Hi You mean you don't know you've had your address book hijacked. It's inherent with Outlook, (express, at least), that's why I used the word "covertly". It's done without the user knowing anything about it.
I would be the first to admit that Apple Mail is far from perfect. For instance you can't send return receipts using Apple mail and that, to me at least, is really silly. Actually the customer liaison that Apple doesn't do is one of the things that irritates me. They have a road map, and that's it, they stick to it rigidly. Little things like, for instance, cut and paste objects, the inability to turn off the "trash", little things like that bug me. So all those people who accuse me of being "In love with Apple", as one person put it, they're totally wrong. And yes, I do give Microsoft credit where it is due. For instance, I am very very impressed with the stability of Windows 7 64-bit. It beats the pants off the 32-bit version in a lot of ways. Obviously it is faster, but it's also more stable.

And apple mail does work for me. I just use outlook when I'm on the windows side, and to send out group emails. outlook handls distribution lists a little better than apple mail. but I use apple mail for most of my email tasks. As for the cookies you are concerned about the internet using. I don't think it can gain access unless you give it permission too. I could be wrong though. But I've never had my address book spammed.
