Oh, no! Microsoft would never sell a product that is incompatible with other products in its own product line
On a serious note, my firm has also implemented web access to its Exchange server. I ensure that I am not missing anything by periodically checking the web client. In the past, I simply ran
Mail in parallel with
Entourage 2004. This is no longer possible since our IT staff "upgraded" our Exchange server rendering it incompatible with
Mail. This exchange has dealt with the issue of getting email from Exchange via
Entourage. While not dealbreakers,
Entourage 2004 has other problems that are mind-boggling in their stupidity. I said it before and I will say it now: "Mac users need a working MacOS X port of
Outlook.
Entourage 2004 should be cast onto a dungheap."

Yes, it is true that Apple added Exchange settings to
Mail with MacOS X 10.4. Prior to MacOS X 10.4, Exchange users were forced to use IMAP when accessing their email. It is also true that Microsoft added Exchange settings to its POS with
Entourage 2004. Up through
Entourage v.X, Exchange users were forced to access their email via IMAP--just like they did with
Mail.
