Salesforce and Mac Mail/Entourage

There is now integration for Macs with Contacts and email, similar to the Outlook integration. A new AppExchange application called Maildrop will support both Mac Mail and Entourage. Optimal browser is Firefox, as Safari is prone to Java errors, and does not support many of the features Firefox will. No plan by Apple to upgrade Safari to be compliant with sfdc’s requirements.

Maildrop will:
Create a new case from an email
Create an Email Activity from an email, search for who & what the email is related to (Entourage only)
Create new contacts if needed (Entourage only)
Store passwords in keychain
Support Apple's Mail and Microsoft's Entourage

For Mac Mail



For Entourage

Also available for Mac integration:
