Unlike Entourage and Spice bird, Apple mail uses Internet protocols such as SMTP, POP3 and IMAP for communication. Apple also supports Yahoo! Mail, AOL Mail, Gmail, Mobile-Me and Exchange. Apple mail is developed with a simple easy-to-use user interface and has an iCloud account which makes Apple more flexible. Unlike Outlook, Apple Mail uses MBOX file format to keep all user files.
