10.3: Office v.X reinstallation tips
Authored by: syko on Nov 06, '03 03:04:13PM

If you're using any M$ email product then you 'deserve' to get your mail corrupt. I mean that in a light gentle way, but I want to make people aware that M$ email and the way it 'handles' your mail, addresses, etc., is just plain irresponsible.

If you value your data use Apple's Mail or Eudora.

My perspective from pro and personal experience
Authored by: Norm Nager on Nov 06, '03 03:45:17PM

Started using Entourage 2001 several years ago and moved up through various Entourage X versions in what is now Office X 10.1.5 several years ago. I've had no problems with corrupted messages. By the way, email is only one component of Entourage X, together with Calendar, Tasks, Notes and Address Book. And Entourage is one component of Office X, together with Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. I've found bugs and limitations as I've moved through the different versions but I can't recall corrupted email in the many thousands of messages I exchanged with my university students, alumni and faculty colleagues before my retirement or with other correspondents since.

10.3: Office v.X reinstallation tips
Authored by: NeoX on Nov 07, '03 12:43:40AM

If you believe everything you read about MS, then you are a complete newbie. Show me proof that MS is using my data sent through entourage or Outlook. If this was the case then MS would not have released the Source code to all of there Windows and Office apps to their MVP customers. Yo should know facts before you speak of facts...

re: how Entourage handles email.

Microsoft has little to do with how Entourage handles email. Entourage, like Outlook Express 5 before it, is simply a port/upgrade of Claris Emailer. Apple wrote emailer, and wrote the email database feature before giving the technology to Microsoft as part of the "Treaty of Cupertino."
