Why not just use Eudora as an email client?  It's a great program in every 
regard, it's free, will import your MS Outlook addresses, isn't targeted by 
all the viruses that MS Outlook is, and works with PC's or Mac's.  I don't 
work for Qualcomm, but I've used Eudora for years and never had a glitch.
