Do you use network homes or redirect your ~/Documents to network shares? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John McClernan Sent: Wednesday, March 15, 2006 9:29 PM To: Entourage:mac Talk Subject: Re: Microsoft User Data folder
I have to agree with Paul. Before Entourage, our school faculty was using Outlook Express. When we made the changeover to Entourage, we (the IT staff) received only positive feedback. Typical was: "Better. Way better!". And yes, Joseph, we are using Exchange. I use Apple Mail.app for my personal mail and Entourage for my school mail because I want the stored mail in separate databases. After doing this for more than a year, I'm quite satisfied, but I still believe that Entourage is easier for the not-so-computer-savvy members of the faculty. Personally, before I was an Outlook Express user, I was comfortable with Eudora (pre - OS X). Once I made the switch, I wondered why I stayed with Eudora as long as I did. BTW Joseph, do you realize all the free technical support this list receives in feedback from Paul, Jud and some others? Some thanks and kudos are too infrequent, methinks. That's my 2¢, FWIW. Slaínte!
