[QUOTE="hndcvcboi, post: 575746, member: 37676"] I was really looking forward to Office 2008 just to get Entourage but now that I have it I'm going to stick with Mail. Entourage has a known bug where it doesn't play alert sounds for New Mail arrival consistently. It also does not allow you to set your own sounds, you're stuck with the default set. It does not recognized mailing address or phone number contact info in the body of an email and automatically insert that information into your Address Book like Mail does. It doesn't seem to have any stationary and is not as easy to drag and drop pics and edit them in the body of your email like Mail does. It does have a feature that allows you to insert a picture as your background. COOL Unlike Mail, it puts all your emails in one LARGE file making searching slow and cumbersome. This method of storing your emails is also not good with Time Machine making it nearly impossible to restore just one email at a time. It also tends to take up vast amounts of space on the backup HDD if you have thousands of emails. I realize that business users may not need or want these features but I do and as such I'm going to stick to using Mail which by the way has it's own issues. Im confident that Apple will correct the defects in Mail in a timely manner so I'll continue to use it. [/QUOTE]
