Sven, you have to be careful when talking about Outlook and Outlook Express. Microsoft has several different versions out there. On the Windows side, Microsoft includes Outlook Express with their operating system just like Apple includes Mail with OS X. So your ISPs will be very familiar with it. Microsoft also provides Outlook, a more robust personal information manager that functions like Entourage. Outlook is also the client for Microsofts' corporate e-mail system -- Exchange. Therefore your IT department may be familiar with Outlook. Microsoft used to provide Outlook Express for the Mac. Apple used to included it with its OS releases as the default Macintosh e-mail client (until Mail was added to the OS X builds). Microsoft also had (has?) an Outlook client for the Mac (for people who needed the ability to connect to Exchange severs). However, Microsoft is in the process of moving this Exchange connectivity from Outlook to Entourage. >From Microsofts' point of view the e-mail client picture would be; Windows: Home Use -- Outlook Express Business -- Outlook Macintosh: Home Use -- Apples' Mail Business -- Entourage Russ Carr -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
