![]() ![]() Mail.app will work for some but not others. Sadly, also a non-starter in a corporate environment where mail must follow ITAR law.īut that brings me to my main point which is: there is no one right answer. The ability to search nearly instantly through e-mail, bulk edit tens of thousands of items at a time, apply multiple tags to a single message and more make it perfect for me. Personally I prefer using the Gmail web app. Which means Outlook does actually have its place. I wish I could as I prefer them, but they don’t work that well with Exchange, IMO. If you want to do things like book conference rooms (well, book them reliably), have full access to a shared GAL, get updates on event changes, etc. The flat file method works for a small to medium sized mailbox, but really starts to fall down on the very, very large mailboxes. There are also issues with Mail.app when you have scary large mailboxes. I’m not an über huge fan of Outlook, but in our corporate environment Mail.app is a non-starter. We have worked endlessly to get the Apple products to work reliably but they continue to have problems on a daily bases that I have never even seen occur with Microsoft. Most of the people that complain about Microsoft and the way they do things are only capable of looking at it from their own singular point of view. I have worked in IT for Disney and other major entertainment companies where the creatives think Apple products are the greatest thing ever and then complain endlessly about the problems they experience and never realize the problem is the their super cool Apple products. You may love iWork products until you try to use them in an enterprise environment and save them to a file server and next time someone tries to open the file it is corrupt, won’t open, requires you to upgrade your software just to open a document. We in IT make all of these technologies work for users and they never see the big picture. Microsoft is far from loosing it’s monopoly where it counts…in business. They think Apple products are so great because they use them at home and they think Microsoft sucks. I see this all the time from end users in business.
