I used to use Outlook in my strickly-PC days and while it's a fine program, once I switched to MAC, Parallels and Apple Mail I found I liked Apple Mail better. If you do decide to use Apple Mail you should also consider buying SpamSieve ($30). I used to get a lot of spam but once I installed SpamSieve I almost never see any spam.

Hi, I use an Apple iMac running OS X 10.9.1 (Maverick). I also use Parallel 8 to run my Windows <br />
applications. I use MS Outlook for my email. I am considering using the default Mail application that comes with OS X, but I know little about it. If anyone uses it and can contrast it to MS Outlook, that would be great. If you made the switch as well, are you happy you did, do you regret it, do you believe it was about even? <br />
<br />
Thank you for your advice,<br />

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
