Is Entourage just MS's version of Outlook? How does it handle IMAP? I use OE on this thinkpad with my IMAP server and it's not very good with IMAP at all...the bad thing is it's the best thing out there for IMAP on the PC.
I am currently using Mozilla Thunderbird on my new QS and it works pretty well, occasionally it will send an email and then not be able to copy it to the 'sent items' folder, don't know if the connection is timing out or what, I can save it to 'drafts' and move it to 'sent items' and it works. It only does this occasionally, so it's WAY better than OE. Would be nice if I could solve this last small problem. Overall I'm pretty happy with it, a few small quirks or options that I wish I could change, but overall it works very well. I just wanted to get some info and an opinion on Entourage and find out if it was worth looking into?
