Email Software (Urgent)

Rooky007 · 12 Feb 2007 at 19:24

I had to creat this one as i really need to get this bit sorted.

On Windows I currently use Outlook 2003 which is within my office suite and I love that to bit.

I have been using mail on the mac but i just dont seem to like it think it cos i am so use to Outlook and having contact and calender all together which i use all the time..

I am wondering if there is any other software out there for the Mac that would do what i want... Possbly free?

Or should I get Parallel? And have Office within Mac.

So it should be the same file format to move over .PST
Also how much is it does anyone know?

No, it's not .pst, it uses .mbox I believe!

I know the Mail does that built in OS X but what about this microsoft email the guys talking about which meant to be like outlook

Pretty certain entourage use's .mbox too, but I think it has a migration tool!
