Entourage v. X and Hotmail always too slow

C

Computer Tech

Hello,

I have a PC and a MAC on my home network.

I've been a loyal Hotmail user for years, but may dump it completely.
On a PC with Outlook Express Hotmail is very fast..on a Mac with
Office v.X Entourage it is incredibly frustrating. It seems like it takes
forever..60 seconds or more to even show your list of new mail (you
may even need to click send/receive or switch folders in hotmail to
make it update itself). Keep in mind that I have a *very* fast cable
modem connection.

Outlook Express has always been fast on the PC and I don't know why
Microsoft can't do the same for the Mac with Entourage, or at least
make an OS X native version of Outlook Express. I've had Hotmail for
years, but if a brand new Mac with Office v.X is incredibly slower than a 4
1/2
year old PC with Outlook Express, I'm going to cancel my Hotmail and
switch to Apple's MAIL program and use my local POP mail.

I appreciate your patience with my rant. It's just been driving my
wife and I crazy and I wish there was a resolution. Does anybody have
any ideas? Or do you know if the new version of Outlook 2004 for the
Mac will address any of these issues? Thanks for your help.
