The Air Force has standardized on Outlook and Office, so everyone uses it with exchange. It best feature is the calendar scheduling. My students send me message for scheduling appointments and my department schedules meetings and resources though the email. So I use it at home as well. I like that pgp integrate with it and I can receive and send pgp messages for a consulting business I have. SInce I teach a linux class I have started using evo and while I like the filtering better and the virtual folders, it was my impression that outlook was one of the best mail clients on windows. Is there something better?
