Yes a mail program comes with the Mac but is it the best one, what about Entourage?

Of course it's the best, it's what comes on a new Mac . Have you not tried your sisters? Does Entourage have stationary, to do's, notes and RSS feeds for example? The program is called Apple "Mail" Blue.

Mail is a great program. If you need to work with a corporate MS Exchange server, though, Entourage is the best way to go because it integrates with your company email system.

I am considering getting a I Mac for my office and am concern about integrating a email program with my other computers that are PC based. In particular I want to transfer the existing/old email from outlook.
I like to keep all my sent emails as well as most incoming email, this results in a lot of data, which program can best accommodate these large data files?

With regard to my sisters computer, I want to let her select the email program and was looking for direction on what to suggest.

I use Entourage and it is pretty much the same as Outlook. I prefer it over iCalendar and Apple Mail. Sending emails are automatically linked to the contact file, not to mention linking other Word/Excel files related to the contact. Its Project Management features also allow you to link all appointments, contacts, to do lists, and notes.

I don't remember having problems migrating my Outlook files when I switched to Macs in 2004.
