    Office does not 'mess with' anything connected with apple mail. Yours is
    the first report I have seen of any problems with mail after installing '04,
    and from your description, I would suspect that you are the one that is
    'interfering with this functionality'.

    Try to install the software and use it as is. See if everything works
    properly then, and then change one thing at a time until you find out what
    has caused the problem.
