2019-10-2 Microsoft Entourage was an e-mail client and personal information manager developed by Microsoft for Mac OS 8.5 and higher. Microsoft first released Entourage in October 2000 as part of the Microsoft Office 2001 office suite; Office 98, the previous version of Microsoft Office for Mac OS included Outlook Express 5.The last version was Entourage: Mac 2008, part of Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac. Apr 06, 2015 For more information about this update, please visit the Microsoft Web site. Applies to: Office 2011, Office 2011 Home and Business Edition, Word 2011, Excel 2011, PowerPoint 2011, Outlook 2011, Office for Mac Standard 2011 Edition, Microsoft Office for Mac Home & Student 2011, and Microsoft Office for Mac Academic 2011. Nov 16, 2010 We just downloaded the new Office 2011 for mac, and testet with the new Outlook, but the problem is still the same and we also tryed with the Mac Mail program, same result. Now im thinking that this must be a Exchange setting, that strips down the e-mail in some way. The problem is not present on all my Windows PCs with Outlook 2003/2007/2010. Apr 21, 2011 Wondered if anyone else has seen this behaviour. We have close to 200 Entourage 2008 Web Services Edition and Outlook 2011 for Mac clients and despite configuring them (either using autodiscover or manually) with a load balanced host name (i.e. Owa.company.com), when on the internal network, at some point they automatically change the server connection setting to make a direct connection with.

Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 is a version of the Microsoft Officeproductivity suite for Mac OS X. It is the successor to Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac and is comparable to Office 2010 for Windows. Office 2011 was followed by Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac released on September 22, 2015, requiring a Mac with an x64 Intel processor and OS X Yosemite or later.
Microsoft Office 2011 includes more robust enterprise support and greater feature parity with the Windows edition. Its interface is now more similar to Office 2007 and 2010 for Windows, with the addition of the ribbon. Support for Visual Basic for Applications macros has returned after having been dropped in Office 2008.[4][5] Purchasing the Home Premium version of Office for Mac will not allow telephone support automatically to query any problems with the VBA interface. There are however, apparently, according to Microsoft Helpdesk, some third party applications that can address problems with the VBA interface with Office for Mac.[citation needed] In addition, Office 2011 supports online collaboration tools such as OneDrive and Office Web Apps, allowing Mac and Windows users to simultaneously edit documents over the web. It also includes limited support for Apple's high-density Retina Displays, allowing the display of sharp text and images, although most icons within applications themselves are not optimized for this.
A new version of Microsoft Outlook, written using Mac OS X's Cocoa API, returns to the Mac for the first time since 2001 and has full support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.[6] It replaces Entourage, which was included in Office 2001, X, 2004 and 2008 for Mac.[7]
Office for Mac 2011 has a number of limitations compared to Office 2010 for Windows. It does not support ActiveX controls,[8] or OpenDocument Format.[9][10] It also cannot handle attachments in Rich Text Format e-mail messages sent from Outlook for Windows, which are delivered as winmail.dat attachments.[citation needed] It also has several human language limitations, such as lack of support for right-to-left languages such as Arabic, Persian, and Hebrew [11] and automatic language detection. [12]
Microsoft does not support CalDAV and CardDAV in Outlook, so there is no way to sync directly Outlook through iCloud. Outlook also does not allow the user to disable Cached Exchange Mode, unlike the Windows version, and it is therefore not possible to connect to an Exchange Server without downloading a local cache of mail and calendar data. [13]
Office for Mac 2011 also has a shorter lifecycle than Office 2010, with support phasing out on October 10, 2017.[14] As 32-bit software, it will not run on macOS Catalina, released in 2019.[15]
Two editions are available to the general public. Home & Student provides Word, Excel and PowerPoint, while Home & Business adds Outlook and increased support.[16]Microsoft Messenger 8 is included with both editions, and Microsoft Communicator for Mac 2011, which communicates with Microsoft Lync Server, is available only to volume licensing customers.[17] Office 2011 requires an Intel Mac running Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later.[18]

