Just an FYI, Entourage is not that close to Outlook. Office X is actually a
totally seperate code base (as is IE for the Mac). Entourage is actually
closer to Outlook XP as far as how it looks, but they're still not quiet the
same.

That's what I use, with two seperate IMAP accounts. I never noticed any
buggy-ness with Mail.app under Jaguar. Do you have any examples? iCal is
fantastic.
