The main Entourage screen appears and is now congured. Your ConnectMail account (listed as your

progress, click the Window menu and click Progress.
If Entourage 2008 displays an error message about being unable to validate the LDAP server (this is used for
looking up staff email addresses), this can be xed by downloading and installing a validation certicate from:

If you don’t upgrade your version of Entourage to the Web Services Edition (see instructions on page 2), you
need to connect to the Kent network using the Kent VPN service to gain access to your ConnectMail account
via Entourage when not on campus. Details of the VPN service are online at:
