Dude,
Take a chill pill. I'm the biggest Mac fan on the planet. I even have my own website dedicated to my platform of choice. I have a G5 at home, that is completely Microsoft free. I keep all my Microsoft Applications on my G4 PowerBook, which I use to access the office when I'm offsite.
Second, I don't use Exchange at the office. I set up an Email Server using Communigate Pro. It works like a champ. The reason why I think Microsoft Office 2004 kicks Ass, is that everyone at the Office loves it. When they found out they could set up a shared calendar in the Project Center, you don't know how happy that made them. It's my job to keep things running smoothly. If everyone at the office was using a different email client that wouldn't happen.
How many offices do you know that are 95% Mac based. I don't know of many. Only our Finance department has PC's, plus a few stragglers.
I'll leave it at that. Happy Holidays.
Take Care.

So if you are in a position of controlling over a 100 Macs, which I honestly respect, get Apple on the phone, tell them the problems, maybe they have a solution you have not thought of. Your a player, they are at least going to listen or read your typed mail asking for an answer, probably even better approach.
As long as there are Tech people like you, who will not take Apple to the mat and demand the functionality you need to work in this, *Windows World* and just push aside Apple Mail or other Apple products, what are you doing ? Your just helping to cut the product share even more, when you have not even asked Apple about your problems. There might be solutions to what you need.
Your also telling 100 plus workers using Macs, Apple Mail is a failure. What does that say to your Mac users when it comes time to buy a computer and most people use them off work for, emailing and surfing. Well the tech guy at our company does not like Apple Mail says it does not do things right, Internet Explorer is not being updated, so guess we better get a Wintel.
When these 100 workers are asked by their friends, what computer they should buy, the workers are now the computer experts, their now the Tech guy, so from your influence against Mail it just blasts loud and clear Apple Mail is inferior, buy Wintel and it grows like a virus.
You have some juice use it. 100 computers will not get you a free ride on Steves Gulfstream, but they will listen.
That's the beauty of the Mac the software meshes with the hardware and no matter if there big or small. You plop a wad of M$$ and it just puts FOD in your engine. Job security I guess
