[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 548171, member: 21101"] I think Mac57's post is excellent and good advice. I'll add a few things though. Thunderbird is something I used for almost 3 years on the PC and I had a great experience from it, but the problem is that it doesn't integrate Calendars and Tasks very well (or it didn't in 2004) and the so called 'industry standard' mbx files, are actually not that standard at all. Lotus Notes, Apple Mail, Outlook etc, none of these use it. It's standard amongst the small name email clients, most of which are awful. In fact something that always annoyed me about Thunderbird was that it was excellent and importing mail from any other client, Outlook, Outlook Express etc, but getting it to work the other way around was REALLY painful. I use Entourage though, and whilst Entourage 2004 is a little slow thanks to Rosetta, the 2008 version (out in January) is very quick and looks a lot more Leopard like. I think it's the most complete eMail application for the Mac. [/QUOTE]
