I use Entourage and find it to be pretty useful. It's like Outlook, but set-up very different, but has most of Outlooks functionality. It seems to work better with IMAP than Outlook Express, which I use on my PC. OE will not send messages other than hotmail on my PC, though it will receive from all my accounts. I'm sure it's a configuration thing, and I'm just too lazy to set it correctly, but with Entourage, which I set up exactly the same way, everything has worked flawlessly.
That said, I have a copy for sale if you want! I bought it standalone when I first got my PB and then realized I needed the full Office soon after so it's fully licensed and ready to go.
