hey all. i'm g4 15 osx 10.4.3
been trying out Entourage and mac Mail after leaving aol. i'm not sure which to pick.
?s
1) entourage has had problems downloading messages from the imap server. sometimes it's fine, and sometimes, it has problems.
this may be due to aol, which still sucks. but even when the aol server is acting up, mac Mail seems to be able to get in there and get all my messages.
2)except, sometimes mac Mail just won't be able to "see" a message. i've tried the "rebuild" function, but no luck.
i get emails that arrive blank, and never get loaded.
what i'd like is for one of these programs to just automatically download every message onto my computer's drive. haven't really been able to make that happen, yet. Entourage's "syncroniZe" doesn't quite do it, and Mail seems to only reeealy get the full messages when you've opened up each one. sometimes i et offline and head to the train, and i still have messages that i can't access...
3) i find the Address Book for mac a little buggy. it's lost some addresses for me. (mostly in syncing to PocketMac, which is probably the culprit) anyone else had this?
entourage just seems much more functional and stable
except for this problem getting into the IMAP server...
4) anyone know how to get Entourage to list contacts by FIRST name? i've gotten so used to how mac Address Book just goes in the order of first name, that i can't adjust to Entourage...
any overall thoughts would be appreciated.
i like how entourage checks spelling, and just has the general funcionality of MS Word,
but mac Mail seems more nimble...
thoughts? thanks
