<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>An important criteria here is the version of Exchange running on the server. Entourage only works as a full function Exchange client with Exchange 2000 and up. Outlook 2001 is the only desktop client that works with the Exchange ver. 5 series. Microsoft's roadmap for Exchange clients for platforms other than Windows is for those clients to use the Outlook Web Connector which provides full access to the Exchange environment. The version of the Web Connector in Exchange 2003 is actually really good. For Exchange 2000 and up you can enable IMAP access for non-Microsoft clients and access most features of Exchange.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Another option would be a Windows Terminal Server with Outlook installed that an OS X Mac can connect to with the Remote Desktop client application which gives you basically a Windows desktop in a window on your Mac, similar to the MIT Citrix service.</FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>Err...Entourage 2004 (and IIRC, Entourage v.X) supports Exchange Server connectivity. Outlook 2001 is a Classic and antiquated client at this point.</FONT></P>
