Hi all.

At work, we use Groupwise for all of our email, calendaring, etc. I have a Mac. I know that there's a groupwise client, but the problem is that a) I don't like it, b) I want to keep all of my contacts and whatnot synced up between my two Macs at home.

At the moment, I'm taking Entourage 2004 for a spin, and it seems to play nicely with Groupwise (e.g. when someone sends me an appointment request, I get an option to accept/decline), but I was wondering if anyone can comment on their experiences in this kind of situation?

For a long time, I just used Mail.app, which was fine, but it's doing some things that are troublesome:

1) When new messages are sent to IMAP folders, I get an indication that there are unread messages in that folder, but when I click on the folder, the new messages are immediately marked as read. Sometimes, new messages are not indicated at all.

2) #1 sucks when someone sends me an appointment and I never see it.

3) I cannot add groupwise appointments into iCal

4) PocketMac syncs my iPaq better to Entourage than it does to iCal. And I love iCal.

Thanks in advance, ya'll.
