Many thanks for everyone's input; very helpful! I've been a bit busy at work and haven't had time to respond faster, sorry. I used OE for a few years, and Entourage is obviously then a very easy app to switch to. Several things I don't like or missed in Mail I've found in Entourage: bcc, more audible feedback options (sounds), uncomplicated mail + settings import from OE and even from Now Contact/Up to Date. Since I own Entourage already, I have it now installed on one Mac (my iBook). One drawback: I use Now C/UTD intensively for work, especially the contact manager (I run daily mail merges etc), and Entourage doesn't quite seem to measure up in that department... but that would really have been too good to be true. Thank you very much for input and comments, everyone! -tobias.
