As to the Outlook/Outlook Express vs. Thunderbird/Evo/whatever argument,
there are many legitimate reasons for people to use Outlook/Outlook Express.
Maybe they have a corporate standard, maybe there are technical reasons
(T-Bird doesn't handle IMAP right for me), or they might just just like
Outlook/Outlook Express better.
To say that using Outlook/Outlook Express is some sort of faux pas is just
silly. Making someone feel like they are bad for using a product from big,
bad Microsoft is nuts.
