outlook express
Looking to upgrade to a mac, had one years ago. The company I work for uses outlook express. Can mac run outlook express? If it can't, how can a mac communicate with the home office which uses outlook express?

Microsoft Office 2008 has an application called Entourage, which is essentially Outlook for OS X. That should suit your needs.

Or you could run Bootcamp, or Parallels, or VMFusion and run Outlook Express.
I'd look into Office 2008.

Thanks, I've heard of Entourage, but wasn't sure if it would be compatable with outlook. I need to look more into it to.

Re: outlook express
I heard that it's nearly the equal of Outlook now in Office 2008
