In short yes and yes. Apple Mail can handle exchange, imap, and pop without any difficulty. Mail will even add meeting requests etc. to iCal. Text Edit is quite capable at handling Word docs, but there may be some limitations such as documents that use macros and the like. I don't use such features in my line of work, so can only speak to this from the perspective that most WOrd docs I have encountered read fine in Text Edit. Of course these apps are default on the machine when you get it. You can always get Pages or Open Office if you want to do more. Of course you will get plenty of feedback from other users as well with their thoughts/opinions on this topic.
