"More powerful"? Doubt that. Will concede the filesize point, as well as a
couple easier-to-use functions that OE has that Outlook doesn't (flaggin
email comes to mind ...).

Would piss me off, too. But how many people do that, and how often? They put
contacts into the "Contacts" folder, and no where else. I don't keep my
contacts in my Inbox, for example; I make an entry in the Contacts folder.
Or I drag an email from the person to the contacts folder - which
automatically (semi-)fills out a new contact form with the information
gleaned form the email.

Again, how many people have 10K contacts? You're talking mailing list sizes
here. You sound much more like a user on the far end of the power/features
curve, rather than the majority of users.

Or did you mean moving 10K messages?

You want a week detail, shown next to a month detail? OK.
BUT ... neither can OE do that, since OE doesn't do calendars at all, so I'm
not sure of the significance of this point ...

You can if you have an Exchange server. :-) And you can't launch OE without
it's mailbox file, either, so again I'm confused.
