It's a step in the right direction, that's for sure, but it still falls
short with integration. Granted, 
it can synchronize your contacts and calendars, but you can't update your
calendar items in 
Entourage and expect that the changes will be sent to the server. You just
get an error message 
everytime Entourage tries to sync with the server...

OK, now your question makes sense. Entourage 2001 doesn't have Exchange
support beyond IMAP access to your Exchange folders, right? This was also
true of earlier versions of Entourage X.

However, the last update to Entourage X added quite a bit in this area. It
now (in theory, because I haven't been able to get it to work for some
reason, probably to do with our weird network environment) will synchronise
your inbox, contacts, calendar, etc., i.e., all the usual things you would
expect of an Exchange client. It's not quite up to the same level of
functionality as Outlook (yet), but it's way better than it was.

Note that you need to be running at least Exchange 2000 on the server.

If that's not what you meant and you already know all this stuff, then my
apologies :)
