I'm running OSX (10.3.6) and Entourage 2004, hooked up to a server with Exchange on it.
I have "synchronize with server" turned off so I'm not sure what's happening, but every few minutes or so I'll get the beachball (only in Entourage) and it only seems to happen when it says "Now updating XYZ" in the bottom right corner, where XYZ is the Inbox, Sent items, or other folders I have set up in the program. It's more than a little annoying to be typing an email message when all of a sudden the cursor will freeze, turn to a beachball, and then a five or six seconds later will finally resume what I've typed. My questions are:
1) Anyone know why it's beachballing? I'm guessing it's something about communicating with the server.
2) What is the "Now updating..." function, and is it necessary?
