M$ Entourage vs. Mail.app
Entourage: Better:
- Integrated calendar, address book, note pad - good for Palm sync
- Attachments make a bit more sense
- Different accounts are "accounts" in the menus not "preferences" as they are in Mail.app
- Address book keeps records of letters sent to peeps
Mail.app Better:
- Easier on eyes (text smoothing, clean menus (more customizeable - can hide re:, fw:, etc. buttons if you know the keyboard shortcuts)
- Faster searches and receiving of mail
- WAY better junk mail filter
- Better GNUPG integration (encryption)
- Can check mail from dock, shows how many messages "in"
- Shows % progress on sent messages (good when large attachments)
- Threaded view is AWESOME
Just different:
- Entourage checks spelling on send, mail.app as you type. As you type is better if you like the speed, on send is better b/c it offers a good last chance before it's out
