If you are using Entourage for email, and you're having issues connecting or receiving emails after the upgrade, it is likely that you need to run a few updates in order to get Entourage working again. The first thing you need to do is update Entourage.
To update Entourage, you need to launch the Microsoft Autoupdater application. To do that, open up Entourage, and in your menu bar (top of your screen), click on help. From there click on check for updates.
Once you've fully updated Entourage you will need to install an update called Entourage Web Services Edition. You can download directly from Microsoft from their webpage: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24161
After its finished downloading you can install the update, and it will update Entourage. After this, when you launch Entourage it will ask you if you want to import your old entourage profile. You want to select the option to convert it to Entourage 2008.
