I hate to say it, but on a fast enough machine, with a proper setup, and
if you DONT have to do much mailing to/from the Internet (e.g., local
company mail only), Outlook is *nice*.  Especially the scheduling /task
list stuff.

However, for general Internet email, it sucks the sweat off a dead donkey's
balls.

(sad that my PPro200/128mb at home, running a PC-based *nix, *smokes* this
 P3/600 I have at work running Win2K... 3 times faster, and it doesent 
 "feel" any faster - of course I only use it for SSH, exceed, and Outlook -
 all of my real work is done on other machines..)
