Mac OS X update fails to fix vulnerability: A major revision of Apple's Mac OS X operating system released this week fails to come bundled with a vital, recently-issued security fix. [...] Unless Apple faces up to the security issues its users face, its reputation for making secure operating systems, already damaged by its mishandling of these recently discovered vulnerabilities, will be further tarnished." [The Register] I agree. This time Apple blew it badly, and needs a lot of work to regain the lost confidence.

Experiences of Entourage 2004 vs. Mac OS X Mail -- Comment()
AR commented Entourage 2004 junk mail filtering: 'Entourage 2004 does include a rather sophisticated Junk Mail Filter. You may turn it on under the Tools > Junk E-mail Protection.. menu item. I recommend running under "High."' At the moment I'm using Mac OS X Mail at work, and test driving Entourage 2004 at home. The Entourage junk filter classified systematically mail sent by me from another account as junk. Have others had similar experiences? I'm not running under "High" due to this first impression. For me, Mac OS X mail spam filtering seems to be easier to use. At least there are fewer parameters to tune, and filtering works very well (but that may be due to most of my real mail being in Finnish, and most of the junk being in English). Another problem is that Entourage shows unread messages in the inbox, but there are none visible when I open the inbox. What might cause this problem?
