Because I like all of the email from my main accounts intermixed. I like things kept in my local database. And I don't like my email staying on the server long -- I only let it stay on the server for two days (four days for my work account, in order to leapfrog weekends). I don't like the way Entourage handles IMAP. If it worked like Apple Mail does, with a meta-Inbox showing the contents of all the account Inboxes, that would be acceptable. But I'm not going to waste my time clicking through a bunch of account Inboxes. Also, I don't like the way Entourage handles moving email from an IMAP account to my local folders. Mail does it right: it treats it like a move command, deleting the IMAP version and creating a copy in the local folder. Entourage treats it like a copy command, which adds a step of then deleting the IMAP copy. Life is entirely about avoiding extra steps. I won't put up with that hit on my time. And once again, an MVP seems to be trying to change the subject. The issue it hand is WHY would Entourage download the same mail again, not an opportunity for Microsoft apologists to nitpick my preferred work environment. Kirk ----- Support America�s Nurses.
