     If the user has already created an email account, they could be prompted which type of email account they are creating.  The type of account created is an IMAP account.

    If the user has not yet created an Entourage email account on their computer, they will enter the Account Setup Assistant.  Enter your WildcatMail address. Do not select the My account is on an Exchange server checkbox.  Click on the right arrow to continue.
