By Derrick Story 06/04/2002 The first time I heard about an Entourage database crashing and leaving the poor user with neither mail nor contact info, I immediately dashed up to my hotel room and backed up my laptop. This wasn't going to happen to me.
The way I see it, we have two noteworthy alternatives for handling mail on Mac OS X. Choice #1 is the Mail.app client that comes with the operating system. Mail.app is clean, stable, and pretty. The other big name option is Entourage X , which is included with Microsoft's Office for Mac OS X. Until recently, the maximum size for the Entourage database that manages all of your mail and contact info was 2 GB.
