[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 696287, member: 21101"] A casual home user shouldn't be spending $400 on an email client... and then complaining that a freebie doesn't have the same functionality. Having said that, I do get a little tired of hearing some users on this forum bad-mouth applications for have a lot of features that they themselves deem 'pointless' (people have said this about Entourage). No one should be judging what other people use, or preempting other people's needs. I was showing someone Entourage last night actually, because I am applying for permanent residence status here in the US, and I have a project on Entourage that tracks all my files, emails and appointments on a single page and I was able to track down a missing form within about 30 seconds just because I have a system that works well for me. If I had a penny everytime I saw someone mocking Entourage's "Project" functionality... well, I'd have about 15 cents, but you get the picture. What IS a problem is when people expect moving to a Mac to be a seamless transition... something Apple propagates to an extent. Apple Mail is not Outlook, it's not 'better' either, it's just different. I have no idea why people who move to the Mac think the Mac will be the same. It took me almost a year to get used to Logic after having used Cubase for 14 years... sometimes you have to suck it up! :D [/QUOTE]
