Jeff,

I'm a self-taught Mac geek. I have been using all the systems since  
OS 6 and keep my daughter and a 78 year old friend trouble free (both  
in different states than mine). I think I can help walk you through  
the steps to fixing your problem, however, I make no absolute  
guarantees.

The first need is to protect her received mail. I'm sure she must  
have stored mail in Entourage. If she doesn't, the whole thing is  
easier.

In the Applications folder, drag the Mail application icon (not a  
folder icon) to the Dock if it isn't already there.

1. Launch Mail.
2. Choose "Import mailboxes" from the File menu in the menu bar.
3. Choose Entourage (it's the default on my system).
4. Click "continue" and follow the prompts. (I can't give step by  
step beyond this as I don't use Entourage).

Once the mailboxes have been imported, simply drag Entourage to the  
trash. Don't empty your trash until you are certain everything works  
as she wants.

Whenever she wants to check her mail she can click on the Mail icon  
in the Dock and choose "Get Mail". If you want to set it up to check  
her mail every time she is connected or as soon as she boots the  
system, I can tell you how to do that too.

If the imported mailboxes don't show up in Mail, choose "Show  
Mailboxes" under the View menu.

On the doubles of her emails, it would take some question and answer  
working for me to figure out exactly why that is, but I'd be glad to  
give it a shot.

If you have more questions don't hesitate to ask.

Mary Henry
