Mail

[Howard Brazee]

I have not looked at replacing Mail with Entourage. Am I missing
anything?

My Office Mac is 2009, my wife's is older.

Is that right? It's current, whatever year.

It depends. Read up on it and it you want to use some of the features
offered - go ahead. I personally think its bloated and has features 90%
of people don't use.
If you're at a company that uses Exchange as the email server it might
be your only real choice - I'm assuming it has the capability to see
everyone's calender on the server.
Believe it or not there are companies that use Macs *and* Windows.

Thunderbird however is simple, has open standard LDAP capability.

From Wiki:
Entourage import/export limitations

Entourage cannot natively read Outlook Personal Folder files and cannot
read Outlook archived emails without first re-importing them back into
the main Windows Outlook database.[citation needed] As a result, this
makes it impossible to directly transfer email data from Outlook
(Windows) into Entourage (Mac).

Although Microsoft has released a PST Import Tool for Entourage 2004 for
Mac, this does not solve the problem of exporting data from Windows to
Mac, because this utility can only import PST files from Outlook 2001
for the Mac.[citation needed] It is incompatible with any PST files
created with Outlook for Windows.[citation needed] In other words, the
Import Tool only allows transfer from Mac to Mac, *not Windows to Mac.*

Figures, Microsoft hindering a Win to Mac migration.
