Microsoft Entourage is an E-mail Client and Personal Information Manager developed by Microsoft for Mac OS 8.5 and higher. Microsoft first released Entourage in October of 2000 as part of the Microsoft Office 2001 Office Suite ; Office 98, the previous version of Microsoft Office for Mac OS , included Outlook Express 5 . The current version is Entourage 2004, released as part of Office 2004 in May 2004.

Entourage's personal information management features include a Calendar , Address Book , Task List , note list, and project manager. However, Entourage (especially the earliest versions) lacks some of the Groupware functionality of Outlook when acting as a Microsoft Exchange Server Client . Although Microsoft continues to improve Entourage's groupware capabilities with regular updates and service packs, some Exchange functionality is still only available via Microsoft Outlook.

With Entourage 2004, Microsoft began offering a Project Center, which allows the user to create and organize projects. Information may come from within Entourage or outside the program.

Entourage keeps e-mail and attachments within one large database which eventually could become corrupt and need repair. Microsoft provides a Database Utility which allows the user to rebuild and compact Entourage data.
