Does Apple make their Macintosh email program available on Windows, so in the times when it is mandatory for me to boot into Windows for work related/compatibility related issues, I can check my email without going through apple.com

1. This is a software question, please go to the software forum.
2. Apple doesn't make email program for Windows.
3. If you need to check email (assuming POP3, IMAP or webmail) under Windows, you don't need Apple's email program.
4. Assuming you are using Macintel hardware, you can try Parallels without booting to Bootcamp.

Well, you can. Basically any email client that supports IMAP can be used with .Mac mail accounts. I recommend Thunderbird.

This is one of the worst tips I have ever read. Who is using fscking outlook? Didn't you know that internet explorer and outlook are the coolest hacker gates to your computer that exist on this planet (don't answer - you don't know, thats obvious)?

Use thunderbird or mozilla on windows. Or anything BUT outlook.

If he's using IMAP, that's not necessary.
