I have to use Outlook, connected to an Exchange server, at work. I want to keep as far away from it as possible. When I compare what I have to endure on Outlook, compared to how well Seamonkey and Thunderbird work on my Dovecot server, I fail to understand why any business would use Exchange/Outlook.
Because it is sold by a business and supported by a business, not by a bunch of volunteers, that give their software for free. Surely that's not serious, can't be. Value costs money. (not my opinion; theirs) So many don't even consider any opensource solution. I worked for the company that invented Unix, and they used Exchange server! It was horrible when you had to connect out of the premisses, by phone and modem. Could take half an hour or more to sync, get email, send replies. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
