Well, over the weekend I took the time to upgrade from Office V.X to Office 2004. I did so based on the encouragement of the leaders of this board, and I'm very glad I did. Although there is a little time required to learn the new features, I encountered none of the problems cited by others in doing the upgrade.
I have found that my primary IMAP problem, that of messages being renamed in the inbox, has indeed gone away. In fact, the IMAP experience is greatly improved and appears stable even under a heavy load. However, I have not turned on any of the spam filtering included in the new Entourage, even though it looks very powerful. That's because I'm using Mailblocks.com (I am only a customer, and have no connection with the company) for spam filtering, and it is 100% effective with minimal administrative overhead. While it was problematic in the face of the way the previous version of Entourage handled IMAP, with the fixes in the new Entourage this looks to me like the perfect way to eliminate spam. I won't get into a commercial; check it out for yourself. I'm happy to have an off-line dialogue with anyone wanting more information.
