[WinMac] BackOffice Mac Services need info sources

First let me apologize for the series of really dumb questions I'll be asking in
the next few weeks.
We just got a Dell Server with Back Office Small Business Server and have a
programmer modifying some service system and accounting software for a network of
currently 4 PCs (10 user license).
Without much of a problem we were able to set up Outlook so that the PC users could
use email.
Now I want to add several Macs to the network so that they can share printers and
email (internal for now).
The good news is that I installed Mac Services without too much trouble (we're
supposed to call Dell for support but thus far they've just provided noise where
Mac services are concerned... don't get me started about they're screwy support on
my 3500 laptop).
Connected my mac to the network, no problem with setting up printer services, set
up shared folder accessible from my Mac and the PCs in about 5 minutes, very nice
so far.
Now comes the first problem. installed Outlook Express on my Mac, go to the
preferences area and options for connecting to the local server which are present
in the PC version are not in the Mac Version. Is there a version of Outlook (not
Outlook Express for the Mac) is there a server ready version and were do I get it?
Am I missing something in the Outlook setup for the Mac?
More generally, the only reference to Mac Services in the BackOffice Help and
Online files are in of all things "troubleshooting" and hardly any help at all.
Can't find anything very useful on the Microsoft Web Site. Are there FAQs, web
sites, books, covens, cults, or secret societies where I can info about Mac
Services under NT?
TIA
Tony
