the case for Entourage:Mac on Snow Leopard

I've been completely heads-down on working on Outlook:Mac recently, but this article from John C. Welch writing for Macworld caught my eye: the case for Entourage on Snow Leopard.

There's lots of detail in there, but the conclusion is what warms my heart:

Entourage is the clear winner

Booyah, baby! And just wait until Outlook:Mac hits the shelves with its all-Cocoa interface, faster database that's Time Machine friendly, and IRM support. There's also [redacted], [redacted], and (my personal favourite) [redacted] support too. You ain't seen nothin' yet. :D

  I saw your comments elsewhere trying to help someone with connecting their MAC to exchange, and how that differs from iPhone. Problem is this: my company's exchange server sits behind a firewall, so I need to be on the VPN when I'm working from home to access exchange. Alternatively, I can use OWA to access it. The iPhone has activesync built in, so it can access and sync with Exchange even from outside the firewall.  Can Entourage do the same? i.e. sync with exchange like iPhone does without being on the VPN? Reason I need this is our IT folks refuse to configure the VPN on a MAC, which is what I use at home.

  If your Exchange server is behind the firewall, then you'll need to configure your VPN so that Entourage can access your mail from home. Using the OS X built-in VPN client will usually work, you just need to get the server settings for it.  If your IT guys won't configure it for you, you can get the settings and find a friendly local Mac guy who can help you out.  Alternately, if you post to a help list like the Entourage public forums, someone there might be able to walk you through it.  The Entourage public forums are here: www.officeformac.com/ProductForums/Entourage/
