However, Apple Mail also likes to index and update the unread count for your Public Folders, too (assuming you have those account preferences enabled) ... and it takes me a long time for my initial connection because of this.
Still, Mail has more flexible sending for me. I get errors every time I send mail with Entourage, apparently because it defaults to secure passwords, which my current (non-Exchange) SMTP server does not allow. (Long story.) I get the errors for each message.
With Exchange accounts in Apple Mail, I have more flexible sending options ... I can choose the server, the method of authentication, and SSL/port options independently of those I've chosen for the incoming Exchange server.
Apple Mail is not scriptable for Exchange account setup, while Entourage is (and nicely so, I might add). We developed a cool Studio application to set up mail accounts in various mail clients at my university, and took advantage of this.

Is this Apple's mail.app supposed to have more advanced / robust connection
with Exchange than Entourage, or just just another IMAP connection? In the
end, all I want to do is to be able to share calendars in Entourage, like I
do now in Outlook, and I will be a HAPPY camper!
