I'm mystified by the possibility that Outlook lacks the wonderful Entourage feature that makes it really easy, with a single click on the envelope icon, to remove an email from the server while keeping it saved on your hard drive in the Inbox. It makes managing POP email from a variety of locations much easier. Is my office manager missing an obvious similar feature in Outlook, or is this one reason Macs are best?
AFAIK, the only email applications that exist on any platform which give "online access" to a POP server (a sort of "poor man's IMAP") are Outlook Express 5 for Mac and Entourage (all versions). Not even other Mac clients can do this. Nor can Outlook (PC or Mac). So it's not a case of Mac being best, nor Microsoft being best, but the Macintosh Business Unit of Microsoft being best - and unique.

PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - 2001 or X. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.
