The old ones go back to Claris Emailer, the newer stuff is from Apple Mail (can I say that here ;) ) which I've used for personal email since it came out. Work wise (which is why I'm here) I'm using Entourage, and yes, I've lost work emails. I don't think it is all the fault of Entourage, I think a good chunk of the blame is on how creaky old Exchange 2003 server software and hardware is configured. Rumor is that 'the IT guys' are going to migrate us to a Linux solution. We'll see how that goes. > really good jokes concerning this phenomena? Not really, but it IS funny to glance back at some of the old emails. -- MacBook Pro 2.53GHz Core2Duo (Unibody) 4GB of RAM OS 10.6.5 Build 10H574 3GS iPhone Software 4.1 Build 8B117 -- YouTalk mailing list List information: http://www.entourage.mvps.org/support_options/list.html List moderator: [email protected], [email protected] To unsubscribe: mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
