Hi Sophie,

I have been a MacOS supporter (professionally) for about 5 years now, so 
nice to see others changing over. Strangely I don't have a Mac of my 
own, and one reason could be the lack of Turnpike.

Have a look at Thunderbird as an alternative. I haven't used this 
program myself, but a lot of people have said that it is really good.

If you want, I can check with some of my Mac colleagues at work and see 
what they are using for Mail/News.

Kevin.
