In fact, Outlook Express (both OS 9 and Windows versions) has
absolutely nothing to do with Microsoft Office Entourage (for Mac) and
Microsoft Office Outlook (for Wintels).
The code-base for Outlook Express and for Entourage or Outlook are
completely different. They have absolutely no code in common.
I don't know why Outlook Express (formerly Microsoft Internet Mail and
News) has been equated in people's minds as somehow being a "standard"
(free) version of Outlook or Entourage.
Microsoft Office Outlook (for Wintels) and Microsoft Office Entourage
(for Macs) are both PIMs ("Personal Information Managers") which
happen to have email capabilities (Entourage, Microsoft Office
Outlook), while Entourage additionally has NNTP functionality. They
both have a calendar and to-do list, as well as contact management
functionality.
Microsoft Office Outlook does not have NNTP functionality (unless you
use Microsoft Office Outlook with a Microsoft Enchange Server rather
than as a simple Internet email client and Personal Information
Manager).