The Home & Student edition is available in a single license for one computer and a family pack for three computers. The Home & Business edition is available in a single license for one computer and a multi-pack for two computers. The Standard edition is only available through Volume Licensing.[19] The Academic edition was created for higher education students, staff and faculty, and includes one installation.[20] Office for Mac is also available as part of Microsoft's Office 365 subscription programme.
Microsoft announced Office 2011 in 2009.[21] There were 6 beta versions released:
Below the blue Installing button is a progress bar that estimates how many minutes remain before the download is complete. You'll see a progress bar below the Launchpad icon and above the number of megabytes currently downloaded and the total file size.Matt Elliott/CNETAlternatively, since you already have the Mac App Store open when downloading a file from it, you can also keep an eye on downloads from within its confines. When updating apps, you can see their progress on the Updates tab. For new apps, you'll need to click through to an app's page.

Apr 01, 2019 I found this solution elsewhere, basically, you need to update your version of Microsoft Office, but the Microsoft Office Updater on my Mac itself needed to be updated in order to detect that there was a newer version of Office. It kept saying there are no updates, but I could see my Office. Mac microsoft office no drop down.
Access to beta versions was by invitation only,[23] although leaked copies were circulated among Mac file sharing websites.[24]
The final version was released to manufacturing on September 10, 2010,[25] was available to volume license customers a day later,[26] and made available to the general public on October 26, 2010.[27] Service Pack 1 was released on April 12, 2011.[28]
Upgrading to Outlook 2011 for Mac from Entourage 2008 or 2004 is simple. After you install Office 2011 for Mac and close the welcome screen, Outlook automatically upgrades your Entourage Identity into a new 2011 Identity. Your old Entourage Identity remains on your drive unchanged.
Later, when you’re satisfied that Outlook brought forward everything you need from your old Identity, you can save your old Entourage Identity for posterity or trash it. Your old Identity can be found in DocumentsMicrosoft User Data folderOffice 2008 (or 2004) Identities. Identities can be large, so when you’re satisfied that your Identity is working fine in Outlook, deleting your old Identity can free a considerable amount of disc space.
Here are some fine details about upgrading from Entourage 2008 or Entourage 2004:
Categories, calendars, calendar events, tasks, and notes are all supported in Outlook and will be carried forward.
Outlook upgrades only one Identity automatically.
If you have any Project Center documents, they’re left undisturbed. If your project documents are not already in shared locations and you need to share them, consider moving your documents to SkyDrive, SharePoint, Mac OS X sharing, or Windows shared folders.
Project Center projects will be lost because Entourage Project Center is not supported in Outlook.
Outlook does not support Entourage’s link feature. Links that were in Entourage will be abandoned when upgrading.
If you’re using a version of Entourage older than 2004 or 2008, Outlook may not be able to import your Entourage Identity. To find out which version of Entourage you have, choose Entourage→About Entourage. Before installing Office 2011, in Entourage choose File→Export to save your Identity as an Entourage Archive file (.rge). See Entourage help for details about how to do this. In Entourage, choose Tools→Accounts and gather all the account information. You’ll need to re-create your accounts in Outlook. After installing Office 2011, open Microsoft Outlook.
Follow these steps to import your Identity into Outlook from the .rge file using a wizard-like series of setup dialogs:
In Outlook, choose File→Import from the menu bar.
Select the Entourage Information from an Archive or Earlier Version option and then click the right-arrow button at the lower-right corner of the dialog.
Select the Entourage Archive (.rge) option and click the right-arrow button at the lower-right corner of the dialog.
Navigate to the saved Entourage archive .rge file and click the Import button.
Outlook imports your Identity. If it seems like nothing is happening and the progress bar got all the way to the end, just keep waiting. Eventually you see the Done button.
Click Done.
In Outlook, choose Tools→Accounts from the menu bar.
Enter account information to restore your accounts.
