account manually.

4. In the Edit Account window, under the Account Settings tab, fill in the fields with the appropriate information:

  • Next to "Account name:", create a descriptive name (e.g., GC Exchange). This can be anything you like.
  • Next to "Name:", type your name as you would like it to appear in your outgoing email messages.
  • Next to "Email address:", type your GC email address.
  • Next to "Account ID:", type the username of the account you wish to log into. This is the name before "@gc.cuny.edu" in your email address.
  • Next to "Domain:", type acad.gc.cuny.edu
  • Next to "Password:", type the password for the account you wish to log into. This is your GC email password.
  • Check the box next to Save password in my Mac OS keychain if you would like to have your password remembered on your computer.
  • Next to "Exchange server:", type https://wa.gc.cuny.edu


5. You may wish to change other settings under the other tabs in Entourage as well. When you have finished making changes, click OK. Entourage will synchronize with your account on the Exchange server.

6. From the Entourage menu, select Preferences... .

7. On the left side of the Preferences window, select Calendar. On the right side of the window, from the pull-down menu next to "Default time zone for new events:", make sure that the time zone is set correctly. The correct time zone for most Indiana residents is Eastern Time (US & Canada). When you have finished setting any other preferences you wish to adjust, click OK.

Note: These initial synchronization steps may take several minutes, depending on how many folders, contacts, appointments, tasks, and messages you have stored in your account.

Importing Settings from a Previous Version of Entourage

If you were using a previous version of Entourage on your computer, you may import your old settings. Do not do this if you were using the previous version to access only your Exchange account. If you were accessing other accounts or had data saved locally to your computer, however, you should import your old settings, as follows:

1. From the File menu, select Import... .

2. Click the button next to Import information from a program, and then click the right-facing blue arrow.

3. Click the name of the program you would like to import from (e.g., Microsoft Entourage X or Microsoft Entourage 2001), and then click the right-facing blue arrow.

4. On the next page, uncheck any items you do not want to import, and then click the right-facing blue arrow.

5. If you have more than one Identity, select the one you want to import, and then click the right-facing blue arrow.

6. Click the Finish button when Entourage has finished importing your data.

Note: If you import data from a previous version of Entourage and already had it set up to access your Exchange account, Entourage may have redundant listings of your mail. You can delete these extra listings from the Accounts window.
