theDose Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 i'm really curious, what's comparable to outlook on the peecee? I'm about to fully transfer over to the "Dark Side", but need to find a matching email client. Currently i'm using outlook 03 and really like it... i like interface, and all the functionality. I like having options when I add an attachment or a picture. I noticed in Entourage, when you drop a pic in, it p places it in the message of the email, and doesn't attatch it... i thought that was a bit wierd... cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Apple Mail all the way. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliott Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 why? what are the benefits?tia, cheers Apple Mail has great junk filtering, good rules, and great compatibility with Exchange servers. More-so than Entourage in my opinion. Looks a lot better than Entourage too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinsc Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 outlook seems to work best for me :) i am used to it - since i use it at work for almost five years :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPeedY_B Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Apple Mail, it just works and I've had no reason to try anything else yet. (Although I use and love Thunderbird on my AMD machine ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theDose Posted November 13, 2003 Author Share Posted November 13, 2003 i guess if you are using a mail client other than Entourage, you must be using ical for calendaring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frod Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 why would you want to use anything other than ical for calendars? entourage's calendar is world's behind ical in terms of overall features and operating system integration. mail does what it does and it does it well. i really don't see why people want their mail applications so feature extensive. i want mine to check mail and that's it. i have ical for calendars, addressbook for my address book, sticky notes for my notes. if i want to use one of those i open it and have less overhead than trying to open up this huge mail 'suite' heh.

theDose Posted November 13, 2003 Author Share Posted November 13, 2003 ... less overhead than trying to open up this huge mail 'suite' heh. I think the thing is, so to speak, it's kinda like a one stop shop i guess. Every thing all in one place. But yea, it does become bloated software. outlook 03 on my peecee takes up 30MB + of ram just to sit there :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theDose Posted November 13, 2003 Author Share Posted November 13, 2003 Does anyone have an easy solution to port over email settings/folders/contacts out of Outlook and get them over on the mac? Oh and what about backing up? Outlook has a "pst" file you could just burn. On the mac? tia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling3k12 Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Can't help you with that specific question, but if you want Outlook for PC on the Mac side, Entourage is there for you. I personally don't use it, I don't like it that much, but I know people who do. If you want an e-mail client, I'd go for Apple's built in Mail. I use that and iCal separately for calendars, basically because I don't have many, and it's really easy to set up new events. I didn't like to use it, but the newest update really has me using it more. And there is no "Outlook" for the Mac, unless you want to use Outlook Express 5, which is not available for OS X.

theDose Posted November 14, 2003 Author Share Posted November 14, 2003 Thanks, i'm slowly trying to port it all over to apple's mail. I guess the first step is to get it in Netscrape first :/ From there i'm not to sure yet, but will figure it out. If only apple's mail understood the .pst file, one file, one transfer, one import... has anyone tried this MailEnhancer 1.1, an add on for apple's mail? http://macupdate.com/info.php/id/13292 :/ cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macman87 Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 i used to love outlook (until version 2003, coz it was slow as) on the pc but now i use Mail. i really love it and how simple everything is... and its also really fast... i just wish it had hotmail support. i havn't tried anything else...

Elliott Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Outlook The closest we have the Outlook is Entourage (unless you'd like to use an older version of Office that's not OS X native), and that's pretty poorly designed. Of course, I would never go back to Outlook. I love Mail, iCal, and Address Book a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
