I'd probably hold off of MS Office for Mac if you can. The new version of Office which is Office 2008 will be coming out in like 6 months, which will be years better than the last version of Office and will be universal binary as well.you buy MS Office for Mac you'll get their Entourage program (I am not much of a fan of that one though)
Yes, it's called Mail. It's Tiger's default email app, and is great for everyday use. I've got 6 email accounts set up through it. It's simple and elegant
When you have Mail x-ed out, but still running for like, 2 hours and then you click on it, does it take a bit to maximize?

I keep it running pretty constantly on my iMac... but I don't minimize it very often (is that what you mean by x-ed out?). I use hiding a lot more than minimization. I've never seen what you describe. I guess it might possibly have to do with it getting cached out of VRAM?
In any event, if Mail doesn't work for whatever reason, other relatively defensible options include Thunderbird/Eudora/Penelope (free) and Entourage (not free).
Hmmm. How much RAM do you guys have?
I have 1GB. Could that be it?
I have four separate accounts. My PM G5 has 1 GB RAM. I have never seen the delay that you are talking about unless I have a bad connection--which is quite often around here....

2 gb here. Yes, your 1gb could definitely be a potential reason for the slowness.Hmmm. How much RAM do you guys have?

Would you suggest having all the e-mails on Mail, or have just two main ones with others linked to those mains ones?
