Dave,
Unfortunately, what you want doesn't appear to be possible...or at
least no one here at the Navy's "premier" C4ISR R&D facility has been
able to figure it out. ;-) NMCI limits access to the NMCI Exchange
Server to NMCI hard seats (running Outlook), NMCI Terminal Services
seats (running Outlook on remote Windows Application Servers that
NMCI controls), to Webmail (from any host with the correct PKI) and
to the NMCI Blackberries. At least here, the NMCI network is
physically separate from our "R&D" network, so there is a firewall in
place that can easily block the ports Entourage would need to connect
to the Exchange server. Mail.app wouldn't work because, as far as I
know, the NMCI Exchange Servers are not configured to support PoP or
IMAP protocols. There's also the issue of having to figure out the
NMCI naming convention to get connected to the right Exchange Server
in the first place (somehow I don't think the Help Desk is going to
support that).
I USED to access NMCI Webmail with my browser (before the 10.4
upgrade broke the ActivCard software and my laptop's ability talk to
our CAC card readers). For now I am running VirtualPC on my Mac and
either Webmail or Outlook via terminal services. Not very efficient
by 1) the CAC card still works under Windows and 2) the Macintosh
version of terminal services under NMCI does not work reliably.

Is it possible to use Apple Mail or Entourage in place of a
Webclient (Safari or IE) to check Webmail hosted by an Exchange
server.
Specifically, https://webmail.nmci.navy.mil where the user would
retrieve their email as
user: nadsusea/[username]
pw: xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The site is PKI enabled and I have been successful in using my CAC
card with 10.4 to check my email with Safari.
