To each his own. I own Outlook, but I avoid using it like the plague. The only Mac mail software I have liked better than Apple's Mail was Qualcomm's Eudora, which is no longer updated or even available, won't run without Rosetta, and unfortunately never quite got the hang of IMAP.
Check out this post regarding this user's continuing use of Eudora on his Lion MacBook:
Shield Eudora from Lion's Claws
A thousand thanks and kudos to Michael for this fabulously excellent thread!
Eudora's now happy in her new Snow Leopard VM home on my Lion ModBook!
Appears essential to keep resource-forked data off Lion disk:
First attempt with Eudora on SL VM was sharing data on Lion disk. Error messages on open like "can't find Table of Contents" suggest Lion ate resource forks crucial to Eudora.
Found success by transferring data from SL Mac to thumb drive, then mounted drive in SL VM so Lion couldn't touch.
While Michael warns against storing data in VM, appears there's no choice with Eudora. At least She's enthroned on a mirrored RAID.
There is Nothing like Eudora! (to tune of "There is Nothing Like a Dame" from South Pacific -- Oops! my gray hair is showing!)
(It's amazing Parallels can force Lion to store taboo resource forks. Thank God for code warriors!)

  • Why can I not print to my HP CM1415fnw from my Mac, but I can from my PC?

    Why can't I print from my Mac 10.6.8 to my newly purchased HP CM1415fnw (supposedly air print enabled) but I can print to it from my PC?  I thought mac's we're supposed to be easier and this printer is not discoverable wirelessly on my mac or iPad/iPhone/Ipod, but it is from my PC?  I can only print from the mac/iPad/iPhone/iPod to this printer IF the wired cable is installed.  Seems like HP has the problem, but the mac can't even pull up the printer's web page unless there is a wired ethernet connection.  Yes, it is working just fine wirelessly with my PC's on the network.

    Go to the Apple contact page and the first section should say something like "To purchase by phone, please call..."
    Call this number and order a Snow Leopard DVD.
    http://www.apple.com/??/contact/
    replace the ?? with your country's address code, e.g. http://www.apple.com/uk/contact/
    or if you are from America it's simply http://www.apple.com/contact/

  • Why can i not get work email now after IOS 5 "Cannot Get Mail"

    It was working fine in IOS 4 but now email not working.  But i can send just not receive.

    Checking and following instructions on the "iCloud: Troubleshooting" site, I deleted my mail account in settings and reinstalled it.  This deleted all the old mails I saved and the mailboxes I created, but the connection to the server still fails.  I can still send, but not receive mails.  Is there any other way I can read my cloud mail?  From the safari website perhaps?

    Make sure you have cookies enabled and clear your cache.  If it continues to fail try using a different browser.
    Though the following might be something you have already seen, since I can't tell from your explanation I should offer it anyways...

  • Why can i not get my ipad to recognize my wireless printer but my apple desktop works with it

    Why can I not get my ipad2 to print from my my wireless printer that i use for my apple desktop

    It's also possible that your wireless printer will work with a minor OS tweak if you're on Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.x. Your Mac system must be on for printing to occur. (I haven't tested with Leopard 10.5.x or Lion 10.7.x)
    Details are found in this Apple Support Communities thread begun in November 2010
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2658720?threadID=2658720&tstart=0
    I've been using it to print to a Canon MP560 wireless printer and an HP LaserJet 1320 USB-to-Mac printer from my wife's iPad 2 since the first day she received it for both photos and documents.  Duplex printing to the Canon does not seem to be supported.

  • Why can I not get a gmail account on my macmnini?

    Why can I not get a gmail account on my macmnini?
    It tells me "unable to confirm account name or password.
    But the same name and password worked on my ipad 2.

    If you have a Gmail account and you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate a new "application-specific password" in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password in the Keychain Access application.

  • In Dreamweaver CC why can i not get any workspace options? Where do I find 'Draw AP div'?

    In Dreamweaver CC why can i not get any workspace options? Where do I find 'Draw AP div' or any of my 'designer' tools?

    Insertion of APDivs/Layers are deprecated in CC. Historically, APDivs caused many, many problems for people who didn't understand they were not intended to be used as a primary layout tool.  Look at FluidGrid Layouts.

    This article is vague and unhelpful. My iTunes needs help from a pro.
    I have over 120,000 songs -- NO movies, TV, radio, or books...
    I have other programs which efficiently run things which are not audio-based.
    So why can I not get iTunes working well?? It now takes at least 10 secs for any operation to be completed!
    That is just plain evil. But I am sure I could do something to help.
    All the music is on an 2T external drive.

    TS1717 as noted in the thread title...
    Brigancook, is the library database on the external or just the media? iTunes reevaluates smart playlists and rewrites its database after every action on the library. I've found this can make a library half that size, with a lot of smart playlists, quite sluggish. That said I'm aware part of my problem is aging hardware. Having the database on the internal drive may improve performance if it is currently on the external.
    I'd expect to see an exponential relationship between size and response time which may explain what you see. Cutting down on the number of smart playlists might help. If we're really lucky the long awaited iTunes 11 might have streamlined some of the background processes as well as cleaning up the front end.

    Why can I not get my user ID to "stick" when visiting web sites that I am registered with?

    Look in settings, safari.  There are two setting that might help, depending on how the website wants to see you.  If they are using cookies, make sure your accept cookies switch is on.
    Then look at the autofill setting.  You can turn names and passwords on or off.
