Entourage is NOT the Outlook equivalent for the Mac. The Outlook equivalent for the Mac is Outlook 2001. <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/outlook/outlook_default.asp?navindex=s13> Entourage can not connect to an Exchange Server. Only Outlook 2001 (on the Mac) can. Entourage is more of a Outlook Express on steroids, POP3, IMAP and HotMail connections only. <http://www.microsoft.com/mac/resources/resources_main.asp?EmbFName=chart.asp> You don't appear to have tested this 3rd e-mail client for the mac (I don't have one handy to test on).
