This thread is drifting a bit off topic. But, I guess that happens.
I actually bought a personal Mac to use at home to learn a new way of
doing things. I never disliked Windows as much as I do now. But, it pays

I'm surprised, is there no Linux mail client that will connect to an
exchange server? I know that you could run Open Office and deal with the
MS Office documents.
