RE: Looking for a *very* stylish PC wireless keyboard and mouse

I have been using Entourage 2004.
it is just about workable for emai and nothing else.
Some of my distribution lists do not come up in Entourage.
I think $Micrsoft$ do it on purpose.

The only MAPI compatible version of Outlook for the Mac is Outlook 2001
which is not OS X. Entourage 2004 claims to have Exchange support but it
is far from perfect. It relies on using Outlook's Web Client and also
does not support tasks.. Plus when you have used Outlook for all your
life, Entourage is far from perfect.

Unless I am mistaken, there is no other MAPI client for Mac. As for
IMAP, that will not provide you with calendar, tasks, global address
lists (can be done via LDAP but clunky).
