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.
Hmmmm, perhaps I am missing something here, but I use Outlook at work to access my mail via a MS exchange server. However, occasionally I need to also gather my home email during the workday — when I am selling something, for example — so I input the info for my home POP account via Outlook/Options and Outlook goes merrily ion gathering the Pop email for my home address as well as any email which I get at my work address. I use E-rage on OS 10.2.4 at home and outlook with Win XP Pro at work.
The chief difference I see between Outlook and E’rage is is useful functions — such as the ability to convert an email to a task, or calendar item etc. -- which E’rage offers via a built in script but Outlook does not. It is much clunkier to accomplish this in Outlook.
